This industrial tahini factory on Geary Avenue is now the place to go in the city for Israeli staples including fresh falafel, hummus and house made halva. It's also open during the day as a cafe and lunch spot.

Korean snacks and teapot cocktails are a hit at this hideaway that’s popped up where Holy Oak used to be near Bloor and Lansdowne. They don't take reservations so plan on leaving your number and grabbing a drink in the 'hood while you wait for a table.

Jen Agg’s latest concept making over an old diner on West Queen West has proven popular, serving French bistro fare complemented by classic American diner food. Don't miss the steak frites.

The chocolate bomb at this tucked-away Peruvian restaurant near King and Spadina became a social media sensation this year, and the rest of the menu featuring items like a ceviche sampler and Pisco sours is just as mind-blowing.
