3 d. ago What to eat at first Toronto outpost of restaurant chain made famous by Guy Fieri

Vancouver's Peaceful Restaurant has finally opened its first location in Toronto, bringing Northern Chinese cuisine to the Annex.Peaceful Restaurant had already been a local favourite across Metro Vancouver for 15 years by the time Guy Fieri rolled into town in 2013, to feature the restaurant on an episode of his show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.The episode further catapulted the restaurant into local legend status, beloved city (dare we even say, province?) over for its droolworthy Mandarin-style cuisine.It was only a matter of time before we got the chance to dust off our chopsticks and try the restaurant for ourselves, and now, nearly 30 years after Peaceful Restaurant's first location opened, we've finally scored our own location in Toronto.At the helm of the whole operation is Executive Chef and founder Charlie Huang.Huang opened the first location of Peaceful Restaurant in Vancouver back in 1998, and tells us visitors from Toronto have been begg...

1 week ago Toronto neighbourhood lands on list of world's coolest for 2025

Time Out has dropped its annual list of the 39 coolest neighbourhoods in the world, and unlike last year (where the 6ix was completely snubbed), Toronto's very own Davenport has made the cut, which may not come as a huge surprise to locals.So, what makes this stretch of the city stand out? Once giving off industrial vibes — lined with garages and factories — Davenport has built itself a new lease on life. The area is now bustling with foot traffic and trendy cafés, buzzing patios during the summer, and breweries that draw crowds by night.Old warehouses and industrial infrastructure in this part of town have, in many cases, been reimagined to fit Davenport's modern flair.Of course, landing on a list that celebrates neighbourhoods shaping culture around the world only means Davenport isn't just cool by Toronto standards, it's officially on the global "coolness" radar.The only other Canadian locale to make this coveted list is...
