Toronto Restaurant Tips by sarahjayn

Restaurant Name: CN tower Revolving restaurant

Okay, so I wasn't a really big fan of the CN Tower to begin with, so my review of this place might be tainted by my general distaste for its surroundings. As far as I could see, though, the restaurant was some Euro-esque pre-prepared dishes that basically tasted like cardboard but came with the price tag of a real restaurant - a good one, too, with, like cloth napkins and such. Anyway, no one I saw there was really happy with what they got. Vegetarian selections were very limited . . . there was only one thing on the menu I could eat. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Favorite Dish: The Diet Coke here is served cold and very, very crisp. It's damn near five dollars, though.

Restaurant Name: Raw! Raw! Raw!

Okay, so this restaurant is located across from College Hostel and in between a sketchy laundry and quickie mart. It's not the expected location for really well-prepared food stuffs. However, it's the best vegetarian restaurant I've ever been in. The staff is really enthusiastic about their work and very, very helpful (but not in that creepy way where like they watch you eat and stuff - I totally hate that). The food is very fresh, and they're willing to accommodate any random request you might have, save for asking for hunks of meat or a hibachi.
The only bad thing about this place is their hours. They close freakishly early, and kind of randomly.

Favorite Dish: The pumpkin soup is to die for.
