We had brunch at Baily's and I thought the food was fine, and I'm quite the food snob.

That is totally exactly what I thought of as well.

Boston Pizza.

I think that Capri sign is the same one, but fixed up and with new lights installed.

Hey guys. I'm going to briefly be in Hamilton for supper on Friday afternoon, as I am meeting up there with a couple of friends before taking off on a camping trip that night. So wherever we eat downtown, it can't be a really slow service place. Could anyone give me a recommendation?

matt602 · #**170** Posted **Jun 11, 2008, 1:11 AM**

Black Forest Inn on King East at Ferguson. The time I went we got our main orders within 10 minutes. It may end up being very busy though, so consider other suggestions as a backup plan. For desert you can hop over to Brownies just East of it.

#**171** Posted **Jun 16, 2008, 2:21 AM**

Thanks for the suggestion. I was actually looking for something more central due to time constraints and proximity to the Hamilton GO Centre (picking up a friend to go camping).

I went to the Hunan House on Friday and the Lazy Flamingo today. Both I would recommend.

so the annual VIEW mag dining awards are out.
Great stuff....it's MUCH better than the bland version the Spec does which is full of Swiss Chalet, Taco Bell and other 🞵🞵🞵🞵.
I'll have to check out this Kookaburra place. sounds great.

"Grilled Kangaroo" sourced from Louisiana, eh? Free range organic? What's the karmic footprint on that dish?

Perry's was around since the '80s and, like many institutions of its age, was in desperate need of a tune-up. That's not the most scenic or pedestrian-friendly stretch, to begin with. Synergy is key. Perry's probably took a hit in the mid-90s when the Just Desserts next door (now a dance studio) closed shop in the wake of the Toronto shooting. But, as elsewhere in the city, small flowers crack concrete.

This city is seriously lacking in African restaurants. I really miss the Ethiopian and Moroccan places available in Toronto. There doesn't seem to be anything like that here.

raisethehammer · #**175** Posted **Sep 27, 2008, 5:28 PM**

try Safari Samosas at Wilson/Wellington or possibly Curry Cabana at King/Wellington (not sure what kind of food that is though).

markbarbera · #**176** Posted **Sep 27, 2008, 5:40 PM**

Curry Cabana is Guyanese I believe. maybe Cuban? Definitely Carribean style food.

I'll have to check out Safari Samosas sometime. I was watching a cooking show earlier where an Eritrean cook was making injera, which triggered fond memories of meals at Ethiopia House on Irwin Street, just off Yonge in Toronto. I hate not being able to get Ethiopian food here, along with a really good North African tagine or couscous dish.

Wasn't there a Moroccan restaurant on King West by Hess once upon a time? It would have to been open many years ago, or perhaps it just existed in my imagination.

I'm guessing Guyanese, have never know Cubans to cook with curry. Guyana was once a British Territory, and that meant many workers were brought from India.

I haven't been, but apparently Dalina's on King William is good....I think it's Egyptian??

geoff's two cents · #**179** Posted **Sep 27, 2008, 10:03 PM**

Anybody tried the Italian place where Infusions used to be yet - Walked by today and they're open, with a menu on the window to boot. It seems to be a little brighter and cleaner in there than it used to be, which should be a good thing. Given current finances, I'll have to confine myself to an Italian soda on the patio until I know their food is worth it.
