Restaurants in Oakville, Canada

Maple Syrup, Maple Butter, Maple Sugar …

Niagara Ice Wine!

Just got a suggestion from a chef friend: get him one of martin picards cookbooks! Canadiana cookbook...Martin Picard has 2 restaurants in Quebec. The Sugar Shack book was a huge best seller: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/2980949868/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1405449552&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40

Ah Dave - have I a suggestion for you.. a cookbook which I've gotten for oodles of little tokens for friends called: THE ONTARIO TABLE. I suggest not only because it's outstanding w wonderful images at only $30 BUT the author, Lynn Ogryzio, is also Italian. theontariotable.com U can also buy at The Fairmont Store who will send to U. 416.860.4572. Crystals

Dave when we went, we took Maple Syrup in those maple leaf bottles for our tour guides and drivers and they loved that.

Marco - "a hockey stick" It's Navelli: we found out about it from your friend http://www.intrecci.co.uk/Articles.asp?ID=254

Canadian Coins and money, I always like some sample of foreign currency. Coin shops should have some interesting stuff. Show them what a loonie is. The gold and silver coins are all "maple leaf" branded as well as date stamped, to mark the year of the occasion. You have a choice of values. A nice gift likely to be kept. well after food is gone.

You can get Maple Syrup in Italy imported from Canada or as I like to call it "liquid gold".. I'd say something from the Hudson's Bay company. Those stripes are distinctive, really nice and soooo Canadian. Or a well made Canadian flag, a hockey puck with your favourite team on it, a CD of Canadian songs, a team jersey, certain types of Colgate are 10€ a tube here, Chapstick isn't sold here (I know the last two are strange).. FYI watch out if you are travelling with liquor/ice wine bought at the airport (in Canada) when you have a connecting flight. Some bunk rule, that I've never heard of, got my gift of ice wine confiscated in Rome's airport.. You know they cracked those bottles open as soon as they took them from me. Who's heard of that rule?

Maple Syrup hands down particularly if you know the sugarbush it comes from. Lasts a long time if refrigerated, and is pretty tasty in or on just about anything. A chef would know what to do with it. It's likely not as reasonably priced there as it is here.

Now, now Pat Carter. Are you tossing in your pitchfork and torch? Lol

Maple butter (more bang for the buck, in terms of sweet to weight ratio). Smoked salmon from BC. Ice Wine from Niagara

A hand carved pepper mill http://www.peppermills.ca/ I've bought many love them!

Nirvana and Avani would be my top 2 that I've tried. There are a few buffets (not Tandoori Flame) that have been recommended to me but I've yet to try them.

I would recommend [Avani](http://www.avani.ca/) If you want take out [https://www.bombaytogo.ca/](https://www.bombaytogo.ca/)

Pakistani food is equally delicious. Try Silver Spoon in Heartland or Cafe de Khan on Millcreek

Lol at the person downvoting the pakistani recommendations.

If you want to try indian cuisine from western coastal belt of india then you can try 'Imli foods' (5359 Timberlea Blvd # 55, Mississauga, ON L4W 2R7 ).. Also if you want to try good biryani then you can try 'Student biryani' (1010 Dream Crest Rd Unit 13 & 14, Mississauga, ON L5V 3A4 )

I love Karahi Point!

Punjabi dhaba on airport is amazing!

If u want fine dining experience go for ‘ Maharaja’ on Eglinton/heritage hills. Pricey but excellent ambience and food.

Try Anjappar Chettinad! Pretty good food and spicy as well if you like spice

Veg or non veg? My fave non veg/non UP indian resto is saravana bhavan. UP food, maybe sanjeev kapoor’s kazana? Although I think that’s punjabi/up. Khazana is a bit pricey but tbeir 24 hour daal is certainly worth it. Punjabi food- I’m Pakistani so I’ll recommend a pakistani resto. Bbq tonite is Excellent. If you want fusion/trendy there’s Laari Adda which serves pakistani punjabi truck stop food plus fusion food (get the chaat, get the karak chai pls for the love of all that is holy skip the pizza naan and the chocolate naan)

There's a new place at Hurontario and Derry called Spice Culture, it was really good. I don't eat at a lot of Indian restaurants but my colleagues that do seemed to think it was pretty good too (Christmas lunch). The non veg was especially flavourful, but everything was good.

Definitely BBQ tonight on Dixie and eglinton. Try the Bihari kebab, lamb biriyani and chicken 65! Hands down best Indian food in gta

This is Pakistani food but it’s similar and amazing! BarBQ Tonite in Dixie, their butter naan and stuff is amazing and it’s really good price if you get there platter! Enough to feed 5, doesn’t look like a lot of food but it’s beyond filling! https://www.google.ca/search?q=barbq+tonite&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-ca&client=safari&dlnr=1&sei=SlEBXtPKJeexggeEiqfgBg#

Wow I never heard of The Farm Family Restaurant and just looked it up. I will have to check it out someday. Have a safe trip.

u can go to barnbuster.org or com and read all about it

http://ivybar.ca/ It's in Burlington, just west of Walkers Line on S. Service rd. Really nice dinner. Turned into a completely different scene later, though (mind you, we went on a Saturday).

Fonda Lola at Queen and Shaw is great. It's Mexican. ..great margaritas, AMAZING hand-held caesar salads, delicious features....I've never been disappointed with anything. The restaurant is casual but the food is amazing. Definitely have to make a reservation though!

Hanmoto - it is a japenese izayaka. It is different, casual and has delicious food (non seafood options too). Also most of the restuarants on Ossington are amazing. Foxley has tapas.. with a great many options so you can definitely avoid the fish and seafood. i have to agree with Hawker bar... it is a take on Singaporean/Malaysian food and they do it justice. Bang bang is right down the st for yummy ice cream sandwiches for dessert. Hope you guys have a great time! Take a look at this list. A few foodies have already mentioned some of the restuarants on here. :) http://www.torontolife.com/daily-dish/restaurants-dish/2015/03/20/best-new-toronto-restaurants-2015/slide/best-new-restaurants-2015-20/

If you haven't been to Franks Kitchen on College yet, put it on your list. One of the best in the city.

Cibo Bar on Portland is really good- great food and great service

Weslodge and Valdez on King W are both amazingggg

Arzu Ozkose the food was FANTASTIC...all home made stuff with olive oil. The waitresses were young turkish girl and apperently every first friday of a month there is life turkish music, bellydancer and turkish coffee cup reader

Pizzeria Defina on Roncesvalles! We live in the neighborhood and it's one of our favourites!

We live in Roncy. Barque and Hopgood's are fantastic, along with Hey Restaurant and The Westerly. And The Ace Diner is an amazing bar with great food.

Two words..Roller Derby.
