Vietnam Restaurant. To start, they make some of the best spring rolls on the planet! So you're into anything Vietnamese food, this is a must-try! This little restaurant is located on Dundas Street near the Factory (now an huge entertainment site) which was formerly the Kelloggs Factory.
Joe Kool's is your home away from home. This is everyone's spot! The food that they have there, is completely ran as they are your best friends house and you are there to visit. This is a top place to visit in London as it feels like home. If you want to watch some sport games or attend the big game on TV, this also the hang out place for that as well. The kitchen sink pizza is a really popular dish, and if you're into that, they make a great sink!

This is a restaurant with its own wood-fired pizza oven, on-site brewery and retail store. This restaurant serves up a variety of food from your classic snacks, to gluten friendly food done in the 519 kitchen, to light and dark beers made right on-site/local.
Pizza Projekt / Zen'Za Pizza: These two spots are really good spots to try some amazing classic and deep dish pizzas. These don't feel like restaurants, these feel like home just like all the other top restaurants recommended are. If you're into the pizza pie, also check out these two places. Pizza Projekt is near Fleetway bowling alley and the other one Zen'Za Pizza is located downtown on King St. If you're looking for to Brooklyn style pizza, you have to try through thick and thin located in Old South of London. They are chefs who have travelled all over the world and care about the consumer experience.
Tahinis: they make great shawarmas and bowls. They also really care about the product and deliver integrity throughout their family run business. If you haven't checked them out on social media and you're looking to do social media relating to food - go check them out, they provide a really good example on how that is done!
Fine dining: The Tasting Room is a special place and is an amazing fine dining restaurant on Richmond Row next door to the Grand Theater, little hint: their rib eye is to die for!! If you want amazing Italian food, Abruzzi on King Street is also a good place for top shelf, close to Budweiser Garden, the pasta/gnocchi is unbelievable, Kraft Pharmacy on Wharncliffe Road is a great lunch spot and a place to hang out with friends or for work-related needs.
Everyone of these local businesses care about the food that they put on their plate, awesome awesome people and they genuinely care about the local community.
