The Loose Moose

The Loose Moose located at 146 Front St W in Toronto

There aren’t too many places on Front Street near Union Station which open very late at night so after we finally stumbled out of the underwater sea world at Ripley’s and were looking for a bite to eat, we ended up at The Loose Moose at around 11:30 p.m. on a Saturday.  The Loose Moose is a pub that serves the typical pub food with lots and lots of beer on tap and drinks to go around.   Continue reading

The WORKS Gourmet Burger Bistro located at 60 Wellington St E in Toronto

Before we ventured into the underwater sea world at Ripley’s, we went to The WORKS Gourmet Burger Bistro at St. Lawrence Market for some sustenance first.  I wasn’t particularly hungry so we decided to share a burger.  The WORKS Gourmet Burger Bistro is just one of several The WORKS burger joints in Ontario.  It was my first time here even though I have passed by this intersection of Front Street and Wellington numerous times.   Continue reading

Fune Japanese Restaurant

Fune Japanese Restaurant located at 100 Simcoe St in Toronto

This was definitely the most fun I’ve had in a sushi restaurant in recent memory!  Fune Japanese Restaurant is currently the only Japanese restaurant in Toronto that offers “conveyor belt” sushi.  What’s more, their conveyor belt sushi is even more unique than the regular ones on a track because these were boats of sushi floating on water around a sushi bar! 😀   Continue reading
