Several writers contribute to this restaurant and food blog which covers more than just Toronto.

They don't write restaurant reviews, instead they share entertaining stories about going to restaurants.

EGullet Society for Culinary Arts and Letters

Food and restaurant discussion board.

Martini Boys

Geared more toward bars and pubs they nevertheless offer great coverage and fairly succinct reviews.

Now Magazine

Although coverage is biased toward Queen West and more affordable restaurants ("restos "as they call them) NOW provides fairly good reviews. Be warned the "hip" writing can grate.

Toronto.com

Mostly Toronto Star reviews but a good portal to the city.

TorontoBrunch.com

While primarily covering brunch spots, they also review other restaurants.

Toronto Life

Reviewers are not anonymous and receive the best treatment a restaurant can offer. In other words, you'll never experience what they write about. However they do have broad coverage of restaurants, especially the ones to visit on an expense account.

Zagat Surveys

Zagat surveys thousands of diners across North America for their restaurant ratings. Using a 30 point scale covering food, decor, service and cost, they correlate the findings for their publication.
