Free wifi and excellent teasThis place is not only a great cafe to hang out at all day but it also has wifi for free to its customers. The speed is fast and the tea selection quite amazing.

Reasonable fast Caribbean food in TorontoRight on the high street is this simple fast food place called Ritz. It turns out to be a very good caribbean place. The food is fast but reasonably priced and good tasting.

Chearp and Good Dim SumDim sum at its best. You will need to get there very early to beat the crowd. The food is good but space at a premium

Brunch with WirelessGreat little place on the corner of the a small round about. The food is good and choice excellent, but whats better is the amount of wireless points in the local area. I counted a total of 20 with about 5 open for general use. If your lucky enough to be staying at the Lux Hotel, you will find the wireless stretches across to the cafe. And theres little better that Paris on a Sunday with Brunch and Wireless.

Lovely ThaiExcellent little place with a cafe feeling instead of a restaurant. Food is lovely and different from the usual Thai menus.

Its tight for space but it certainly adds to the romantic setting of candle lights and low ceilings.

Group meal for eightGreat place which you can't book only queue up for. Food is great quality and at a good price.
Its a mix of Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese food which smell great and is better for sharing across the table with many people.

This is not the kind of place you go for a quiet dinner with your partner. Its a lively atmosphere and which seats up to 16 people around a communal table.

Crown and Anchor during the weekPrime location just past covert garden and neal street. Like the polar bear, it doesn't attract many tourist. The venue is quite small downstairs and upstairs but nice and cozy for a quick and quiet drink in Central London. Food is ok but drink prices are very reasonable for covert garden.
