The-Dish-Power-Rankings

Momofuku Milk Bar comes to Toronto; Twitter’s favourite teen idol shows up at a pool party; and a British hunk goes for brunch.

1. Cabana Pool Bar (↑5)
Justin Bieber and Deadmau5 got their day-drink on at the city’s hottest spot for showing some skin. Deadmau5 kept his shirt on. The Biebs did not.

2. Momofuku Milk Bar (new this week)
Momofuku brought its bake shop to Toronto. Cue Twitter riot over the insanely popular $48 crack pies.

4. Bar Isabel (↑1)
In his latest column, our critic gave Grant van Gameren’s aggressively hipster Spanish restaurant a solid three stars.

5. Playa Cabana Hacienda (new this week)
Just like the original Playa Cabana down the street and Cantina in the Junction, Hacienda is packed. Only three tables are open until next Tuesday.

6. La Carnita (↑3)
The city’s appetite for tacos seems insatiable. Even with three Playa Cabana franchises, the College Street spot is still pulling hour-long lineups on the weekend.

Honourable Mentions
Shinan Govani spotted socialite Stacey Jordan (formerly Kimmel) heaping all kinds of fancy fixings on a custom ice cream bar at The Magnum Pleasure Store. Though the initial hullabaloo around Clafouti’s Orea-stuffed Cronut knockoff is over, some media outlets are still discovering the Crookie for the first time.

Dropped off the list: Amber, Bellwood’s Brewery, Le Dolci, Pusateri’s and The Drake Hotel
