Restaurants and dining out
I tried Delica Kitchen on Yonge and St. Clair, one of the growing number of gourmet “mid-food” (not “fast food,” but not “sit down service” either) eateries around Toronto. The philosophy of the restaurant, according to the website is “not to create trends” but to stick with things they find good. While the food isn’t […]
It started as an evening with the promise of three things: food, fun, and friends. How were we to predict the absolute beauty and hospitality offered by Enoteca Sociale? The simple, elegant menu we already knew; we had read it online. What we had no idea of, was the warm hospitality of the staff, the […]
The restaurant formerly known as Indochine has reopened after closing for renovations for four months with a new name, Star Anise Pan Asian Cuisine. This is a good change as it reflects what the restaurant serves – cuisine that represents several regions in Asia (mostly Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese), not just Vietnam. It’s also less […]
I usually don’t do restaurant reviews since beauty and style is more my thing but I do enjoy to eat and I recently found this great restaurant that I had to write about. The name of the restaurant is called 17 Steps – it’s in the basement and it takes 17 steps to get down […]
Hong Kong’s cha chaan tengs (which I first wrote about when this site was still called Prospere Magazine) are very unique, offering fare not typically found in a “normal” Chinese restaurant such as baked pork chops and rice with tomato sauce, creamed corn and chicken as well as drinks like Hong Kong tea (strong black […]
Walking into the Old Montreal location of Gibbys makes guests feel like they’ve gone back in time. Sticking with the vibe of the rest of the area, the restaurant, with its big iron gate and stone walls both inside and out, has a delicious menu filled with seafoods, steaks and other delicious delights. The restaurant […]
Last week I dined at Trattoria Mercatto at the Toronto Eaton Centre. It wasn’t my first trip to the new restaurant, but my third. However, it was the first time I had a full pizza there. There are several on the menu to choose from, about seven in total. The one I had this time […]
There’s been a lot of debate about whether young children belong in certain restaurants. One place in the US even went as far as banning all kids under the age of six. To me, it’s all about how well-exposed a child is to such settings, ranging from behaviour to food. The last thing you want […]
The space formerly known as Dynasty Chinese Cuisine has once again opened up, and this time, it spills not only to the upstairs patio, but the sidewalk as well. This wonderful new space is La Société Bistro, a French-inspired bistro/brasserie brought to you by so-called “nightclub king,” Charles Khabouth, known for such places as the […]
As a chef, I’m always excited by food festivals in the city. Food festivals are excellent exposure for local restaurants, cafes and bistros, and allow Torontonians the opportunity to explore all the culinary delights their city has to offer, at lower than usual prices. No food festival excites me more, or has greater popularity, than […]
