Restaurants and dining out
I can’t believe it took me over one year to have a proper meal at Osteria dei Ganzi, a restaurant on Jarvis Street, near the National Ballet School. The last time I went there was for its media launch in June of 2013, where we had the chance to taste several of their offerings, including […]
Colette Grand Café, a French-inspired cafe and restaurant at the Thompson Hotel (550 Wellington Street West), held a media preview the day before its grand opening. Located at the former home of Scarpetta, this restaurant offers both a grab-and-go bakery and a sit-down restaurant. At the media event, attendees were given the opportunity to taste […]
There have been several restaurants located at 137 Avenue Road, located just a bit north of Bloor with various different types of cuisines, including Indian and Italian. In fact, I had reviewed the Indian restaurant once when this site was still known as Prospere Magazine. Sadly, it closed shortly after the article was published. Then […]
As most people in Toronto know, Summerlicious starts this Friday. Again, some 200 restaurants will be participating in this twice yearly affair where people get to dine on a three course meal of $15, $20 or $25 for lunch or $25, $35 or $45 for dinner. However, what I’ve always wondered was how restaurant decide […]
I’ve lived within walking distance from By the Way Café for a decade, but have never tried the restaurant. This Mediterranean-influenced eatery serves a delicious brunch on the weekends, offering items that might not be seen in many other restaurants in the city. The restaurant is not large, though with a patio, the number of […]
It’s patio season! Bier Markt has launched its delicious summer menu and DelectablyChic! is helping them celebrate by giving away a $75 gift card! The new menu, which includes succulent dishes like heirloom carrots and sugar snap peas (shaved heirloom carrots, sugar snap peas, hydro bibb lettuce, corn shoots, honey sunflower brittle, crisp spiced chickpeas, […]
So after more than a year of opening in Toronto, I’ve finally made my way to Daishō, the Momofuku restaurant located on the third floor of the complex (I went to the Noodle Bar for lunch a couple of months ago) next to the Shangri-La Hotel. For those who are unfamiliar, Daishō’s meals are meant […]
Picnic, the new grab and go that took over the old Carlton Cards spot at the Holt Renfrew Centre opened a couple of months ago and I’ve been meaning to write about it since. I’ve eaten there several times since its launch in February and have noticed much improvement in terms of selection. Half sandwiches […]
Recently, I had the opportunity to attend a media dinner at Milagro Cantinas on Mercer, one of three locations in the city. The dinner, which included tastings of several “authentic” dishes on the menu was courtesy of foodie PR company, Butter PR. I have been to Milagro several times in the past, mostly to its […]
Recently, my husband and I went for a maple syrup tasting. Not the kind one has on a field trip to, say, Kortright Centre, in elementary school, but a proper, sit down tasting menu where every course had at least a touch. The dinner was held at Reds Wine Tavern, located in the financial district […]
