Cynthia’s Restaurant List Review: Combine Eatery
Last Friday, I posted a(n on-going) list of restaurants in the city that I would like to try (or return to for a different meal).

People who follow me/DelectablyChic! on Instagram and Twitter know that I eat out a lot. I have my regular spots (especially for brunch) and also try new places. And in Toronto, there are plenty of places to try. I can’t even keep up! So I’ve decided to come up with a list. Some of the […]

Located at the former home of the Cumberland Theatre, the shop and café (called the Nespresso […]

Taste of Richtree: Too Crowded, Too Confusing
When I saw the marketing information about the new Richtree Market at the Eaton Centre, I was excited to visit.
