Restaurants and dining out
Back in September, I reviewed Scarpetta at the Thompson Hotel in Toronto and mentioned that I’d like to visit all five of the restaurants in North America. I had assumed that my second restaurant would be in New York, but instead, it became Las Vegas. Scarpett was the first restaurant I went to during my […]
When people think of the Danforth, they think Greek. However, there are a few non-Greek restaurants in the area such as Pizzeria Libretto, and, if you’re into something more relaxing and loungey, The Local Company (aka Local Co.). This restaurant, located just a few steps west of Pape station, has delicious menu that is influenced […]
Just came back from an extended weekend in Las Vegas, a trip I went with my husband and my parents. While we were there, we we tried many delicious restaurants (including two buffets), and I am now working on a post for a few of the places where we ate, ranging from buffets to sit-downs […]
I recently had the pleasure to speak with Elie, one of the owners of Toronto’s newest cookie, tea and froyo bar, The Red Bench, located on Yonge, south of Bloor. The name, The Red Bench, was inspired by an actual red bench near co-owner (and Elie’s wife) Deena’s home in Paris, France. According to Elie, […]

In addition to running her shop, Adjoa will continue to create delicious custom desserts, including wedding and other celebration cakes as well sweets […]
Thirteen Hayden Street in Toronto has pretty much lived up to its reputation as a number. Starting early last year, the spot has changed names three times, transforming from the take-out spot for Foccacia Restaurant to two different middle eastern take-out counters and then back to Foccacia. Then, early this year, it changed names once […]
I last wrote about DT Bistro almost three years ago, first about their brunch and then again, their prix fixe dinner. This restaurant, located on Harbord Road between Spadina and Bathurst, was actually where my husband and I got our wedding cake (after a very long search). A bit has changed since the last time […]
I have to admit that I love brunch. Whether it be fancy at a hotel or super-casual at a greasy diner, it’s almost always great. Recently, my husband and I stopped by MoRoCo Chocolat (Mo and Ro stand for Montana and Rory, children of the owners, and the “Co” is, of course, chocolate) in Toronto’s […]
Have you made your reservations yet? The usual suspects are back again this season with their prix fixe menus (doesn’t seem that anyone new was added. Isn’t it time to get some more new faces in?). Prices have not changed – they are still $15, $20 or $25 for lunch and $25, $35 and $45 […]
Ever had bok choy and tacos all in the same meal? Save for perhaps sharing meals at a mall food court, I would think not. Enter Sidedoor Contemporary Kitchen and Bar, located in Ottawa’s trendy Byward Market is a Pan Asian-Mexican fusion restaurant with a tapas based menu. On my last trip to Ottawa in […]
