It was Shrove Tuesday earlier this week, a day where many people eat crepes or pancakes. Though in North America, we tend to think of pancakes as a breakfast food, there’s no rule saying that one can’t make them savoury, and therefore a good side for lunch or dinner. I decided last minute to make […]
Hosted by LOFT Girls/Hip Urban Girl and store staff, a brunch shopping party was held at LOFT Yorkdale on February 24. The event was not that atypical of similar shopping parties, save for brunch food (granola, fruit and yogurt in shot glasses, banana and Nutella sandwiches, etc…) and the lack of a make-up or manicure […]
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 […]
While the days of the dial up modem and AOL are now long gone, to many social media obsessed, the late 90s movie, You’ve Got Mail! is seen as the very first movie about online life. Though it seems that Starbucks was the major “star” when it came to real places (side note: one thing […]
The casual summer dress is pretty much a uniform for many women rather than the standard t-shirt, capris (or shorts) and sandals. It’s something that can be dressed up or down with accessories and shoes, making it very versatile, whether you’re going grocery shopping, going out for brunch or a dinner date with your significant […]
My husband and I took my parents to a delicious brunch on Mother’s Day at the club where I play tennis and I think we all ate way, way too much (there was just so much food, including poached salmon, tons of salads, a carving station and the most delicious dessert table). I usually […]
One of my favourite Yonge and Bloor area restaurants is Wish Restaurant on Charles, just east of Yonge. Known for a while as The Black Skirt, Wish offers delicious lunch and dinner choices as well as a weekend brunch and is definitely a place to go if you want to get away from the hustle […]
OK, so no Easter Bonnet. I don’t even wear hats very much (other than wool ones you wear in the winter), but for Easter, my husband and I decided to head over to a local hotel for a delicious buffet brunch. It wasn’t a fancy place – just a regular, run-of-the-mill hotel chain about a […]
Gourmet quick bite restaurants are popping up all over the city, but few are anything like SLICED Gourmet, which recently opened on Bay and Elm. This restaurant, with its rustic interior, features both packaged, ready-to-eat sandwiches as well as the standard pressed with delicious fillings such as fig and prosciutto, a delicous-sounding Nutella-based sandwich called […]
