Yes to Fresh, a not-so-fast food place on King and Jarvis is a mix between Freshii and Sandwich Box. The menu features sandwiches, salads as well as rice or noodle bowls and diners can pick what they want with their meal via a slip of paper on a clipboard, similar to Freshii (unlike Freshii, there […]
We first visited this restaurant over two years ago when the site was still called Prospere Magazine. Things haven’t changed much – meals are still ordered from a slip (similar to those seen at dim sum restaurants), with a huge range of soup noodles (both rice and wheat based, beef, chicken and vegetarian choices as […]
Eataly is perhaps one of the most interesting foodie spots in New York. Part market and part restaurant, this 50,000 square foot space, it is the American location of a space of the same name located in Torino, Italy. The New York location has several sit down dining spaces, each specializing in a different type […]
In a private party on Monday evening, invited guests were able to try dishes from a proposed menu from Yonge and Wellesley area restaurant Brownstone Bistro, which recently underwent renovations (including an appearance on Restaurant Makeover). Served cocktail style, ten proposed dishes, many of them enhanced versions of what is on their current menu were […]
I recently had dinner at Five Doors North, located on Yonge, just south of Eglinton. I’ve known about this Italian-inspired eatery before – after all, it’s been around for several years – but only went there for the first time this past weekend. Light fixtures on the ceiling Romaine leaves with garlic crostini and Caesar […]
Media and foodies were invited to a delicious event at Blowfish Restaurant and Sake Bar‘s second location on Bay Street last night to celebrate its first anniversary. Like the King and Bathurst restaurant which opened nine years ago, the location is a fusion of traditional and modern as well as east and west, with its […]
This little delight of a restaurant opened just over a year ago just a stone’s throw from brunch favourite, County General. Owned by Nice-born Jean-Pierre Boué and Nadia Moalic, Lafayette Bistro offers a delicious petite menu with classic French fare such as boeuf bourguinion, foie gras and several selections of fish. This is a place to […]
Grilled cheese is one of my weaknesses. It’s so good on a cold winter day, especially when accompanied with tomato soup. Imagine my excitement when I received an invitation via Twitter to sample some items from Say Cheese, a new grilled cheese bar on Bloor, just west of St. George. Located at what used to […]
Pacific Place is pure luxury. Stores include Loewe, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Chanel, Harvey Nichols and of course, the famous Lane Crawford, Hong Kong’s equivalent to Bergdorf Goodman. The Pacific Place location of Lane Crawford, however, will be shutting down in the new year. Burberry will eventually be taking over part of the location, but there’s […]
Hong Kong offers many amazing, top-tier restaurants as well as other, more affordable eateries of all types, not just Chinese food (as a Torontonian, I consider myself very spoiled when it comes to authentic Chinese cuisine. To the point that I can’t name any Canadian-Chinese style eateries that serve egg rolls and crunchy “noodles” that […]
