The main course ingredients on this episode were candy powder dipping sticks, halibut, sweet peas and baby turnips, and thus, the first thing that came to my head was, well, fish and chips (okay, so the baby turnip “chips” will look more like turnip hash browns, but still!). The candy powder can easily be mixed […]
Those of you who work in Toronto’s financial district are in luck. Bakery/café and SoHo favourite, Maman has opened north of the border and features delectable southern French treats. DelectablyChic! had the opportunity to attend media event on Bastille Day where we had the opportunity to sample cocktails and some of the treats, both savoury […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I recently had lunch at MBCo, a gourmet quick bite restaurant in Yorkville. I hadn’t been there in several months and even longer for anything more than coffee. The place has changed a great deal. I recall having lunch there when it first opened and sandwiches were always served with a small side salad. Not […]
I tried Delica Kitchen on Yonge and St. Clair, one of the growing number of gourmet “mid-food” (not “fast food,” but not “sit down service” either) eateries around Toronto. The philosophy of the restaurant, according to the website is “not to create trends” but to stick with things they find good. While the food isn’t […]
At Porchetta & Co., you only have two choices: A slow-roast pork sandwich or a slow-roast pork plate (called the Porchetta Sandwich and Porchetta Plate, respectively). There are, however, many different sauces and accompaniments to choose from. From cheeses to mushrooms to braised rapini, these can be used as toppings (sauces and toppings range between $0.25 […]
