Malls are the Place for Luxury Brands?

A recent post from CCP Luxury noted that luxury brands are more likely to launch in malls than on “high streets” here in Canada.  But it wasn’t always this way.  Usually, people expect that such stores go to, say, Bloor Street in Toronto or Robson Street in Vancouver.  However, over the past few years, many […]

Pop-Up Farmer’s Market at Club Monaco Yorkville

Well, not exactly a “farmer’s market” in the sense of Brickworks, but definitely delicious treats and more!  The pop-up will be outside the Club Monaco flagship store on Bloor and Avenue Road from now until mid-fall, according to the press release.  Vendors are P&L, Boxcar Social, Sweet Woodruff, Philip’s Ice Pops and The Bake Shoppe.

Freekeh Out Over a New Salad at Aroma!

From delicious breakfast items like shakshuka (I had my first there!) to soups (always comes with delicious baked-in-store bread), sandwiches and salads to their wide range of caffeinated drinks and pastries, Aroma Espresso Bar is one of my favourite places to grab brunch or lunch.  In fact, this Israeli-based eatery is popping up all over […]

Dining at Diwan Restaurant in Toronto’s Aga Khan Museum

Diwan Restaurant, the 85-seat dining room at the architecturally-stunning Aga Khan Museum is located near the not-so-convenient Don Valley parkway. There aren’t many other sit-down restaurants in the vicinity, which is largely known for its big box outlets. So it would be fair to say that Diwan has a captive audience of museum goers around […]

Long Weekend Traditions: Monday Brunch and Cupcakes

My husband and I have a tradition each holiday weekend.  We have brunch at one particular restaurant.  It’s not exactly a fancy place – in fact, it’s a small chain of breakfast joints called Eggspectation.  And with the exception of the few months the Toronto location moved and was renovating its new spot, we’ve been […]
