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 […]
Though Toronto doesn’t necessarily get all that snowy in the winter, thanks to below freezing or borderline freezing temperatures, snow the ground is often extremely wet. And as a frequent walker and transit-taker, even during the weekend, a wet walkway, especially when there are snowbanks, can dirty the hems of pants. Thus, for me, anyway, […]
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 […]

Red definitely ruled the Golden Globes in 2013. Red-donning celebrities included winners Jennifer Lawrence, who wore Dior and Claire Danes (in Versace) as well as presenter, Jennifer Garner. Others in red included Marion Cotillard and Zooey Deschanel (whose dress is one of our favourites). Co-host Amy Poehler also spent the first part of the show […]
Earlier this week, DelectablyChic! marked five years online. Well, it isn’t exactly five years as we published under another name – Prospere Magazine – between January 2008 and September 2010. The purpose when we launched was to have an online publication (marketed at that time as a “blogzine”) for smart, sophisticated women – a site […]
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 […]
Finally, a luxury line has arrived for petite women 5’5″ and below. The 16th Bar, led by 4’11” designer Frankie Ortiz, presented its debut collection in Los Angeles late last year.
