Back in September, I reviewed Scarpetta at the Thompson Hotel in Toronto and mentioned that I’d like to visit all five of the restaurants in North America. I had assumed that my second restaurant would be in New York, but instead, it became Las Vegas. Scarpett was the first restaurant I went to during my […]
When people think of the Danforth, they think Greek. However, there are a few non-Greek restaurants in the area such as Pizzeria Libretto, and, if you’re into something more relaxing and loungey, The Local Company (aka Local Co.).

Just came back from an extended weekend in Las Vegas, a trip I went with my husband and my parents. While we were there, we we tried many delicious restaurants (including two buffets), and I am now working on a post for a few of the places where we ate, ranging from buffets to sit-downs […]

The name, The Red Bench, was inspired by an actual red bench near co-owner (and Elie’s wife) Deena’s home in Paris, France. According to Elie, […]

The program has spread to other countries in the world, including the UK, the United States and New Zealand. This year, Canada joins […]

A new foodie app has landed on iOS. Toronto-based FoodShootr, launched only on February 11, features not only a built-in camera, but also filters (like Instagram), allows phonographers to snap, edit and share not only delicious pictures they’re dining on at a restaurant, but also home creations and take-out as well.

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 […]
