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.). This restaurant, located just a few steps west of Pape station, has delicious menu that is influenced […]
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 […]
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. All photos can be […]
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 […]
The Lunar New Year is almost upon us. In fact, the year of the snake starts this coming Sunday. New Year foods can vary from region to region and from household to household. There is jai, of course, eaten on the first day (and of which I discussed in further detail last year). One thing […]
I last wrote about DT Bistro almost three years ago, first about their brunch and then again, their prix fixe dinner. This restaurant, located on Harbord Road between Spadina and Bathurst, was actually where my husband and I got our wedding cake (after a very long search). A bit has changed since the last time […]
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 […]
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 […]
Recently, I was able to speak with Phil Lempert of Supermarket Guru to discuss food trends that he has observed so far and what he sees this upcoming year. What he told me was, for the most part, not much of a surprise. Millennials are foodies and really care about ingredients. Unlike other generations, they […]
Last week, I was invited to a delicious luncheon at The Chef Upstairs in the Eglinton and Mount Pleasant area of Toronto. This event was hosted by tasteUS, an organization that works with American-based cooperators to bring foods north of the border to Canada. While eating local is, of course, preferable by many, there are […]
