I’m a fake critic. Third party claims. And by third parties, I mean friends. And by fake critic, I mean they claim I love everything I eat. Until tonight. Tonight, I “finally” experienced disappointment. Sushi Inn. Yorkville. Yes, deliberate insertion. Who assumed it would be fantastic (or at least half-decent) merely based on location? I DID. Shame [...]

Crêperie La Bréhandaise

N & I were searching for the greatest little patio over the long weekend. Timely, this post is not. Pls forgive, life has been a bit of a whirlwind! Anyway, we were about to brunch. Our favourite activity :) Queen W. was our neighbourhood for the day, and two places immediately came to mind: Saving [...]
Harlem

Fried chicken & waffles. Most unusual combination. Or not ;) It was one of those days. And Harlem was just the place for a little soul food. A classic Southern gluttonous experience of finger-licking good. You’ve never seen a table so excited to scan a menu. Scan it we did…over and over again. Appetizers: catfish [...]
Union

Last dining experience? 24 days ago. Don’t ask how I remember… it’s disturbing, I know. After a glorious 6-week binge (there’s no other word), wallet cried mercy. And so, it ceased. Regretfully. But we’re back! And what better restaurant to try than Union? On the list for months & much-anticipated… with no tastebuds. Ok, slight exaggeration, but how does [...]
Tutti Matti

It’s becoming a bit of a tradition at O - birthday lunches at Tutti Matti. And we were back, celebrating our lovely M last Friday. Getting nine people out the door, at the same time, on time, for a reservation – a feat in itself. Best part, the restaurant is next door (literally). And, bless them – we’re [...]
Politica

Last last Friday eve (timely, this post is not), we had a much-anticipated ladies night. Why? Because it had taken us months to get together. And 5 out of 7 live in the city. For shame. Restaurant chosen? After much debate, Politica. Located inconspicuously between Queen West & Libery Village, tucked away on Strachan, it was [...]
Torito

Sharing good food with friends. The best. Sharing good food with a friend you haven’t seen in 3.5 years…even better. But of course, not completely out of touch. Impossible not to know a snippet of their life, if that news feed algorithm or semi-stalking works as it should. Wait. The algorithm, not the stalking. Anyway, instead of the “i [...]
Bonjour Brioche

The things we do for food. Including wait outside in -18C weather. Yep, that’s right. Hesitated for half a second. But, N & I are like-minded…and stubborn as anything. And her reaction to the french toast…EPIC. Worth it. If only we had a video camera, I’d replay over & over again. Warmed my frozen little toes right up. [...]
Cava

O & K’s mantra of the night – “Don’t be deceived. We’ll eat our weight’s worth…and more.” Forget the set-up, no time to mince words. It’s late & won’t be able to sleep until posted. Remember? Save draft mode doesn’t exist. Must share experience now…and plus, body is still recovering from the onslaught it just [...]
