Category: Indian

Neighbourhood: Beverly Hills

5.0 star rating
  Update - 7/30/2010

I can't understand why I gave it a 4-star rating the last time.  The thing about Chakra is, as an Indian, I've literally never had such an authentic Indian experience.  Unlike other Indian restaurants that serve boring spicy dishes that gives people…More »

Been here several times.  Sunday brunch without champagne is not brunch!

Great little brunch menu - it's perfect!  Got to have the brilliant Eggs Benedict.  Also, has some interesting and healthy :-P omelettes.  

Also had the opportunity to have lunch.…More »

Quaint little restaurant on Gateway just a block or two away from the Strathcona farmers' market, the New York Bagel Cafe has the perfect match of ambience and fine food.  Among the various bagel-based breakfast, brunch and late lunch options, I…More »

Category: Coffee & Tea

5.0 star rating
  Update - 4/6/2011

I've become a regular at this Transcend over the last six months or so, so much so that a couple of the staff know that my favorite drink is the Flat White.  Of course, my morning cup still remains the clover coffee and I always spend a couple of…More »

Well - simply put... it's got great food at great prices.  The food is extremely fresh, from what I've experienced.  I've been to several expensive sushi places and can make out very little difference between those places and Furusato.  

I love the…More »

5.0 star rating
  10/17/2010

D'Lish is an elegant & modern wine & tapas bar that serves a unique menu.  Although tapas are originally a spanish idea, the theme of the menu shows phenomenal adaptation.  Unlike other modern loungey places that have a great décor and music serving…More »

Unique!  Can't wait to get back!  My mouth's watering, just writing this post!

Was visiting New Haven for a few days and made it a point to come here.  Really unique tomato pie pizza.  I haven't tried the white clam pizza, but I thoroughly enjoyed the…More »

Transcend opened nearly three weeks back and I feel rather disappointed that it's taken me so long to come down to the new location.  I was driving to physical therapy yesterday and stopped for some soup and coffee.  Is there really any point to me…More »

Queen of Tarts is so much more than just tarts.  A lovely bakery with french inspired breads, lots of treats, fancy small jars of jams, foie gras, local dried herbs etc. and of course delectable, pretty tarts.  The breads are really good here.  Try…More »

There's no point pretending that this isn't the best thing to happen to the Garneau neighborhood in a long time.  Three Boars is so well situated, with their patio opening to the gritty sounds of 109th street traffic and their entire establishment…More »
