There is so much more to Japanese food than just sushi but finding those other bits of Japanese cuisine can sometimes be a challenge. Imadake Isakaya offers Montrealers a taste of something they have been missing for quite some time.

Restaurant La Porte offers a contemporary take on classic French cuisine that's as inspired as its chef Thierry Rouyé. We sampled the tasting menu and every item was masterfully presented and decadent. We truly felt spoiled not just for being lucky…More »

Until I saw a Teambuy offer, I had never really noticed this restaurant; it is in the basement of a building that houses a few other business, so it is kind of hidden. And with the name, and the signage (a grapevine with a wineglass) I would have…More »

While hunting down a decent meal the other night, my boyfriend and I decided it was time we give fairly new restaurant in our area a try. 5 Saisons Sushi opened a little more than a year ago and we have often thought about eating there, however, on…More »

 5. Murray Street - Kitchen, Wine, Charcuterie

110 Murray St
Ottawa, ON K1N 5M6
(613) 562-7244
4.0 star rating
  12/1/2010

Murray Street Kitchen doesn't look much like a restaurant from the outside, well, at least not to me. In fact, I thought it was a butcher or deli from the street view and it was my friend who walked up to read the menu offerings. It was 4 PM and like…More »

Las Vegas, NV 89109
USA

Neighbourhood: The Strip

E is gastronomic theater. It's very ying-yang with its serious playfulness, its subtle flamboyancy and its down-to-earth sophistication. I couldn't have had a more wonderful intimate evening with 6 strangers.

We were visiting Las Vegas pretty much…More »

  Update - 4/3/2012

As if to prove the point of my first review, the menu tonight was full on decadent done right! At first, I was thinking, because I often order many of the same items here, that I wanted us to order several appetizers instead, sharing it all and…More »

    This place is not for the faint of heart. I don't come here to grab a bite, it is a place where I… Read more »

I love having breakfast at the Grand Cafe but I hate their coffee. Yuck! In any case, there is a Starbucks within a few seconds and they have never been offended by my bringing in my own cuppa.

Since I am trying to be a little healthier I decided to…More »
