I cannot believe there are not more reviews for J Sheekey, simply the finest seafood restaurant in the known universe.
As a Japanese person who despises sushi, (seriously I hate it, raw fish= ugh!) seafood itself is always a stretch when it comes to…More »
Being a sucker for modern architecture and clean lines I was drawn in to Soontorn Bahn Thai by its magnificent facade while promenading on the Lakeshore. Hubby excitedly pushed its huge wooden revolving door open and once we spilled inside it was…More »
As I've previously stated, La Bamboche produces in my opinion the most delectable macarons that a Torontonian could ever desire to O.D. on, but did you know that La Bamboche is also a place that provides oral pleasure...let me explain! I work close…More »

Take your average hot-blooded, MMA watching, bacon ravening meat-a-tarian ( in this case my husband) and they'll be mighty impressed by the exceptional food here. You see The Hogtown Vegan have taken staple carnivore faves like wings, burgers,…More »

Oh Parlour you made my visit to London so much sweeter!
Who wouldn't be giddy upon entering a place ensconced in pastel pink tiled splendour. It makes me feel like I'm having a grown-up version of a tea party - sans dolls at a 1950's soda joint.

The hubby found this superb steakhouse by accident while on a jaunt to find haberdashers on Savile Row. Must say he did good as the steak here was gorgeous, and I'm not a usual fan of the Red Meats, but admittedly was one of the best steak meals…More »

Alright, so every veritable girly-girl who claims the movie Marie Antoinette or French Bulldogs as they're fave things will go ape-shit bananas over this place and rightfully so. How can you not love a place with a chocolate fountain and velvet…More »
It's purely about the cheap yet delicious food at Congee Queen where they serve up all manner of congee (stew-y rice) and countless other mouth watering Chinese culinary hits in abundant proportions.

I randomly picked up treats from the LPK stand at the Leslieville Farmer's market as they were pretty much the only baked goodies vendor there. I was also drawn to the fact that they offered a fair selection of vegan/…More »
I usually try to steer away from eateries where
a) The decor is underwhelming if not lacking in aesthetics altogether b) you're subject to servers randomly breaking out in song plus clapping to "celebrate" some poor sap's birthday c) the dessert…More »

When Globe Bistro first opened, I really tried to force my self to dislike it as Globe usurped what was once my beloved Cafe Brussels, home of a myriad of mollusk delights.

Located next to the Pilot on Cumberland street, Rawlicious is an adorably cozy little resto that also offers its raw foods to go.
Admittedly this in my first raw take-out meal I've ever ordered, but boy was it good.
