REVIEW | Light Cafe

We find Baldwin Village to be a street in Toronto that is ever growing. You'll never know what to expect in terms of businesses that will pop up! Not to mention it's diverse food culture including gelato, ramen, Italian, Filipino food and so much more. It doesn't surprise us at all that Light Cafe decided to take residence on Baldwin. 

REVIEW | DEQ at the Ritz Carlton - afternoon tea with beautiful presentation & delightful treats

After a long & busy week, all I want to do is indulge in yummy food, whether it be savoury or sweet.  What better way to satisfy both those cravings than an afternoon tea filled with scones, tarts, sandwiches and some mindless chitchat?

This past Saturday (a rainy & gloomy one at that), I headed over to DEQ at the Ritz Carlton in Toronto with one of my friends for an afternoon of pure culinary indulgence.

REVIEW | Hannah's Kitchen - old fashioned comfort food at it's finest

This gem of a place is a popular go-to at lunch time for those working in the Yonge & Eglinton area.  With fresh & delicious daily specials to entice anyone's taste buds, it's no surprise Hannah's Kitchen has been Midtown's favourite since 1990. 

REVIEW | Banh Mi Boys - great size, great taste & great price Vietnamese sub sandwiches in Toronto

This little shop, famous for its Vietnamese Sub Sandwiches, also called Banh Mi has been making waves in Toronto since it opened its first store in 2011.  Their menu is simple with three different items - Banh Mi, Steamed Baos and Tacos with various ingredients.

REVIEW | 3 Brewers - Oakville's newest addition!

 Oakville recently got a new restaurant called The 3 Brewers  in the Winston Park plaza. It's a great location because the theater is there so it's perfect for date night! They also have a location downtown at Yonge and Dundas.

JOEY Yorkdale - delicious cocktails & beers paired with diverse menu items are sure to impress!

WOW it's been such a long time since our last post.  We will try our best to keep the blogging momentum going again :)  During the break, we both got to visit lots of restaurant and also cook & bake that we're excited to share with you.  

We'll start with Monica's visit to the new JOEY Restaurant that opened at Yorkdale Mall (Toronto):

Messini Authentic Gyros - Grand Opening at Yonge & Eglinton

Messini Authentic Gyros had their grand opening for their Yonge & Eglinton location on Monday after the long anticipation.  To celebrate the grand opening, they were giving away free gyro's to the public!  

When we got there for lunch, there was already a line formed outside the restaurant (yikes).

Stoney's Bread Company - you gotta eat here!

My friend has been telling me about Stoney's Bread Company, which was featured on Canada's You Gotta Eat Here! We finally decided to go this past weekend and it's definitely worthy of being featured on a food network show!

Say Cheese - best gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches

For lunch, we made a visit to get some grilled cheese sandwiches at Say Cheese Toronto, a cozy retro-diner style shop in the Annex.  It's super easy to get to as it's right on Bloor street, just a few minute walk from St. George subway station.

From reading up on reviews online, we were pretty excited to try these sandwiches as grilled cheese is one of our favourites!
