Ginger Beef – the local takeout franchise actually has a location dedicated to dim sum in Harvest Hills….and it’s good. So good that despite residing in the burbs, it was packed on a Tuesday at lunch. I love the fact that the restaurant is exceptionally clean and open – so open in fact, that you…

Peter’s Drive In
Peter’s Drive In – an establishment known for it’s greasy burgers & combo flavoured milkshakes. A personal fave: coconut – marshmallow. It brings out the kid in me! Beware – ordering too many items off their menu in one sitting may lead to a food coma. Been there, done that. Expect long lines on hot…
Chennai Spice – Dosa Festival
II am a HUGE fan of dosa – but had no idea there could be SO MANY VARIETIES! I was truly excited to hear that Chennai Spice was hosting a weeklong dosa festival. I took my friends, family and may have visited 3 times during that week. Traditional dosa is a vegetarian’s dream – a…
Crunchy – KFC NW
Conundrum: Default to Kentucky Fried Chicken, or try Crunchy, a Korean Fried Chicken restaurant. Odd that these are literally steps away from each other! Made fresh to order – the box I was given was huge (12pcs for ~ $24), crispy batter with tender chicken pieces and a side of fries. They had interesting flavours…
Pampa Brazilian Steakhouse
This is a perfect fancy date venue – though maybe not a first date as you will be eating A LOT….so don’t be shy! I fasted all day in anticipation of this! ha ha. It is fun and interactive as servers come by with numerous cuts of meat and carve directly onto your plate. Surprisingly,…
Mina’s Brazilian Steakhouse
Wow was the steak good. Kale salad with pickled pink bits was a crisp light start. Love the ambience and best of all the staff – as they were incredibly accommodating of my food restrictions and super friendly! Kinda want to go back just to buy their in house hot sauce and to try regular…
Seniore’s Pizza
Mid-week pizza is always such a treat. Navigating through the thralls of pizza joints in the city – particularly the burbs for a good spot is always a challenge. Look no further as Seniore’s – with a loyal patron base, serves up delicious pies to the NW. We enjoyed their special as well as the…
Olly’s Shawarma Counter
My co-worker swears by the shawarma here – I believe it is run by a separate business only over the lunch hour, and possibly only certain days of the week. Line up early as they sell out just about every time! I had the beef donair and was possibly the best I’ve tried. An awesome…
