So we were throwing a party for about 40ppl, and I did not want to cook. A good co-worker of mine recommended this caterer (and takeout) business in the NE. I met with the head chef G. and he accommodated all of our needs – e.g. mild seasoning, timing, and sizing of our order. Everything…

Juree’s Thai – NW
My boss actually was the one to recommend this restaurant – Popular for both take out and dine in, this is a unique restaurant with thai decor (from the window shutters to the plateware) – making for a fun escape within the city. Staff were incredibly friendly. The red curry dish with beef is one of my…
Joey Tomato’s – Crowfoot
I honestly prefer Joey Tomato’s to Earls, their menu (to me anyways) is more exciting. Today the theme was tuna! We ordered the tuna tacos, and a tuna sandwich. The tuna in the tacos was a nice rare (sashimi-like) consistency, with crunchy warm fried tacos and black sesame seasoning and was made even better as…
Speakeasy – SubRosa
Hidden beneath the old Bay location at 8th ave & 1st St, it definitely has an exciting entrance, getting ushered through hallways, doors and elevators. The actual bar itself is quite swanky. The drinks can be on the high end – so just go in with that expectation, a friend ordered a $50 drink by…
Ginger Beef – Dim Sum Cravings
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…
