I’ve always been really curious about Fresh’s small chain of restaurants since they’re always packed whenever I walk by them. So, what has been holding me back all these years? Fresh serves up vegetarian and vegan food… and I love meat!
It was around two in the afternoon when Chris, Jo and I were trying to decide what to have for lunch. It was negative sixteen degrees with wind chill, so when Jo suggested pho, we all agreed it was a great choice. We ended up at Pho Pasteur, one of their favourite pho spots.
If you’re looking to get a Saturday night reservation at Ici Bistro, you better plan for it a month in advance! I initially wanted to try this restaurant for Mike’s birthday and tried calling three weeks in advance for a Saturday night. No luck. That’s when we ended up at Scarpetta instead (no regrets though, as we had a great time).
When my mom came to visit from Vancouver one weekend, I had to take her out for brunch – my favourite meal of the day! Given that there are so many great brunch options in the Toronto, I had a hard time narrowing it down. Since I’ve been hearing great things about the brunch at L’Ouvrier lately, I decided to take her there.
Ematei had been on my list for a while now after a few people had recommended it to me. The restaurant is tucked away on St. Patrick street, just off of Queen, near University Ave.
