Two weeks ago we made a visit to Yorkville, one of my favourite shopping areas in Toronto. Though we weren’t exactly in Yorkville to shop this time, we did up at Paramount Fine Foods to check out their new exciting menu items! Paramount Find Foods (Facebook: Paramount Fine Foods / Instagram: ParamountFineFoodsOfficial / Twitter: @ParamountFoods) is the fastest growing Middle Eastern restaurant in North America. The company sources only the freshest products for its authentic recipes. I’ve actually visited the Yorkville location for their grand opening last year around the same time and had a lovely meal so I was quite excited to be back again! Paramount Special Layers of fresh strawberry and mango juices with mixed fruits,…
Last month I indulged in one of the best brunches I’ve ever had in a very long time. I’ve been to La Societe (Instagram: LaSocieteTO / Twitter: LaSocieteTO) in Yorkville for dinner several times but never for brunch. Honestly, their brunch menu is a whole other level! The experience was quite lovely – we visited them on a Saturday afternoon, weather was amazing – of course we opted to sit on the patio. I also want to mention that I’ve never come across a restaurant (before La Societe) that has its own separate “Eggs Benny” Section on a Brunch menu – I was quite amazed. Keep scrolling down =) Mimosa ($15.00) We arrived 30 mins before our…
I’m going to confess right off the bat that I’ve only ever afternoon-tea a handful of times and to be exact – this afternoon tea experience at MoRoCo Chocolat (@MoRoCoChocolat) would be my third time ever! It’s not that I don’t enjoy to afternoon tea, generally speaking, (it is quite relaxing after all) but I personally like to indulge in heavy meals – 3 times a day. And so afternoon tea probably leans on the lighter side for me – which is why I don’t usually suggest to go in the first place unless someone initiates! Anywho (getting off topic), a few weeks ago, I thought it would be a great idea to bring my mom (who likes…

When my friend randomly suggested Blu Ristorante (@BluRistorante) for an Italian dinner while we were shopping in the Yorkville area, I was quite excited yet perplexed. Italian food – specifically pasta is something that I always crave for so I never say nooo. Yet, I was feeling perplexed because I usually do all my research before heading to any restaurants – so I guess this was somewhat of a spontaneous visit? =) I admit – the second I walked through the doors – the restaurant did give off a bit of a pretentious vibe but our waiter made it go away as soon as he came over and walked us through the menu. He was friendly and…
So a while ago, I made a visit to Ciao Wine Bar in Yorkville. Ciao Wine Bar is one of the many restaurants under the Liberty Entertainment Group. This authentic Italian restaurant has been opened for as long as I can remember. This is one of my many backlogged post only because my experience at Ciao Wine Bar was somewhat mediocre. But thought I should still share my thoughts about this dinner. ZUPPE Stracciatella ($9.00) Egg drop, spinach in a chicken broth with parmigiano reggianno Bread to Start: PIZZA Amerciana ($18.00) Tomato, mozzarella, salami, mushroom, green peppers PASTA Pasta Lunga ($21.00) Linguine with fresh clams, mussels, calamari, tiger shrimp in a light tomato sauce My verdict? As…
