Farmhouse Tavern: Toronto
August 16, 2013 By
Farmhouse Tavern, oh where do we begin? We almost couldn't find you! Our GPS was partly to blame, and the narrow twisted roads the other, but once we arrived there was hardly any parking at all! We could tell this place was a favourite among locals, and I wish we had ordered the steak and burgers as they did, but we felt downright adventurous after our 1.5 hour drive and wanted to try … [Read more...]
Paris Crêpes Cafe: Niagara
July 19, 2013 By
Niagara Falls has become our summer getaway for the past two years and ever since we discovered this little gem along the way, Paris Crêpes has been on our minds and in our stomachs! Tucked away on quiet Queen Street, approximately 15 mins drive away from the Falls, is this Parisian-inspired cafe. The decor is adorable and detailed, from the windows to the walls. There is free … [Read more...]
Cibo Wine Bar: Toronto
July 13, 2013 By
If we had to choose one evening of the week to be the sexiest one of all, it would have to be Saturday nights hands down. Saturdays are prime time date nights, so once we laid eyes on Cibo Wine Bar we let the rest of our senses take over. Surrounded by a warm and intimate interior, and sumptuous Italian food, we knew we could relax and enjoy the night for what it truly was - a … [Read more...]
Aoyama Sushi: Toronto
July 4, 2013 By
A night on the town turned into a wonderful 8 course sashimi omakase dinner for two. Aoyama Sushi is home to fresh seafood and veteran talent from Chef owner Masa Endo. As we sat by the bar, we couldn't help but notice the chef's intense dedication to his craft - delivering the same level of concentration to each dish as he did 13 years ago, when Joseph first met him. Back then Chef Endo … [Read more...]
Splendido: Toronto (We’re Engaged!)

Splendido was such a wonderful experience for us: fine dining catered by exceptional service, held in an intimate setting fit for a... proposal? YES, we're engaged and it happened at this restaurant! We have many people to thank for making our night so memorable, in particular to Jeff and his team at Splendido; you certainly worked your magic. :D Wedding proposal aside, the … [Read more...]
Origin North: Toronto
June 14, 2013 By
Something special has come our way, and it goes by the name of Origin North. Sound familiar? There are two other restaurants from the Origin brand located in St. Lawrence and Liberty Village, but this is the first one that owner and Chef Claudio Aprile has opened north of downtown Toronto. This new restaurant is easily accessible right off Highway 401 at Bayview Village, and has just … [Read more...]
Our First Toronto Post: JaBistro
June 2, 2013 By
Wow, after arriving home from Vegas one of the first few things we craved was sushi and sashimi (fish fish fish)! We scoured the web looking for something new, and finally decided on the latest venture from the creators of Guu: JaBistro. We had a really good time; the food was flavourful, particularly the oshizushi pressed sushi, and our server Ayaka was so attentive and genuinely kind - … [Read more...]
é by José Andrés at Jaleo, Cosmopolitan: Vegas
June 1, 2013 By
This was truly a culinary tasting adventure: 23 Spanish tapas-styled dishes spanning over 2 hours. And the best part - every one of them incorporated some aspect of molecular gastronomy; a science-infused dinner for the curious at heart! It was unlike any experience we had ever had before. They do require you to complete their reservation request form and send it back to them at least 2 … [Read more...]
Mizumi at Wynn: Vegas
May 28, 2013 By
In Toronto, we are fortunate enough to have a food culture that is diverse and multicultural. When it comes to Japanese food, we are always on the lookout for delicious and fresh sushi and sashimi. While we have had great experiences at Tomo Sushi and Yuzu, we wanted to see what types of dishes Vegas had to offer. After watching Mr. Wynn's infomercial several times, we decided to settle … [Read more...]
