Farewell Splendido, I bid you adieu! This post is super late and not our usual restaurant review for several reasons, namely I can't 100% remember what I ate because it dates back to Dec 16, 2015, and Splendido is no more! After 18 years in business, Chef Victor Barry and team decided to close it down on Jan 1, 2016 in line with transforming the space into a casual Italian eatery. … [Read more...]
Restaurant Laloux – Montreal
November 28, 2015 By
It's no secret we love good food, and when it's also accompanied by exceptional service we know we've hit the jackpot. Laloux is one of those rare finds, and I'm happy to say that it is THE most memorable restaurant that we've ever been to. In fact I even dare say, thus far, that it is my favourite restaurant of all time. What sets it apart from the others is their relentless approach … [Read more...]
An NYC Anniversary!
September 6, 2015 By
It still feels surreal that just a few weekends ago we spent our first anniversary in NYC. Essentially Joseph surprised me with the trip, and even arranged for my parents to take care of Baby James (thanks mom and dad). We booked two nights at Langham Place on Fifth Ave. Lets just say that my husband is amazing, and I had the best sleep in a very long time. Complimentary … [Read more...]
JOEY Don Mills – Toronto
August 19, 2015 By
I just had my first real outing since giving birth to James and it was sans baby and fantastic. While I'll admit I've gone out for pediatrician visits, the occasional grocery run, and a few Toys R Us baby purchases, for the past 3 weeks I literally haven't left the house otherwise. Basically when my childhood friend Carl said he was coming to Toronto for a short visit (all the way from … [Read more...]
Cluny Bistro & Boulangerie: Toronto
June 22, 2015 By
I've been procrastinating and this post (regretfully) has been over a month in the making! I blame it on the pregnancy grogginess cuz I'm definitely more tired than my regular self, but hey we're at 36 weeks now and in the home stretch (woohoo)! :D Last month we celebrated Mother's Day in the Distrillery District at Cluny Bistro & Boulangerie. My friend Karen recommended it, and … [Read more...]
What To Do In Vegas
July 3, 2014 By
We love Vegas, and truthfully even more so than Toronto. Which brings me to several questions we get asked time and time again: "Why Vegas? What do you do there? Don't you guys ever go anywhere else?!" In short, we LOVE it there! Vegas is like our second home, like a cottage, plus it's only a 4 hour flight away. While some people head off to Niagara or New York for a break, we prefer Sin … [Read more...]
The Chase: Toronto
May 11, 2014 By
What a week! Between finalizing wedding details, planning several upcoming events, organizing work, home, and life in general, I've definitely been missing some zzz's. So how does this girl unwind during busy times? By eating fantastically, and keeping my taste buds happy. Toronto has so much to offer, and eventually we hope to explore more of this lovely city. Usually we scour the … [Read more...]
Yuzu No Hana – Toronto
March 9, 2014 By
So I can't believe it either, but we've had this site for nearly a year now :D. Sorry we haven't been updating in the last little while but we assure you that there's plenty of posts to come! So last weekend we were able to getaway for a bit and enjoyed a night out at Yuzu No Hana. We both share a deep fondness for Yuzu, and it will always be my favourite Japanese restaurant for an … [Read more...]
Tomo Sushi: Richmond Hill
January 30, 2014 By
We've been really busy finalizing our wedding vendors over the past few weeks. So far we've booked our: venue, caterer, church, photographer, cake, dress, decorator, florist, favours, lighting and DJ *takes a deep breath*. With the big stuff out of the way, we'll eloborate on each company as we get closer to The Big Day in September (but there's still lots more to do)! In between the … [Read more...]
Momofuku Daisho: Toronto
December 27, 2013 By
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE, Joseph and I wish you all the best! We also hope that everyone has enough heat going around, because baby it's COLD outside. And whenever it gets really cold, I get really hungry! So in our efforts to stay warm and fuel our stomachs, we enjoyed a holiday meal with family at Momofuku Daisho... The restaurant is connected to the beautiful Shangri-La hotel … [Read more...]
