An Izakaya for the college crowd, just on Dundas and Bay Street. Check it out if you have time - just make sure you get there early to get a table! In order: Steamed shabu shabu, assorted skewers, cheese wontons, pork buns, deep fried mackerel, battered shrimp, and seafood udon with bonita flakes.

This joint was first a tasty breakfast restaurant that specialized in cooking pork and have now changed into a cocktail bar (hence the name). The cocktail menu ranged from modern to classics, and some of them were originals from the bar. I had the privilege of trying some of the bar snacks which included Duck Rillette and Foie Parfait. Both delicious and paired well with the Lavender Hound I was sipping on. I also tried their Wintergreen beverage, served in what looked like a watering can. Very earthy but on the nose smelt like vanilla and cinnamon because of the tonka beans. [gallery]
Always a delicious lunch, never a doubt about this cafe! Too bad Vancouver's Holt Renfrew lacks such an amenity. Enjoy the photos! Food: Snack - Truffle Crisps, Appetizer - Roasted Beet Caprese, Entrée - Two poached eggs served with smoked salmon inside a croissant, alongside a salad. Dessert - Banana cream pie.

Owned by celebrity chef, Scott Conan, this delectable restaurant brings joy to foodies out there. Of course most would agree that being at the Thompson Hotel could mean some $ signs, but totally worth having the pleasure of eating their handmade-fresh pastas. Thanks to uncle Bryan I was able to try many of their pastas - including the special of the night: Rabbit Ravioli, which was superb. Cannot forget their creamy polenta served with mushrooms served in truffle jus. Enjoy the food through these yummy photos! [gallery]
