Au Pied de Cochon: Cabane à Sucre

Posted on May 24, 2013 by Qinn

Our lack of posts in April is partially due to my being out of town most weekends that month. While quite a bit north east of Toronto, one of the most memorable meals in April was in Montreal, at Au … Continue reading →

Auberge Du Pommier

Posted on March 22, 2013 by Qinn

The fact that Toronto is obsessed with food is not a huge surprise. However, the trend is that the food itself triumphs over all else. This has resulted in restaurants with no space, no reservations, and often with no service. … Continue reading →

Mozy’s Shawarma

Posted on January 17, 2013 by Qinn

Shogun Ramen

Posted on December 9, 2012 by Qinn

Sansotei! Santouka! Kinton! Kenzo! There are plenty of ramen choices in Toronto nowadays (and we’ve tried them all, we’ll get to writing about them eventually…). However, working uptown makes it unfeasible to have lunch at any of these ramen places. … Continue reading →
