Cottage living doesn’t necessarily mean slumming it, culinarily speaking. Here are four Muskoka eateries turning out first-class meals — just in time for the May long weekend.
So there’s no seats and tickets are going for nearly $200 on the secondhand ticket market for tonight’s Raptors playoff game. Even you diehards might think twice about splurging on seats. But really, sports are often better in the confines of a well-equipped pub to capture all the atmosphere, not to mention better beer and grub.
G. Marquis is a Magnotta label that celebrates the life of the late Gabe Magnotta, who co-founded the Ontario winery.
There was an air of excitement in the air—fresh off a win the night before, our Toronto Blue Jays seemed poised to carry it forward into a streak. And what better way to celebrate than Garrison Creek Bat Co.’s “Season Opener,” which took over the Steamwhistle Brewery last night.
Harbord Street continues to be a top-notch culinary destination in Toronto. It’s home to the legendary Splendido, and also to The Harbord Room and its sister restaurant, THR & Co. The Food Dudes chose the neighbourhood for their upcoming venture, Tabula Rasa, and about a month ago Harvest Kitchen opened up in the space previously occupied by Tati Bistro.
What would happen if two cowboy-themed bars opened up simultaneously in Toronto? Would the space-time continuum implode? We’ll soon find out, because two new saloons — Boots & Bourbon and Rock ‘n’ Horse — hosted their grand opening parties on Wednesday.
Ontario’s largest organic winery with Richmond Hill roots is trying to bring more grape growers on the organic bandwagon and, in turn, help meet its own demands.
Fifteen years ago, the sale of alcohol was prohibited in the Junction. As a sign of how much the west Toronto neighbourhood has changed since then, it now has two local, independent breweries: Junction Craft Brewing and Indie Alehouse, the latter of which opened its doors to the public for the first time last weekend.
Lisa Sanguedolce — whose surname, fittingly, translates into Italian as “sweet blood” — has big plans in the works. As of today, she officially opened a new and improved location of Le Dolci, her cupcake-centric “foodie studio,” relocating it from a loft at King and Portland to a much larger space on Dundas West. But the address change is merely one of many pillars that comprise Sanguedolce’s expansive culinary vision.
Sure, the newly-opened Gusto 101 is yet another Italian restaurant, but there are a few things that set it apart: the location was originally an auto body shop (it still retains its original exposed brick walls and steel beams), it features a unisex lavatory and, most importantly, it has an in-house winery, where the wine is served on tap for one dollar an ounce.
Jesse Cook, Toronto’s own flamenco guitar phenomenon (a musician, composer and producer, to be precise), is busy working on a new studio album, and he’s set to take the stage at the Rexall Centre alongside Pink Martini and Chris Botti tomorrow evening. We managed to lob a few questions at Cook, who, along with being a Juno Award winner, also happens to be an all-round nice guy.
