EVENT | Enjoy Fonda Lola's hidden patio & save $5 when you #paypalit with the PayPal app!

If you still don't have the PayPal app, you really need to get on that! Following the last free coffee campaign that PayPal Canada had, they launched an August campaign that is perfect for Toronto's summer. All month, we can receive $5 off at 12 restaurants with awesome patios when we simply, #paypalitTO. We were invited to Fonda Lola on Queen & Shaw last week to celebrate great offer!


I first came to Fonda Lola and enjoyed their delicious menu of creative food and cocktails last December for their launch. I was so excited for my revisit, as it's the only place in Toronto (or maybe Canada) where I can get my hands on the Jalapeno Candied Bacon - a complete foodgasm dish.

Since the last visit was in December, I wasn't aware of their quaint and cozy patio they had out back. Obviously the patio just increase Fonda Lola's cool factor - more of a reason to come here!

Andres also showed off his skills creating a "smoked coke" and rum for us! He had a little smoking tool and lab glasses (so scientific looking) for the coke, then rum was added. I usually don't drink rum & coke but this was too cool!  

We also had their popular Kombucha Margaria (love).

Now, onto the food we drooled over:
Panela Popper - Jalapeño marinated Panela cheese, coated in corn meal

Hand Held Caesar Salad w/ Candied Jalapeño Bacon - legume, cesar avocado mousse & cheese
I can't even explain how delicious these are...

Steak Tartare with chips

Trout Aguachile - Fonda Lola's version of a ceviche - simply delicious & served with chips

This is a great opportunity to grab a refreshing cocktail by Andres and enjoy the family style modern Mexican fare at Fonda Lola's patio.  Make sure you "check-in" through your paypal app to enjoy the $5 discount and other special offers.

For the entire month of August, take advantage of PayPal Canada's 'Patio night Out' #paypalitTO campaign and receive $5 off when you use the app at 12 different gorgeous patios.

REVIEW | Schnitzel Hub

If vodka, Biergarten or Eastern European food means anything to you then Schnitzel Hub is the place you want to be. The diversity of cuisines has expanded in the St. Clair and Yonge area with Schnitzel Hub's second location.  Unlike the Schnitzel Hub's first location in Vaughan, this new spot offers a full bar, many more seatings for groups as well as a private dining area.   For vodka lovers, you'll be surprised to see some artisan house-infused vodkas at Schnitzel Hub with crazy flavours like lemon & ginger, candy, smoked bacon and even honey & chili pepper! I suggest you sip these infused vodkas to really taste the flavours.  Personally, I enjoyed the lemon & ginger but many others were raving about the horseradish! Now, onto the food offerings. This restaurant prides itself on creating homemade, authentic meals from Eastern an Central Europe with a focus on schnitzels.  I must say the portions here are very generous so it's a great spot to go for din...

REVIEW | HoneyButter - Decadent Macarons and more...

Who doesn't love desserts? We certainly do and that's why we were so excited to try out HoneyButter's   macarons!    HoneyButter is a private dessert company founded by Grace who offers a wide variety of desserts including cheesecakes, tarts, cupcakes cookies and of course macarons.  Anyone who likes to bake will tell you that baking is essentially a science. Proportions have to be exact or else the result turns out to be one of those "baking fails" that everyone laughs about. However, not all baking is created equally...cookies and breads tend to be on the easier side and then there are the macarons...in their perfect little shells just taunting you to attempt conquering them. Having tried and failed numerous times at making macarons myself, it's nice to know I can contact HoneyButter  to order some and know that when they arrive they'll look nothing like my own personal baking fail. The list of flavours for macarons is almost never ending and for HoneyBu...

REVIEW | CC Lounge & Supper Club

The first step inside the new CC Lounge & Supper Club on Yonge & Front will immediately draw your attention to their life-size gold-rimed birdcage, supple leather couches, wooden barrel tables and exposed brick wall - all meticulously designed to create the prohibition-era inspired atmosphere.  This Whisky specialty lounge provides guests a delicious menu full of comfort food as well as Whisky Tastings in their unique 'Whisky Tunnel.' The CC Lounge & Supper Club is quite spacious with lounge areas and the main bar at the front and more dining tables for groups and the infamous whisky tunnel towards the back of the restaurant.  The two spaces can be divided easily with velvet curtains, making it a great spot for groups and parties for special occasions. As I mentioned before, the decor is very eye catching! Beautiful swarovski crystal chandeliers are hung diagonally providing interesting light source and the exposed brick wall throughout the entire space stays true...
