EVENT | Pizza & Gelato Party at G for Gelato in the St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood - what a blast!

We've always been told not to judge by a book by its cover and we shouldn't judge a restaurant by its name either. G for Gelato - gelato and espresso bar definitely offers more than just that!



G for Gelato offers an impressive selection of paninis, pizza, salads, gelatos, drinks and even breakfast on their menu. What makes your entire experience here even better is the impeccable service you get. Whether you're trying to decide what type of pizza to order or curious to try all their gelato flavours, the staff is always ready to lend a helping hand. As we all know, overall atmosphere of a restaurant is just as important as the food and G for Gelato definitely sets the bar high.

If you happen to see owner Shant out and about in the restaurant, stop for a chat and find out why his love for food has inspired him to open G for Gelato.

Everyone loves a good slice of pizza every now and then - we sure can't get enough. Whether you opt for a simpler pizza such as cheese or something more complex with hot peppers, meat or pineapple, you'll find it here. We tried a few of G for Gelato's pizzas and all we can say is, we're hooked! 

On a side note, order a bottle of Peroni (a classic Italian beer) with your pizza.


Maialina - tomato sauce, mozzarella, spicy italian sausage, spicy soppressata, fresh basil.
If you love meat as much as we do, you'll love this pizza! You'll also get a kick in every bite from the spicy sausage.


Funghi pizza - assorted mushrooms, fontina cheese, topped with arugula, shaved parmesan and truffle oil.
The funghi pizza surprisingly didn't taste as vegetarian as we thought it would. There was enough flavour and we almost forgot that we were eating a pizza with no meat on it. As important as toppings are to a pizza, we can't forget about the crust. We love a thin crust with our pizza and this one definitely hit the spot.


Arugula Salad


Gelato

You won't need to travel far for something sweet after your meal, just walk a few steps to the gelato display. Flavours range from classics like chocolate and and pistachio to creative and innovative flavours like tequila or redbull gelato. Even if you feel overwhelmed with the choice of flavours that are available, follow the steps listed below to ensure you find that perfect flavour!

1. Take a deep breath
2. Ask for a sample of any of the gelatos that seem to call out to you
3. Keep sampling until you've found the "one"
4. Feeling a bit greedy today and can't pick just one? Not to worry - get a bowl with 2 or 3 scoops of your favourite gelato!



Don't forget to enjoy a cup of hand crafted hot drink with your dessert to complete your meal at G for Gelato. :) 



We also got to try making our pizza and let's just say happy diners make for a happy pizza!

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...
