OPENING | Montreal's popular PoutineVille opens in Toronto's Annex neighbourhood

The arrival of Poutineville to the Annex means that we can finally have all you can eat poutine and a heart attack - just kidding! We don't mean a real heart attack but Poutineville's infamous 15 lb. poutine called 'The Heart Attack."


Co-owners  Kosta Kariotakis and Camillo Fresco's vision of selling the best poutines which originated in Montreal has quickly grown to locations in Quebec City and Toronto as well.  What makes this poutine joint stand out from the rest is definitely the variety on the menu, an option to customize your very own poutine, all you can eat poutine and the largest poutine you'll find in Toronto! 

Our evening began with delicious drinks made by Mixologist Nishan Nepulangoda. If you don't think poutine and cocktails mix, think again because upscale interior doesn't make you think you're in a poutine restaurant at all! Their Toronto location has a full service-bar, lounge area, banquettes and even a cozy patio ensuring your needs are met regardless of the occasion.

 

The infamous heart attack aka the biggest poutine in Toronto - French crispy potatoes, chicken, bacon, hot dogs, minced beef, ham, onions, green peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, fresh cheese curds and mozzarella with home made poutine sauce.


Montrealer - French Crispy home fries with Montreal smoked meat, sauteed mushrooms, home made poutine sauce with swiss cheese au gratin and a fried pickle on top. 


Not to fret if you are a vegetarian, there is an option for you as well! The poutine pictured above has sweet potato, green peppers, black olives, corn and daiya cheese! Not to mention the gravy is vegetarian friendly as well.


Even if among all the different options on the menu you still can't find a poutine that you like, you can create your very own using Poutineville's poutine checklist. Customize your very own poutine from start to finish with your choice of potatoes, cheese, vegetables, meats, sauces and even extra cheese! A few of the toppings that we would want on our poutine is the pogo, philly steak and hot dog! What's on YOUR poutine?

If poutines aren't your thing, burgers, sandwiches, salads and an assortment of appetizers are available to you as well!


Steam Whistle was also set up on the patio that night because as far as snack foods go, beer and poutine make a pretty great pair together!

REVIEW | Yasu

Just over a year ago, Yasu Sushi Bar opened in Harbord Village, sending a buzz around Toronto about the newest spot for the best nigiri.  We, of course were intrigued and couldn't wait to try it - what took us so long, right? Finally, we made reservations and experience the sushi-only omakase at Yasu, first hand. Omakase translates to a meal, comprised of Chef's selections.  Yasu offers an 18-course Chef-selected nigiri meal with a dessert at the end. The restaurant takes 2 seatings on weeknights from 6PM and another at 8:30PM.  On weekends, there are 3 seatings at 5PM, 7:15PM and 9:30PM. And yes, a reservation is required to dine at Yasu. As this is an Omakase-style meal, so naturally, the space is limited. At Yasu, that means 13 diners at the bar and 2 on a table by the window at one seating time. I personally suggest sitting by the bar to watch all the sushi-magic happen and be the first to get the pieces.  I noticed that the plates being sent to the table were a...

REVIEW | Té

Toronto Real Estate is no joke and many other like us find it a struggle to keep up with a social life style and be able to afford the rent at the first of every month. Restaurants are no different and they face the same struggles if not more trying to keep up with the expenses.  It should come as no surprise then that many restaurants come and go and sometimes it can be hard to keep up with what's new. We're especially excited that Te   has opened up in the Ossington area and is a place we can go to for food and late night eats.  Coming from the Spanish word for tea, Te is the next up and coming spot for Asian style tapas. Tapas to me always make me reminisce about dim sum, not quite the same thing but gives you that same feeling of being able to share your dishes with everyone. Why eat a bowl of pasta all by yourself when you can try ten different dishes?  I absolutely loved their selection of cocktails, all of which incorporate some aspect of tea in it. Has the se...
