EVENT | Bent Restaurant launches new 5-course Vegetarian Tasting Menu September 9 - 20!

For a limited time only, Bent Restaurant is serving up a delightful 5-course vegetarian tasting menu from September 9 - 20. After getting a taste of what the menu is all about with a workshop on how to make a meringue, we are certain you won't ever say vegetarian dishes are boring anymore!

We attended another workshop led by one of our favourite chefs, Susur Lee (read our Dim Sum workshop experience here) titled Veggielicious 101. In this class, we were to learn the art of making the perfect meringue, which is part of the newly launched Veggielicious 5-course dinner,  available for $45 per person.


We started off the workshop with a few dishes from the original Bent menu, which were all very flavourful and delicately incorporated Asian inspiration in every dish. We've never been to Bent before and let's just say it won't be long until we return.

Crispy Chicken Dumpling - spicy roasted chorizo, maple & smoked chili lime glaze and parmesan emulsion

Guacamole Taro Taco - Love this new innovative way to serve a taco! 


The famous 19 ingredient Singapore Slaw - If you haven't had the chance to order the signature slaw at Lee, you are definitely missing out! This signature dish by Chef Susur is traditionally prepared for Chinese New Years to bring in good luck, but we are definitely happy that it's available all year long at Lee and coming soon to Bent!


Susur Lee is definitely in his element showing us the the various herbs and vegetables grown from the garden right behind the restaurant. It doesn't get anymore fresh than that! 


Bartender Manuel taught us a thing or two when it comes to preparing the perfect cocktail with his Asian Caesar demonstration. We were especially impressed with how many ingredients go into that cocktail!


Asian Caesar - home-made clamato with muddled coriander, hoisin, soya, chilli sesame oil, Sriracha, rimmed with Chef Lee's 5-spice secret blend topped with pickled watermelon rind & radish


The Karate Kid II - a sake based cocktail with nigori sake, jasmine tea infused gin, yuzu & lime juice, vanilla syrup, egg white & coriander


Chilled Soba with shredded local vegetables & yuba cake, confit of shiitake, shiso leaf, nori crisps & Taiwanese vinaigrette


Chickpea Tempura Tofu with pickled brassica & fresh mint, shishito peppers, Korean sweet chilli sauce & braised burdock root


Mushroom Quinoa Risotto with Romano parmigiano emulsion & tempeh crouton


French Meringue with Golden Licorice topped with lemon curd, wild blueberry, peaches, passion fruit syrup & raspberry coulis


A bonus is the amazing patio that Bent has outside, so enjoy the amazing weather outside and try out Veggielicious from September 9- 20!

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...
