LAUNCH | New menu & kitchen program with premium whisky at The Emmet Ray

Ever since its doors opened in December 2009 on College St., The Emmet Ray remains as comfortable and inviting as it was 5 years ago. While the atmosphere has stayed the same, they have recently launched a new menu and kitchen program which is sure to impress regulars and new diners.

Thing to know about The Emmet Ray: they are open 365 days a year from 5pm - 2am and there are over 230 types of whisky that are available! If you're a whisky-lover, you might as well call this your new hang-out spot.

Along with the food and drinks also comes nightly entertainment, including performances by various artists, DJs and special events. For more information on nightly entertainment, click here.

After attending their menu launch, we have to say it is pretty impressive and incorporates fancy elements with comfort food that we can all appreciate!

Root vegetable fondant with smoked carrot, crisps & grains ($11.00)

Gnocchi Poutine with Ontario mushroom ragu & aged goat gouda ($11.00)

Herb-crusted spiced-pork meat ball

Steamer clam chowder with bacon & house toast ($10.00)

Pommes Anna supreme with spiced crema, tomatoes & cheddar ($7.00)

Piquant greens with smoked trout, maple soy vinaigrette & seeds ($12.00)

Pastrami beef heart with potato & chorizo vinaigrette ($15.00)

Pepperoni pull apart bread with garlic butter ($6.00)

Located on Collete Street, just west of Ossington, The Emmet Ray is both car and TTC-accessible. This is a much more casual and welcoming whisky bar that also offers tasty food, rather than a typical upscale boys club bar.

So, why not make a visit for a drink (or two) for your next night out with your friends or a date?

REVIEW | Light Cafe

We find Baldwin Village to be a street in Toronto that is ever growing. You'll never know what to expect in terms of businesses that will pop up! Not to mention it's diverse food culture including gelato, ramen, Italian, Filipino food and so much more. It doesn't surprise us at all that Light Cafe decided to take residence on Baldwin. I have traveled quite extensively through Asia and can say with confidence that Light Cafe looks exactly like a cafe you would find in Taiwan. Not only is it spacious inside, I love the minimalist decor inside which provides a calming atmosphere. I could see myself sitting at the cafe for hours (within reason haha) and getting some work done. The first thing that we noticed and I'm sure many of you will as well - is the living wall. I don't think I've ever been to a restaurant where there was a living wall but I've always wanted one of my own. With the natural sunlight coming in with the wall, it's the perfect place to f...

WORKSHOP | Sausage Making Class at The Healthy Butcher on Eglinton!

Recently named 'Best Butcher in Toronto' by Now Magazine, the Healthy Butcher just may become your go-to butcher shop for organically & locally-sourced meats as well as sustainable seafood! It's no surprise that The Healthy Butcher caters to those that 'live to eat' as they're passionate about food themselves. In fact, they're so serious, that they offer educational and fun workshops on roasting, knife skills, butchering and lots more... The hands-on workshops and classes are held on weekday evenings and range from $40 to $125 per person depending on the class. With an intimate group, you'll be sure to learn a new set of skills at these 2.5 hr classes at The Healthy Butcher in the company of other food lovers. When I first heard about their workshops, I thought it would be a perfect team-building exercise for co-workers but it would be great to take friends or family as it's a great time overall.

REVIEW | Cafeteria

[Guest Writer: Jonathan L.] For my first food blogging experience, I head over to a pre-opening at Cafeteria by Playa Cabana with Monica from the Food Sisterhood. The newest addition to the Mas Playas group is located on College and Dovercourt, an area with many up-and-coming restaurants. We are seated at a table with fellow bloggers, Laney & Nick from Best of Toronto , Jess from Where Jess Ate , and Jess' fiance, Mike. While he refuses to contribute to her blog, he has at least put a sufficiently sizeable ring on her finger to warrant a few perks (ha ha). Cafeteria boasts a lively ambiance. Despite not being officially launched, the restaurant is bustling with walk-ins, undoubtedly attracted by the rustic charm of Cafeteria's decor. The highlights are vintage wood and tile finishes throughout, and a set of floor to ceiling wrought-iron gates in the style of traditional Mexican courtyard architecture. Before the meal begins, I warm my pa...
