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 | 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...
