REVIEW | Stoney Bread Company

Clara's been to the the original location of Stoney's Bread Company in Oakville many times, urging me to make a visit myself for their yummy menu offerings.  In this particular case, I didn't have to go all the way to Oakville because Stoney's opened a new location just 5 minutes from my place in Etobicoke! I have been a couple times already, both for their Sunday brunch service and I must say that I am quickly loving the new neighbourhood restaurant addition.




Situated on The Queensway, just West of the Cineplex Theatres you will find Stoney's second restaurant. There is limited parking space that is usually full on Sundays so you can also park on the streets by the theatres or in the parking at the bank across the street.


At Stoney's you are to order your food and drink, take a number and then wait to be seated if dining in the restaurant. Once your menu items are ready, the server will bring them to your table. From Sunday brunch, soups & salads, pizzas, to entrees, Stoney's offers a variety of fresh food items as well as alcoholic beverages. Not only is this charming atmosphere perfect for family brunch, it's great for dinner dates or a group get together.

The service at the new Stoney's restaurant is friendly and welcoming as well. Of course during peak hours it's expected that there would be a wait but during my most recent visit, the staff seemed to be settling in well.

 Canadian Peameal Back Bacon ($8.00)
with three mustard aioli on a ciabatta

 Santa Fe Eggs ($11.00)
Poached eggs, back bacon, charred pepper tapenade, pico de gallo & hollandaise on grilled focaccia

 Stoney's Breakfast ($12.00)
Scrambled eggs, crispy bacon & hash browns

Spinach Frittata ($10.50)
Spinach, field mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes & asiago

Crêpe aux Fraises ($11.00)
Field berries, lemon & brown sugar, flambé au Grand Marnier with vanilla whipped cream

Stoney's Omelette ($10.50)
Chorizo sausage, charred peppers, field mushrooms & asiago

What I really enjoy about Stoney's is the restaurant quality market fresh food that's available in a casual atmosphere where you set the pace for your dining experience. It offers the best of both worlds: dine-in or take-out in an efficient manner.

There are other restaurant cafes nearby with the same type of service such as Artisano's or Panera Bread, but the quality of service and food seems to be set Stoney's apart from them.

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.
