EVENT | Nota Bene Happy Hour

For all you fellow foodies that work downtown, you may or may not see me enjoying a glass of Cava and munching on some delicious bar snacks after work hours at Nota Bene Restaurant for the next month or so.  Why? Because they have 10 new menu items offer at $4 each, between 4PM and 7PM everyday.  I mean, if you go with a friend and order everything, it's $20 per person - how awesome is that? Cheers!

 


 I must admit, I haven't never been to Nota Bene. I have noticed it long, long time ago and almost tried it out for Summerlicious last year, but the lunch plans fell through so I never got the chance. However, leave it to a deal like $4 menu items and a long day of work to get me there. I am really glad I went to try this place out because...

1. Great ambiance - not pin-drop quiet and not super loud so you can really enjoy the company your'e with over drinks and food. It's a simple ask, but sometimes it's hard to find...
2. Great staff & service - friendly host, attentive staff and bartenders that make delicious mock/cocktails!
3. The price of their new 4 To 7 Menu: $4 for bar snacks from 4PM - 7PM and $7 from 7PM. Order all ten items for $40 to share among friends. It's a great deal.

Check out all the dishes from the 4 To 7 menu that we tried: 
Truffle Popcorn with Parmigiano

Salt Cod Fritters with kimchi mayo

 Burrata Pugliese with grilled miche & olive oil

 Calabrese Olives & Cheese 


Calamari A La Plancha with XO sauce & coriander

 Shoshito Peppers with lemon & Maldon salt

Porcini Arancini with truffle aioli & Parmigiano

 Cumbrae Farms Beef Sliders with havarti cheese & maple bacon

 Belly Buster Slider with pork belly, frites, ketchup & pickle

The standouts from the menu for me were Truffle Popcorn, Burrata Pugliese and the Belly Buster Sliders.  I shared 9 dishes with one other friend along with a couple of drinks each and we left with full bellies.  I recommend that if you want to try everything, go with at least 2 friends.

I didn't get to try the Buttermilk-Fried Chicken so if you do, leave a comment below and let us know your thoughts. I'll be going back to try that!

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...
