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 | 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. The Healthy Butcher Sausage War Media Class w...

RECIPE | Alokozay Tea - Cinnamon tea infused panna cotta

Matcha tea has been a long time favourite when making any type of dessert and now more recently, it's expanded to other teas such as Chai or Early Grey. We decided to try making a panna cotta using cinnamon tea from  Alokozay Tea.    If you're looking to buy it in a store, try the international food section in Metro, Bulk Barn, Food Basics, or Adonis. If all else fails, do what we did and order it directly from their website. The website is extremely easy to navigate and you can get free shipping if you spend $39 or more.  Customer service was amazing and replied to my emails within the same day! Click here to buy the tea online.  Panna Cotta is a pretty straight forward dessert to make but it never fails to impress at dinner parties where you can serve them in individual ramekins. Ingredients - 2 Alokozay cinnamon tea bags - 3/4 cup half and half cream -1/2 cup 2% milk - 2 tbsp sugar - 1 tsp gelatin -fruits of your choice  Method: 1. Mix the gelatin with ...
