LAUNCH |Blinco's Crepes & Coffee

I'm a big fan of crepes, especially savoury crepes! When I heard about Blinco's Crepes & Coffee opening just a few blocks away from me, I couldn't wait to try it out. Blinco's had its grand opening just yesterday so it's really new to the neighbourhood. If you're in Etobicoke like myself, this may become your new crepe spot.

The interior is bright, clean and spacious with one side of the restaurant offering seatings and another side for the kitchen where you can see your crepes being made from scratch! Blinco's is a semi-self-serve, meaning you order and pay at the register, find a table and the food will be brought to you.

With savoury crepes at $7.99 (choose all the toppings you want) and decadent crepes at $6.99, the prices are very affordable. They also offer breakfast crepes ($4.99) and snack crepes ($3.49).

We decided to order one from the savoury menu and one from the sweet menu:

The one with Tuna Melt
Toppings: guacamole, corn, cucumber, tomatoes

Their savoury crepes are basically wraps, using crepes instead of tortilla since they're not open face. Instead, it is rolled up and pressed. I suggest using your hands to devour this one instead of fork & knives.

The one with Nutella & Strawberries

The sweet crepes are just what you want for dessert. The strawberries and Nutella combo - I mean how can you not like this?

Overall, their freshly made crepes are delicious! I would recommend not piling on too many toppings (like I did with my tuna melt) as it could take away from that tasty crepe. Instead, keep it simple and you'll be more than satisfied. For my next visit, I'm already thinking about their breakfast crepes - the one with scrambled eggs & cheese.

Located on Shaver Ave. and Dundas St. W., it's right beside Harvey's - it's tucked inside a semi plaza so it may be hard to find.

EVENT | Our Recap on the Delicious Food Show 2014 - what we ate, drank & loved!

The 3-day Delicious Food Show, perfect for food lovers in Toronto is back for 2014. Unlike other culinary shows that happen in the city, what I like about DFS is that it's not massive and overcrowded but has a good number of exhibitors and features an impressive list of celebrity chefs, cooking demonstrations and workshops - talk about interactive!

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.
