EVENT | Get a taste of Barcelona in Toronto from August 14-23 with Estrella Damm

Who said summer's coming to an end? With better weather than ever before in Toronto, it's hard to head home after a day of work. This week's about to get better with Barcelona's popular beer brand, Estrella Damm launching a fun and delicious Tapas Journey program to run for 10 days.  20 of Toronto's best restaurants will be offering a pint of its smooth lager and 3 different tapas dishes for $20!  Tonight, we had the pleasure of getting a preview at some of my favourite restaurants: Marben, Valdez and Patria.



Foodies can take part in the Estrella Damm Tapas Journey and get a taste of Barcelona in Toronto. If the amazing options of food wasn't enough to spark your interest, take part in the journey for an opportunity to win a trip for two to Miami to attend the Estrella Damm Gastronomy Congress and see Ferran Adrià, the world's most awarded chef! 

Want to see what you'll be getting a taste of at the three restaurants we visited tonight?

Marben with Chef Rob Bragagnolo
Strawberry Gazpacho | Romesco Marinated Tuna & Watermelon | Poached Duck Egg with Potato Cream & Crispy Serrano Ham


 

 Valdez with Chef Steve Gonzalez
La Reina | Legua a la Veracruzana | Valdez Empanada

 

Patria with Chef Stuart Cameron
Albodigas con Tomate | Pintxo de Tortilla de Patatas | Queso Bunuelos
 

The standouts for me was the Poached Duck Egg with potato cream & crispy serrano ham from Marben. As a whole, I enjoyed Patria's dishes as it went really well with the beer. You're definitely getting your $20's worth of fabulous food at these restaurants, not to mention a chance to discover your next favourite spot in Toronto.

To document your tapas journey, you will receive a passport at the first restaurant you dine at. Keep track of all the restaurants you've been by receiving a gold star sticker at every participating restaurant you visit. We mentioned an opportunity to win a trip to Miami earlier and all you have to do is share your Tapas Journey passport on Twitter or Instagram using #TapasJourney for a ticket to the contest.

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.
