REVIEW | Terra Restaurant

Terra Restaurant just recently celebrated their 20th anniversary during the month of October. As we all know, the food industry is a cut throat one and for a restaurant to be able to celebrate a 20th anniversary does tell us that they must be doing something right! This was our first visit to Terra and it definitely won't be our last.

Bison Carpaccio

We went in with high expectations knowing that Terra has held the reputation as being one of the best restaurants in the GTA. It's not just about the food though, there's so much more that goes into being one of the best restaurants in Toronto including the level of service and ambiance.

Immediately upon walking inside, we noticed the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the restaurant. The interior resembled a sophisticated yet homey upscale restaurant. The service during our entire meal was impeccable. The servers were extremely attentive and were readily available to us at any given time.

If the service was any indication of what the food was going to be like, we were not going to be disappointed at all.

Yuzo and Chile Marinated Raw Day Boat Jump Scallop & Pork Belly

Branzino with seasonal vegetables

12oz Striploin with mashed potatoes and vegetables

White chocolate cheesecake

Apple Crumble

From our wines, appetizers, to the last bite of our dessert, we couldn't have asked for more. The Branzino and the Scallops were standouts for us, as well as the 12oz. striploin.

We're excited and happy to have discovered Terra for a great fine dining experience, North of the GTA.

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.
