LAUNCH | \MoRoCo Chocolat

One of Toronto's ritzy neighbourhoods, Yorkville wouldn't be the same without its popular luxury chocolat boutique, MoRoCo Chocolat.  Tucked away on Yorkville Ave., this whimsical spot not only offers amazing chocolate, but also has brunch, afternoon tea, dinner, and did I mention cocktails? 

I've been to MoRoCo on several occasions this year, whether to pick up some macarons or meet up with a friend for brunch, since my last post on MoRoCo. This post in particular features their new cocktail and dinner menu items for the season that I was invited to preview two weeks ago.




Most of my visits to MoRoCo is to pick up sweets and have brunch but now it looks like I may have to come here at night for their delicious cocktails:

The Mad Man: Bourbon, bitters, cranberries, orange zest
XO Delight: Patron XO cafe, frangelico, baileys, grand marnier, espresso, whipped cream
Strawberry Rhubarb Seduction: presecco, aperol, strawverry, rhubarb, bitters
MoRoCo Caesar: Vodka, clamato, signature mix, tabasco
Frozen MoRoCo Mint Chocolate Martini: vodka, creme de menthe, creme de cocoa, sipping chocolate

 
 

Here comes the food:


S'mores Pancakes

Potato Latkes

Zucchini Spaghetti

 Pulled Pork Tacos

 
Truffle Mac & Cheese

 Tuna Tartare

 Truffled Potato & Ricotta Gnudi

"McQueen" Cake



S'mores Station
Can't leave MoRoCo without trying this!

Milk Chocolate Fondue
Perfect for a romantic date

The Truffle Mac & Cheese and the Smoked Salmon Potato Latke will take me back to MoRoCo for brunch.  I also really liked the Tuna Tartare, thought it was interesting that it was served on a bed of chopped avocado! I've also never had a Gnudi before and it was pretty delicious - it reminded me of a cream cheese popper but of course, that truffle just made it that much better.

And, of course, how can I forget about their S'mores? When I go camping, I bring just enough as I don't like to have too much it, but roasting right at your table after dinner seems like such a great date idea for all you lovebirds out there (you're welcome in advance for that tip).

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...

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...

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 ...
