Get ready to #SpiceUpSpring with Aroma's newest menu items!

It's no secret of ours that we love Aroma Espresso Bar and have ever since it opened its doors in Toronto. It's the perfect place to grab a classy quick bite or to move your work from home office to. 



We know that everyone has their own favourites at every coffee shop or restaurant in Toronto and for me, it's the matcha green tea latte.  Not only does it photograph well (extremely important for good instagram posts :) but it also satisfies my constant matcha cravings). 

I am definitely a creature of habit especially when it comes to ordering Aroma's salads. If I'm expecting a heavy dinner or lots of junk food I'll go with the Warm Grilled Chicken Salad. I love that the dressing is on the side so you can add as much as you please, it has the protein that I need and for the entire generous portion, it is less than 200 calories! 

If I'm feeling generous with my daily food consumption, I always opt for the Sweet Potato Lentil Salad because without cheese in my life, where would I be?

Normally I'm not one to mess with a good thing but when I found out Aroma was introducing new menu items, I was definitely intrigued. 

The Warm Grilled Chicken Salad will now be available with roasted garlic, eggplant and roasted red pepper. The price has pretty much stayed the same which is incredible considering how many things have been added. As much as I love the original salad, I have to admit that the new additions give it that little extra "umph".


Another new Spring menu item that we're excited about is the Harissa Tuna Sandwich. 

It was ironic that as we were trying this, I said that I couldn't handle spicy and that I wasn't a fan of pickles but I finished my sandwich. The kick is definitely there but it wasn't overpowering the other ingredients at all. The pickle flavour was also very subtle. 

The sandwich is stuffed with albacore tuna, hard-boiled egg, tomato, red onion and pickle and served on a hearth-baked soft sesame and semolina bun and for those who like olives, you're in for a treat as they come with the sandwich on the side. 


It was extremely filling as a meal and even though I'm trying to stay away from carbs, I think this sandwich might make the exception. 


Last but not least, you will now be able to add Spirulina shots to an Aroma Ice Lemon Mint or any of their real-fruit smoothies for that extra nutritional kick. 

For those of you who are like us and know very little about the health benefits of Spirulina, it is extremely rich in antioxidants, natural vitamins and minerals.  Note: don't be alarmed when it turns your green drink, that's what it's supposed to do!

REVIEW | Yasu

Just over a year ago, Yasu Sushi Bar opened in Harbord Village, sending a buzz around Toronto about the newest spot for the best nigiri.  We, of course were intrigued and couldn't wait to try it - what took us so long, right? Finally, we made reservations and experience the sushi-only omakase at Yasu, first hand. Omakase translates to a meal, comprised of Chef's selections.  Yasu offers an 18-course Chef-selected nigiri meal with a dessert at the end. The restaurant takes 2 seatings on weeknights from 6PM and another at 8:30PM.  On weekends, there are 3 seatings at 5PM, 7:15PM and 9:30PM. And yes, a reservation is required to dine at Yasu. As this is an Omakase-style meal, so naturally, the space is limited. At Yasu, that means 13 diners at the bar and 2 on a table by the window at one seating time. I personally suggest sitting by the bar to watch all the sushi-magic happen and be the first to get the pieces.  I noticed that the plates being sent to the table were a...

OPENING | Montreal's popular PoutineVille opens in Toronto's Annex neighbourhood

The arrival of Poutineville to the Annex means that we can finally have all you can eat poutine and a heart attack - just kidding! We don't mean a real heart attack but Poutineville's infamous 15 lb. poutine called 'The Heart Attack." Co-owners   Kosta Kariotakis and Camillo Fresco's vision of selling the best poutines which originated in Montreal has quickly grown to locations in Quebec City and Toronto as well.  What makes this poutine joint stand out from the rest is definitely the variety on the menu, an option to customize your very own poutine, all you can eat poutine and the largest poutine you'll find in Toronto!  Our evening began with delicious drinks made by Mixologist Nishan Nepulangoda . If you don't think poutine and cocktails mix, think again because upscale interior doesn't make you think you're in a poutine restaurant at all! Their Toronto location has a full service-bar, lounge area, banquettes and even a cozy patio ensuring y...

REVIEW | Marben Restaurant on Wellington for dinner with some foodies from Zomato Toronto

Marben Restaurant has always been on my list but for some reason, I have yet to try - so when Zomato's foodie dinner was at this restaurant, I was beyond excited.  Marben is well known for its farm-to-table menu that is constantly evolving, and mostly catering to the after work crowd in the King West neighbourhood. Once home to Top Chef Carl Heinrich, this locally driven restaurant has been led by Executive Chef, Rob Bragagnolo . He grew up in a family of chefs, spending his summers in Italy working at family owned restaurants and pastry factory until he moved to Spain to professionally enhance his skills and techniques. There, he worked at Michelin-stared restaurants before heading to Toronto, Canada, the city he grew up in. His previous years in Spain & Italy is evident in the current menu, which reflects Spanish & Northern Italy flavours and style. The space inside and outside (including a street-side patio) are both beautiful, with wooden benches, exposed brick, mustard...
