We also got a small box of assorted chocolates (a few milk and a few dark). They were very good. The peanut butter and caramel chocolate were probably our favourite. There was unfortunately only one person working there and she had to duck into the back to make the hot chocolate where she couldn't see other customers coming in. Thus in doing so missed out on a customer who got tired of waiting. We would suggest to management that they move the beverage preparation to the front so any in coming customers can be greeted with a smile.

This was our first meal in Toronto and our favorite!!! The fried bassa with the green curry is…read moresomething I still dream about. The Khao soi was also really good. We tried to walk in around 7:30 on a weeknight and the wait was about an hour so we got pick up instead and it was still delicious. The interior did look very cool and fun and large. There were stairs to go up and one very old elevator. We went to both locations during our trip and they tasted pretty much the same! We actually liked this interior better than the one downtown.

Pai, with various locations, is an acclaimed Thai restaurant and reservations can be difficult to…read moremake! I reserved a month in advance for my husband and I to eat at 6:00, and the restaurant steadily filled up during the course of our dinner. This, on a Monday night, is surprising, and a testimony to Pai's popularity. The interior of the restaurant is quite beautiful and welcoming, betraying its somewhat sketchy location above the Rose and Crown Pub. Sure enough, we were not disappointed by our meal. We started with some deep fried tofu bites, and these were really crispy and a delicious way to prepare tofu. It was a perfect, light appetizer. Then, on to the main course: My husband ordered Chicken Pad See Ew, and it had the thickest noodles that I'd ever seen in this dish. I wasn't sure what to expect! I tried a bite, and it was so tasty, with a variety of textures and a slightly smoky flavour. The thick noodles were beautifully cooked and complemented the dish very well. To my surprise, it was one of the better renditions of Pad See Ew (my usual go-to at Thai restaurants) that I've tried. I ordered the Khao Soi, with both shrimp and tofu (they kindly obliged, with an extra charge for the shrimp). This was unlike anything I'd ever seen, and its presentation was spectacular, with it's golden curry sauce and plume of fried egg noodles. My first several bites were superb: the fragrant, coconut flavored curry sauce perfectly complemented the noodles, shrimp and particularly the toful. On another occasion, I think that I would just order the tofu. Eventually, I found the richness of the sauce too have overwhelmed me, and I took the rest home. With its really spectacular amount of coconut curry sauce, it was excellent the next day with some additional tofu and steamed rice. All in all, very satisfactory, and our waiter was really pleasant and informative about the food. Was it worth reserving a month in advance? I'd say yes, it was, as Pai presents an excellent interpretation of Thai food, and the presentation of the the Khao Soi alone was worth the wait! Not to mention, we had a whole meal the next day from the leftovers! We will come back when we are in the area, if we can get in!!

Nutrition Village is a tiny little health food store located inside the Yonge & Eglinton Centre on…read morethe first floor. They have a nice selection of vitamins, minerals, other supplements, bulk foods and more. I'm surprised how much they've been able to pack into their little space. I really like their cosmetic section. They have a ton of natural products from brands such as Jason, Derma E, Kiss my Face and more. They have products here that I have not seen in other places such as Noah's; the prices are way less too! The price for vitamins and other supplements are generally less compared to other health foods stores as well, but the bulk food is a bit pricey. They do not sell any produce. The place is not too organized and it can take time to find what you're looking for. The staff here is not helpful and they don't offer any help. They seem to be pretty distracted with personal matters such as talking on the phone or blankly looking at the walls. You're pretty much on your own here. I'll come back here because they have most of my vitamins, other supplements and natural beauty products for less here. If you need any recommendation for health products, I would skip this place.

Stumbled upon this place (in a relatively quiet location on Mount Pleasant) when I was looking for…read morean early Mother's Day gift. What a serendipitous discovery! I ordered their pastiera napoletana after the owner recommended it as a dessert which was not too sweet and unequivocally stated that he made one of the best in the city. He was definitely right to be confident. Light and fragrant, the smooth aroma of the orange balanced very well with the crispy, delicate crust. I only got in a few bites before the rest was devoured by my family. It is a slightly expensive treat, but one I can see myself not being able to resist on future special occasions. Speaking of the owner, what a charming and delightful character! Extremely amiable and welcoming, giving the place the vibe of an authentic Italian bakery. Give this underrated spot a try!

Sweetcultura may have just become my favourite Italian bakery in the city (and with all the amazing…read moreoptions here, that's saying something). It basically boils down to this: Chef Andrea knows his flavours. You could put a blindfold on me and I'd be able to tell you what flavour the cannoli or cookie is - it's that distinct and powerful and satisfying. My wife and I have had stuff delivered twice now, and both times were a big hit with our tastebuds and tummies. We got: - Cannolis: All assortments of flavours (I liked the ricotta, tiramisu and amarena ones the most). The filling was consistently smooth and creamy, and the shell was perfectly crunchy. - Cookies: Tried the mango cream and coconut ones. But were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. And wow did the flavours burst when you bit into them. - Chocolate Babka: A tad dry on the edges (though the inside was moist) but I loooooooooved how much dark chocolate there was swirling in and around the whole loaf. - Strawberry Tart (mini): Good amount of strawberries, really smooth base cream, and the shell was melt-in-your-mouth awesome. - Bolognese Lasagna and Garlic Bread: The lasagna was super cheesy, which I love. And the garlic bread, despite being delivered, tasted freshly baked and had just the right amount of garlic. Also, at $17 for a small tray of lasagna (good for 2-3 people), it was definitely great value for money. In addition, they gave us a couple of free mini samples to try: - Linzer Torte: Good quality raspberry jam with a nice nutty crust. - Torta Ricotta, Mascarpone and Chocolate Chips: Just the lightness of the cheese mixed with the sweet hits of the chocolate chips was a great balance. As you can see, we've tried quite a lot of the stuff on their menu, and every single one of them was a hit. That's really really hard to do. Sweetcultura's world may revolve around sweets, but its culture is surely grounded in excellence.

4216 Dundas Street West location: Bait and Switch tactics…read more Today I received a flyer in the mail from Marche Leo's Dundas street West Etobicoke location. The flyer advertised Sponge Towel Ultra paper towels at $4.99 for a pack of 6 rolls. The sale started today. Within 15 minutes of receiving the flyer I was at the store. Of course, there were no Sponge Towels and the shelf could, at most, hold 4 packages. I asked staff for a rain check. I paid for $50 worth of items while I waited for the raincheck. They refused to offer me a raincheck. In fact, they didn't even know what a raincheck was and claimed they have never heard the term. They took advantage of me with a classic bait and switch tactic. I will never return to that store. There's nothing there of interest either. Bruno's is far superior and in the same area.
