On February 17th we attended Winter Provisions – a private seasonal food and drink popup presented by Provisions Catering and Events. It was an event intended to showcase the Provisions artisan menu from executive chef and co-owner Kevin Castonguay, formerly of Grace restaurant.

More and more, young professionals are getting involved in charitable causes, and so what a great idea it was for the Children’s Aid Foundation to conceive an event targeted at young professionals. Hence, the first ever Suitcase Party was born, held at The Citizen on February 11th, 2015. It was a very exclusive event, with only 650 tickets available which sold out quickly.

The stylish and happening 2nd Floor Events only opened in 2013, and has quickly become one of Toronto’s most popular event venues located above popular ping-pong venue SPIN at King West. Just last year, we were at 2nd Floor for several occasions, including The Tastemakers book launch, the inaugural Taste of Toronto preview, and the Open Wines Party. Now, 2nd Floor Events is taking it up to another level, with the launch of their own in-house catering service.

It’s that time of the year again – we’re in the middle of winter, dreaming of warmer weather to come. Thankfully, winter also means that one of our favourite Toronto culinary events is here – Winterlicious! It’s when restaurants from all over the city offer three course, prix-fixe menus, allowing you to discover places you’ve always wanted to try, or might not have even known about. We’re here to give you a preview of the Winterlicious dinner menu of one…

Montecito opened its doors late last summer, and this winter Montecito has launched a new brunch experience as part of their new weekly programming. Last Sunday, we had the chance to check it out. For only $35, you too can try the new brunch buffet at Montecito, and this is no ordinary buffet.

CityPlace is as urban as a Toronto neighbourhood gets, and so the addition of a rustic Italian trattoria is exactly what this neighbourhood needed. Città brings traditional Italian dining, with its simple ingredients and time-honoured culinary techniques, to this bustling neighbourhood, and based on our experience, it’s surely to become a favourite among the neighbourhood locals and Torontonians alike.
