Maman is a warm and inviting bakery and cafe that brings familial recipes to life from Southern France and North America using locally sourced ingredients. Every little detail – from the exterior to the tables and plates – is beautifully set up as if one is in a quaint Parisian boutique
The long awaited arrival of Vancouver based Cactus Club has recently opened its doors after much anticipation in the heart of Toronto’s Financial District. They brought with them the West Coast vibe, excellent customer service and a global culinary cuisine led by Rob Feenie, Canada’s first Iron Chef America champion by defeating chef Masaharu Morimoto.
Perfect for escaping the cubicle life in the Financial District, Maman offers a convenient rustic French getaway conveniently located at the newly renovated mezzanine in First Canadian Place taking over a Szechuan Szechuan restaurant.
Maman Toronto follows after opening just nine months ago in New York City with a bunch of accolades including the honour of “An Indulgent Cookie for Any Season” by the New York Times.
There’s nothing quite like a dinner and a show. Or, at least that’s what it felt like. John and I went to Hy’s Steakhouse to visit their posh Toronto location in the financial district for their Tableside Service experience. There’s no extra fee for diners to request this and it’s been a staple at their restaurants all across Canada for years.
Just before TIFF, America Restaurant opened in the heart of Toronto’s financial district, halfway up the Trump Hotel Toronto on the 31st floor. Formerly Stock Restaurant, it was reborn through the partnership of INK Entertainment and Oliver & Bonancini Restaurants, undergoing a complete transformation in less than two weeks. On Thursday, November 6th, we were invited to discover the tastes that America had to offer.
