Drinks. Appetizer. Main Course. Dessert. All along with a bit of information about what makes them our choice for Daniel’s Dish and why you should try them right away!

Touro Churrascaria, 125 York Boulevard (905)-738-6876

So here’s the thing about this one ladies and gentlemen, Touro is located in Richmond Hill. But do you really think I would take the time to write about a restaurant north of the city if it wasn’t completely worth the trip? C’mon now. You should know better than that!

El Catrin Destileria, 18 Tank House Lane. (416) 203-2121

Recently, I had the pleasure of joining El Catrin Destileria for an intimate preview of what this new restaurant in Toronto’s Historic Distillery District has to offer. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I’m a huge fan of Latin food of all kinds. But, when I found out that Chef Olivier Le Calvez had come on board all the way from Mexico City to bring his authentic Mexican menu to this gorgeous new space, I knew I was in for a treat. Bringing French, Asian and Mexican influences to his menu, Chef Le Calvez helps create El Catrin’s innovative dishes to pair with the beauty of the restaurant alongside the beauty of his food.

WVRST, 609 King Street West. (416) 703-7775

Julio and I had the chance to visit WVRST on King West for our latest Daniel’s Dish and I have to be honest, I couldn’t be more impressed with this concept. Niche restaurants at times get old, quick, but I don’t see that happening for this hot spot in the city core. WVRST brings you that King West feeling of fresh & lively without the, let’s be honest, douchiness and arrogance that can ruin a great experience. Continue reading “Daniel’s Dish | WVRST”

I’m very excited to be sharing my very first Daniel’s Dish, my newest column for FASHIONIGHTS which helps (hopefully you), find the latest and greatest restaurants in Toronto. The premise of the column is simple; work with restaurants of all kinds in this amazing city to explore what they have to offer and what makes them unique. In a city like Toronto, the choices are sometimes daunting and the food reviews and critics can be snotty and too complicated for their own good. So why not keep this easy?

Drinks. Appetizer. Main Course. Dessert. All along with a bit of information about what makes them the week’s Daniel’s Dish and why you should try them right away!

KITCH Bar, 229 Geary Ave. (647) 350-4555

KITCH Bar is off the beaten track in more ways then one and fun in all the right ways. I wasn’t quite sure what to make of the space but slowly started finding little touches and quirks that left me intrigued. From the hand drawn wall-art in Sharpie by owner, Bryan Jackson to the old speakers that line the bar – add some uncomplicated furnishings and you have that hipster Queen Street vibe without the grunge or newly adopted pretention.
