Daniel’s Dish | SpeakEasy 21

The premise of the column is simple; work with restaurants of all kinds 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 my choice for Daniel’s Dish and why you should try them right away!

Toronto | Winterlicious 2014

One of my favourite foodie seasons is about to get on its way and Toronto is all abuzz about this year’s participants.  Winterlicious 2014 runs from January 31 – February 13th and offers restaurant patrons the opportunity to try some of the best the city has to offer.

With over 200 Restaurants participating this year, a Prix Fixe menu style of dinning will have your mouth watering and now is the time to book your table!  For those of you who are joining for the first time, each Restaurant will be creating a Winterlicious menu for a fixed price which samples their unique style & dishes. It is, in my opinion, one of the best ways to sample the restaurants you have always wanted to in a way that won’t cost you a fortune. Continue reading “Toronto | Winterlicious 2014”

Daniel’s Dish | The Carbon Bar

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 my choice for Daniel’s Dish and why you should try them right away!

The Carbon Bar, 99 Queen Street East (416) 947-7000

The First Daniel’s Dish of 2014 has arrived, and The Carbon Bar has set the bar high. Sister restaurant to the Toronto hot spot Nota Bene (see my review of their G&T program here), The Carbon Bar is quickly making a name for itself in the food world. Windows looking into the enormous space are suggestively dressed with disco balls and glitz that grab your attention amid the hustle and bustle of Queen Street. When you walk into the space, your eyes are drawn immediately to the incredible height of the ceiling and the enormity of the restaurant from one end to the other. The decor is nothing short of breath taking in its complexity and elegance. I have no other way to describe the juxtaposition of colour and texture other then a medley with something to look at everywhere you turn. I would go so far as to say it is a sensory overload in all the right ways. Continue reading “Daniel’s Dish | The Carbon Bar”

Daniel’s Dish | Destingo

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.

Destingo, 741 Queen St. West (647)-748-3113

As you can tell, Daniel’s Dish is becoming quite the busy little column for me over the last few months; the feedback has been incredible, the restaurants all unique in their own right and the people I have met, positively exquisite. This Daniel’s Dish will mark the last for 2013. As the Holidays are around the corner, I hope that you all get to enjoy what Destingo brings to the Toronto Restaurant scene.

Relatively new on the Queen West strip, Destingo is nestled into an area which for a long time wasn’t the best place to be in Toronto after dark. Thanks to a lot of love, and beautiful establishments like this one, the Gallery District is rejuvenating and blossoming into a cultural hub and meeting of the minds.
