A love of shoes and fried chicken on Oscar night is just part of my friendship with Shawna who hasn’t lived in the same city as me for years. So when we do get to meet up, we look for a great restaurant where we can feast and catch up. Since she eats mostly vegan, [...]
When we visited my sister in Toronto, J happened to be on a diet of no gluten, no sugar, and no yeast. She miraculously found a fantastic place for lunch that fit that bill called Zocalo. We thought it was a short walk from her place. But it was one of those stinky, humid Toronto [...] I love breakfast/brunch. I hate lineups. Red Wagon Cafe is lined up to the yazoo on weekends.

Open for lunch and dinner Tuesday to Sunday. Whoever says Ottawa is a sleepy place hasn’t gone to some of the city’s newer restaurants. Fraser Café is leading the charge of eateries led by confident, young chefs. Two brothers, Simon and Ross Fraser, run the restaurant and the kitchen. Their first venture was so successful they had to close their first location to find [...] |
