I was craving waffles one morning so took the opportunity to try the Belgian kind I’d heard so much about at Manuel Latruwe.

The bakery sells flaky croissants, fresh bread and sweet pastries at the counter. But you can also order off their short breakfast/lunch menu for eating in the cafe.

In my pursuit of chicken and waffles, I checked out Harlem Underground, whose former incarnation was an old favourite Jamaican place called Irie. Its owners went back in time and emerged as a Southern restaurant /live space inspired by the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s.

The Richmond night market is a totally fun outing on a summer night, and growing so quickly that it’s now in its third location in less than a decade.

I took the streetcar down Dundas Street West keeping my eye out among the storefronts in Little Portugal for Saving Grace. On a weekend, you can’t miss it because there’s a lineup out the door.

It’s tiny, seating maybe 25 and that’s including bar stools at a counter. Here’s the most important thing: there’s a [...]
