A Hilary Duff-Approved Toronto Food Itinerary, Courtesy of Streets Of Toronto Back in January, Hilary Duff did what basically anyone touring with a new album does now: posted a food video and asked the internet for recommendations. From London, mid-bite on a salt beef bagel at the famous Beigel Bake, she asked what she should […]
This Toronto Couple’s Wedding Was Catered Entirely by Swiss Chalet — and Dippy Made an Appearance Most couples spend months agonizing over flowers, venues and colour palettes. Sharla and Sean skipped all of that in favour of something far more personal: a wedding built entirely around their shared love of Swiss Chalet. The Toronto couple’s […]
Seven Farm-to-Table Experiences in Ontario Worth the Drive Toronto has spent decades importing the province’s harvest onto its restaurant tables — a movement chefs like Michael Stadtländer and Jamie Kennedy helped pioneer, proving that Ontario-grown ingredients could hold their own against imported prestige. These days, the trend has flipped. Rather than bring the farm to […]
A Chef’s Guide to Eating Like a Local in Prince Edward County Prince Edward County has spent the last decade building a reputation as one of Ontario’s great weekend escapes — a place where vineyards roll down toward Lake Ontario and farm-to-table tasting menus have become the norm rather than the exception.

Don’s Bakery Is Back — Thanks to a 24-Year-Old Who Grew Up Behind the Counter Some businesses are so woven into a region’s identity that their closure feels less like a business story and more like a death in the family.

We’re talking Indian, Tamil, Sri Lankan, Chinese, Caribbean, Filipino, Korean and South Asian food, often packed into plazas and neighbourhood […]
Toronto summers have two speeds: Way too hot and why-is-it-this-hot? When the temperature climbs, forget about another iced coffee. You need something FREEZING. We’re talking slushies, frozen lemonades, fruit coolers, smoothies and giant icy drinks that make your brain immediately forget that you were complaining about the heat five minutes ago.

Let’s be honest. There comes a point in every semester when you look at your campus food and think: “I cannot eat another sandwich.” Good news: you don’t have to. A short trip to Kensington Market opens up an entire food universe—Caribbean, Mexican, Chinese, Middle Eastern, vegetarian, vegan, bakery, street food and everything in between. […]
Let’s settle one of the most important debates in Toronto: Who has the best pizza? Not the fanciest pizza. Not the pizza with the most ridiculous toppings.
