Thoughts on Summerlicious: Jump – 18 Wellington St. W. – (416) 363-3400

  Toronto’s Summerlicious ended yesterday. Now, I have never been too big of a fan, and  feel that most guys think along the same lines… small portions, limited menu selections, and a dessert course that’s of little-to-no interest. Well, my wife booked us in for a $35, three-course Price-fixe at O&B’s Jump, and my thoughts on Summerlicious have changed. And though…

Bistro 243 – 243 King St. E – (647) 350-8800

  Tucked away on downtown’s east side is Bistro 243; a place that teeters on the edge of tying to be gourmet, while being rife with well-priced cuisine.

A line-up out the door at lunch intimates that we should probably make a reservation if we want to get a spot for dinner.

New Bilan Restaurant – 183 Dundas St. East – (416) 943-0330

I write this blog entry as my wife and I pack-up and get ready to move. With pots, pans and utensils in boxes, only the best take-away will do tonight. I had eaten in the dining room at New Bilan once before, and although the food was fantastic, I couldn’t help but notice that ordering…
