I was quite excited to learn that The Melting Pot opened an location in the uptown area. I went there for dessert as I was told by a friend to save money on the meal as all meal components were very disappointing.You do need to allow at least 2 hours to enjoy this fondue. To start off we were not served by our server for about 15 minutes, we were then told she was busy and had ......
Came here to celebrate my brother's birthday with the family, and since I've been here several times before, I knew what to expect. The place itself is in a neighbourhood, I would never venture over there if not for the dinner. It was not a busy night, but the waiters were never around. The theme of the night was empty water glasses. The food was good, the steaks were delicious......
You know you live in Canada when you can make authentic maple taffy on snow. Maple taffy, or tire sur la neigh is traditionally made from pure maple syrup, that is heated, and poured on crushed ice or snow.This brings back memories from school trips we had to Quebec in the winter– the whole class would run up to street vendors and wait in line to pour their own tire sur la nei......
There are a few Build-A-Bear workshops in Toronto, I’ve only had experience of the Vaughan Mills branch. The store itself is fairly small and can get very crowded, especially at the weekend and during school holidays, so unless you’re planning on taking a school age child to build their bear then I would definitely recommend visiting during school hours. As the shop is quite sm......
We had a great time at Grand Coco Bay, first time in Mexico. The resort was ok for the money. The staff was super friendly, there were plenty of events on site and the location was perfect. This resort is steps away from the beach and 5 minutes from downtown. We were lucky that we got upgraded to an ocean view room. Just being in Mexico on vacation with an ocean front room......
Really don't have any complaints about MIA... We were in transit to Cancun. The lines were short, both for check-in and security. The airport is very large and the lay out of the airport is confusing, but there are maps located throughout the airport to guide you. If you are connecting, amke sure you leave plenty of time for this one. Nothing is close or convenient. This......
Vaughan Mills is pretty fancy inside with huge aisles, large leather benches and carpeted walkways. Most of the stores are outlet shops so the prices are amazing. I think it's a good spot for the basics, like suits, dress pants, blazers, plain shirts. They also have a ton of brand name stores from Hugo Boss, Holt Renfrew LASTCALL, Lacosse, Town Shoes and MUCH MUCH MORE! The th......
I've been to Cafe Demetre many many times. The desserts are amazing. They're reasonably priced, large portioned, and the cakes/crepes/waffles are always fresh. Demetre offers a wide variety of desserts. The menu is a full three panel - front and back - array of original creations, ranging from the unique and beautiful Lazy Sundaes to the Scoop du Jour - one or two scoops wit......
I don't usually buy donuts, but Oh my God, Krispy Kreme Donuts are addictive. They are soft, fluffy, and they melt in your mouth. One word, DELICIOUS! They have many different flavor, but my favourite one is the original glazed. One time I bought a box of dozen and I ate 6 of them in one sitting… I had to stop myself from eating the whole box at once. Drive through and ge......
SO Guuuuud. and worth the wait.We waited for about 45 minutes on a Thursday night (we got there at 7:45 and waited til 8:30). Another choice is to go exactly at 5pm when they open.Guu isn't a place to have a quiet, romantic date, but it's a great place if you want to smile and feel happy -- the chefs and servers' enthusiasm is infectious. As you enter and leave, you're greeted ......
