On a rare weekday day off, I made my way to Mayfair Espresso in the city for lunch. At 12:15pm, it was surprisingly calm — just myself and one other diner — a nice change of pace from the usual rush. The menu immediately caught my attention with its Asian-fusion twist. Dishes like Tom Yum […] Read more…

I’ve been to André’s a few times now, and it’s quickly become one of my go-to spots in Weston Creek for Italian cuisine. This classy little bistro offers a relaxed yet refined dining experience that never disappoints.

Note: We were invited to Seoul Sistaz, however all opinions are my own. Seoul Sistaz is a Korean café in Civic, right on the corner of Mort Street and Barry Drive.

I love Italian food. It is my absolute favourite cuisine! So it is very surprising that I haven’t tried Mezzalira until earlier this year. We had a nice birthday lunch here mid-week so it wasn’t too busy. Think white tablecloths in a nice bistro-style setting, waitstaff in white shirts and white aprons, all right in […] Read more…
