[Toronto] Korean Village Restaurant

Review Location:
628 Bloor St W
Toronto, ON M6G 1K7




Not too long ago a bunch of other food enthusiasts had a spontaneous craving to go for Korean barbeque. That, coupled with the fact that there was one among us that has never tried pork bone soup before, gave way for discussion to have Korean food for dinner. Word became plans, plans became actions, and these actions ultimately became another food adventure! So off I went with  Justine (@foodigatorJ), Joie (@zoeticepics), Charles (@charleslaw), and Kat S, to Korean Village Restaurant located in Toronto's Koreatown. While there are an overwhelming number of options in the area for Korea food, you really can't visually miss this restaurant. They have a huge lit up yellow sign to let you know that you've come to the right place.

Last week Danny (@Danny_MB) Cammi (@CammiPham), Melissa (@star_chronicles), and I had a girls night out at MoRoCo (@MorocoChocolat)! Nothing beats going for some fancy food and chocolate fondue :)

"Restaurant Today, Condos Tommorrow. When? Who knows? so come and get it!" This is literally the first thing I see on a sign walking into the restaurant. And I think it does a good job summing up Come and Get It! (@comeandgetit416) the newest grab-and-go sandwich joint at Spadina and Queen. Having only opened for just a couple months, it's fated to be turned into a Condo project sometime this year. I have it say its an unfortunate decree -- the food was great!

MENU

Joey Don Mills is located in Toronto's very first open air shopping centre, Shoppes at Don Mills. This is the second Joey Restaurants location in Ontario, the first one being next to The Eaton Centre. Offering a casual fine dining environment and a reasonably priced ethnically diverse menu, it's no wonder they become as popular as they have!

Pimenton Giveaway Contest [closed]

I'm always down for dessert, chocolate, and whatever other  sweets! I think Chef Jose must've picked up on this because on behalf of Pimenton he has generously agreed to donate a whole cake (the lovely Santiago Almond Cake that I tried during his Paella class) to one lucky reader!






Win me, win me! :)


I decided to up the number of prizes to 4 by giving away 3 of these cute little personal-sized paella cooking kit. It includes the key essentials you need to cook the perfect paella: bomba rice, oilive oil, Pimenton hot paprika, and a flat bottom paella pan.

Paella for one? No problemo.

E11even Menu

Brought to you by the same makers of Toronto's most popular sports bar: Real Sports Bar & Grill, comes a rather elegant and sophisticated restaurant. E11even (@E11evenToronto) is located  just outside of the Air Canada Center and provides a fine dining experience of North American cuisine.  They have a lot to boast here. They have an exquisite menu, dazzling venue, relaxing summer patio, very friendly staff, and is home to Canada's only female Master sommelier . Even their washrooms are something they are proud about (more on this later)!
