Weekly Restaurant Recap rounds up the week’s Toronto restaurant news. In this edition: a new seafood restaurant on Queen West, Peruvian cuisine at Yonge and Lawrence, a new spot fot barbecue in the Annex and more.
In compiling her annual top 100 Toronto restaurants list, veteran food critic Joanne Kates ate out — a lot. Below, we’ve put together her favourite foodie finds, from the city’s best pizza to its top wait staff.
There are only a few stores in Toronto that are decidedly Canadian in spirit, but Francesco Fiore and Pamela Hopson are hoping to generate enthusiasm towards our home and native land with their new Parkdale store, North Standard Trading Post.
For those seeking a smart, thoughtful and experimental diversion from the bombastic, spectacle-filled and cliché-driven Hollywood fare that is being served up in movie theatres as summer approaches, TIFF Bell Lightbox has something special for you.
A New Zealand Sauvignon at its most stripped down and tangy. Pale straw in colour, it has a bouquet of green fig and elderberry. The wine is medium-bodied, crisply dry, elegant with tart flavours of gooseberry and elderberry. Long finish.
It’s Thursday, and the weekend is fast approaching. Need stuff to see or do? We’ve got you covered. In this edition, the debut of giant pandas, a circus fest at Harbourfront, Victoria Day fireworks and more.
After less than two years, east-end gastropub Le Canard Mort has closed. Its final day of service was April 27.

Their sound is original, their lead singer is original and, as Wednesday night’s ACC show proved, their live performances are certainly original.
It’s a truism that salty snacks encourage beer drinking, but what if there were a way to put the salt right in the beer? Turns out that the German brewers of Goslar, near Leipzig, figured this out hundreds of years ago. The Gose river that runs through the town has enough dissolved mineral salts to give a distinctive salty flavour to the wheat ale from that region, which is known, appropriately, as Gose.
