Roncy revival for former BOHO staffers

The popular Roncesvalles Avenue restaurant Boho may be closed, but there are high hopes for the space’s new inhabitants, Melissa Fox-Revett and Julia Young.

The former Boho staff members have combined forces and have launched their own culinary venture, Blue Plate.

“We are so happy to be back in the space. We’ve always loved the community here and opening Blue Plate feels like we’re coming home again,” says Young, the former Boho sous-chef, who will be taking centre stage in the new restaurant’s kitchen as chef.

Blue Plate is open for dinner Tuesday to Saturday and brunch on Sunday. All dinner menu items are under $20.

Blue Plate is located at 392 Roncesvalles Ave., 647-977-6523.

Authentic tacos worth the drive north of the city

Recently, a friend told me about a fast food place in a mall food court where I could get authentic Mexican tacos. When I heard how far away the location was, northwest of Highway 400 and Finch Avenue, I was a bit discouraged. However, my food curiosity won out and I headed up to check it out.
