Tantra Lounge, Bar and Grill
“Indian Fusion” an intriguing concept that brings us into this new bar and grill on St. Clair at Dufferin.

Roast Stirs Appetite to Eat at Home
Roast Butcher and Fine Foods has recently been opened on St. Clair W by Ben Latchford, an experienced butcher and a 5th generation Torontonian. Prominently displayed at the front is an enlargement of a photo by his mother, Canadian photographer Joan Latchford, which was originally exhibited at Expo 67…

Pukka
In our continuing search for quality restaurants that we can walk to in the neighbourhood a group of us recently tried Pukka, the new Indian-inspired restaurant in the west end.

The Stop Market Café

We begin with coffee and then make our way through aisles, lingering at vendors’ tables, sampling, chatting and learning along the way as we read whatever is posted. We always seem to find new and different fresh produce, yummy baked goods, and a variety of savory treats. On our last visit we followed a sign…
