Looks are deceiving. The bright yellow sign with flashing lights would lead you to believe this restaurant is more casual or even a pub. This is not so. This modern venue has Mediterranean flavour that will keep you coming back. They don't let their menu go stale! They change it up every few months to introduce new dishes and flavours, so what you see here, might not be on the menu anymore! 

We started off with Bread and Olives. The bread was so fresh and hot, we had to wait. We kept burning our fingers because it smelled so good, that we couldn't hold back!  

I went with the Beef Wellington. When people say 'it melts in your mouth,' they are not exaggerating. It was tender, moist and seasoned perfectly. They use Wellington County beef and it is fantastic. One of my friends had the Market Fish with Pasta. Nothing but bones were left on his plate! At the time, there were mostly seafood entrees on the menu and a few of my friends were not really fish eaters. When the expressed this to our server, the chef had no problem preparing a pasta dish for them! Amazing! 



After a delicious appetizer AND entrée, how could I pass up dessert? I have two words for you: Chocolate Mousse. You NEED this in your life. When I have a chocolate craving, THIS is what I think about. It was light and a chocoholic dream. Most of my friends went with the Crème Brulee with Almost Shortbread. They loved it so much, no one wanted to let me try. 


Everything about this restaurant is amazing. The food to the service to the atmosphere, this is something you need to try. It won't be your last visit!

New! Portly Piper Pub - Oshawa

Image
A new location for the Portly Piper Pub is recently opened in Oshawa. Replacing the dated restaurant, Stav's, it will freshen up the corner of Wilson and Hwy 2. Offering lunch, dinner and breakfast, this gastropub will be a great option for the area. They even have craft beer!
Much like their Ajax location, it has a vast menu. This is one of the few restaurants that actually does everything well. Many new places try to do too much and it all ends up being mediocre. They use quality ingredients and the only complaint I have is that I ate too much. :P My father, grandmother and I went for supper the weekend before the grand opening. It's a big menu. One of those menus you need to make a choice and close it so you don't change your mind. My Nan went with the Mushroom Chicken Penne, my Dad had the Bowl of Seafood and I had the Nacho Burger with fries.  Tiger shrimp, lobster, PEI mussels and scallops served in a lightly spiced white wine tomato sauce. So savoury! My Nan was takin…

An old favourite, a classic even. Chatterpaul's has been a special occasion venue for me. With the amazing food and service, it always has me coming back. I have never heard a negative comment about it, except the prices. However, I believe the prices are absolutely worth it. Fresh ingredients and perfect portions are what makes this place irresistible.


I have an addiction to the Stuffed Chicken Breast. I've had it almost every time. It's full of red peppers, asparagus and cheeses like asiago and jalapeno jack. Amazing. My cousin is addicted to the Chicken Parmesan. I've never seen her try anything else. A chicken breast smothered in five cheeses atop a pile of fresh(and I do mean fresh) pasta in a basil marinara sauce. Her and I eat dinner in silence bec…
