It was by special invitation that we went to Harbour 60 to see the renovations and sample the new menu. What is described is an evening which will rank with some of the unforgettable ones in my lifetime. Yes, it was that good.

Does the name Lynn Crawford ring any bells? Think hard! Lynn was the Executive chef of the Four Seasons here in Toronto. She held the same position with the same establishment in New York City and at the time was the ONLY executive chef who was a female in their 70 restaurants world-wide.

Located downstairs at 70 Yorkville, Chimichanga is the newest and best Mexican restaurant in Toronto. Sister to the Yonge and Eglinton eatery, this smaller and quieter version has a similar menu but is just a little more chic than uptown.

If you grew up in Toronto and are a boomer you will remember The Lobster Trap. Located a couple of blocks north of Lawrence on Avenue Road, this was one of a few places we all went for a fancy Sunday night for dinner. The lineups went outside the door and if you were like most families you didn’t make a reservation. But the wait was worth it. That was 30 years ago or more.

Every once in a while, even a foodie is exposed to some taste sensations that are new, unique and absolutely tantalizing. Such is the new fusion of Japanese and Korean currently being served up at Koko on Yorkville.

St. Clair West is in a state of transition. The new street car system is finally finished and whether or not you are a fan of this so-called improvement along St. Clair, you can take solace that some wonderful new eating establishments have emerged west of Bathurst and east of Dufferin.
