I have not been to Vi’s for Pies, a restaurant in Edmonton, for many years. A couple of months ago we went with friends for dessert after eating at another restaurant. Then again, I was just there for a special birthday lunch with some friends.
It was Seth’s ( our son) birthday & he wanted to go to VIVO Restorante Downtown, 10505-106 Street, for dinner. Well, it did not disappoint. Located behind Rogers Place, perhaps a 5 minute walk to the arena, it is a great destination for dinner before an event or game at Rogers Place. There are 3 different eating areas at Vivo. They have the whole building. … Continue reading VIVO Restorante Downtown Edmonton

Visiting our aunt and uncle in Toronto we needed a place to go for lunch. Luckily the restaurant that they wanted to go to was closed so we went to Cafe Landwer. The restaurant was full but luckily we didn’t have to wait too long to get a table. Looking around at what everyone else was eating helped us make decisions about what to order. … Continue reading Cafe Landwer in Toronto

I have been to Cafe Mosiacs , located at 10844 82 Avenue, Edmonton, twice in the last 2 weeks! I don’t know why it has taken me so long to get there! The food was delicious. The first time I went I had the Huevos Rancheros and my friend had the Vegan Scramble. Each of us ordered the Mellow Yellow, which is a sweet turmeric … Continue reading Cafe Mosiacs
We went out for dinner with friends tonight to a relatively new restaurant on 124 street. Nuovo Bistro We had made a reservation but didn’t really need it because we were the only 6 people in the whole restaurant. When we went to go in we thought maybe we shouldn’t since it was empty and that can’t be a good sign. But we decided to … Continue reading Nuovo Bistro Edmonton

If you find yourself in … Continue reading Lee Restaurant in Toronto
