Discovering Crown Royal's unique blend

"Woah," I gasp under my breath as the van hits a pothole and I’m jolted in my seat. The road to Gimli, Manitoba, is bumpy at times, but my destination is alluring enough that I don’t mind. The community on the edge of Lake Winnipeg, about an hour from the capital city, is home to the sprawling Crown Royal distillery.

You know her as the ambitious and talented owner of one of Toronto's most iconic restaurants, Pai — but before her success, chef Nuit Regular came from humble beginnings. Regular began cooking as a child and was first introduced to the restaurant industry as a kitchen helper in street restaurants. She spent nearly a decade working as a nurse in Pai, Thailand, before making her first foray into the culinary world as a restaurateur.

Toronto’s Old Town is having a moment, and The Berczy Tavern is right at the heart of the neighbourhood’s glow-up. Tucked around the corner from the St. Lawrence Market and its newly revamped North Market, the restaurant has quietly become one of downtown’s most charming spots.
This whole animal butchery is carving up the best food in the province

2 weeks ago | foodism.to | Katie Bridges |Daniel Neuhaus

I wasn’t expecting my best meal of 2025 to be found in St. Catharines, but chef Zach Smith is doing something magical 25 minutes south of Niagara-on-the-Lake. The restaurant in an unassuming strip mall is at once a butchery, cozy eatery and retail space where diners and shoppers can pick up ragu for the road.
Why aren't we drinking Ontario wine?

2 weeks ago | foodism.to | Taylor Newlands

Wine terminology flies around the room faster than I can grab onto. It’s not just tasting notes and tannins, which I can usually guess my way through. We’re talking technical — yeast inoculation and dozens of other things I don’t understand. I’m a wine “enthusiast,” let’s say — I love to drink wine, and I want to understand why I like what I like. But I’m in way over my head as the only journalist amongst a group of wine professionals today. How do you picture a group like this?
This under-the-radar downtown Toronto restaurant is teeming with plants and local flavours

3 weeks ago | foodism.to | Taylor Newlands

I've long loved 1 Hotel Toronto for its environmental focus, reclaimed wood furniture and the oodles of live plants adorning the property. It's also got its fare share of drinking and dining destinations — Casa Madera gets all the hype for its vibey atmosphere and Harriet's Rooftop offers one of the best patios in Toronto. But the stunning Flora Lounge in the lobby and the adjacent 1 Kitchen remain relatively under the radar.

This cocktail from Bangkok’s Vesper Bar is your newest obsession

1 month ago | foodism.to | Katie Bridges |Brandon Barre |Brandon Barré

We've been obsessed with finding the perfect martini for a while now, and for good reason: The ice-cold icon is one of the world’s most versatile and recognizable tipples. However, we're ready to graduate to something new, and with the help of one of Bangkok's best bartenders, we think we've found it. The vesper cocktail is a spin on the classic martini, which uses gin, vodka and Lillet Blanc, shaken, not stirred, and garnished with a lemon peel.
No Vacancy serves sultry sippers on Ossington

1 month ago | foodism.to | Hunter Gutman

“I’ve killed myself for this one,” laments industry veteran and No Vacancy bar manager and assistant general manager Troy Gilchrist. When Gilchrist was approached by Connor Gilbert, Joseph Lee, Chris Piron and Michael Swirla to develop an entire cocktail program for the opening of their brainchild, a sexy new Ossington haunt in the old Ghost Chicken digs, he only had two months. But, he was up for the challenge. “This is the eleventh opening I’ve done in my career,” he reveals.
