Lucky for us, Tereska had a connection with a friend of a friend in Toronto. June, a world traveler with a love for culinary arts, was kind enough to pick us up.
We happened upon dinner at Goldfish Cuisine on bustling Bloor Street (www.goldfishcuisine.com). With such a lively crowd in a somewhat cozy space, it was a bit conversation challenged, but the friendly staff and beautiful presentation of the food spoke volumes.
The food gods were smiling on us because we just happened to be in Toronto for the kick-off of Winterlicious. From January 27th through February 9th, over 120 of the city's top dining establishments offered eclectic three-course, prix fixe menus for only $25 ($15 for lunch).
