Fall Festivals, Fresh Air and Farm Fun
"970 Paramound Drive, Stoney Creek Valley Park is home to the Valley Park Arena. Located at the park is a soccer field, lit hardball field and unlit softball field, play equipment, natural areas, a creek, and a pedestrian walkway with a bridge."
"We’d say Fresh has sure come a long way since the juice bar they started as in 1990. With bright whites, tall ceilings, exciting floor tiles, and exposed brick, Fresh on Front is one of the most beautiful and Instagram-worthy of its other locations. Tall, mid-century style velvet seats line the bar and welcome you to grab a drink, a bite to eat, and stay a while."
"Fresh on Front set out to challenge the idea that vegetarian food had to be bland, and they delivered. Housed in a historic Front Street mansion, guests are greeted by pastel pink barstools, geometric tiled floors and pretty pot plants. While Fresh has a few locations across Toronto, this is the first with a full cocktail bar."
"This Rastafarian restaurant in Scarborough is worth the commute outside of the city center for two big reasons: Arnold ‘Makus’ Freeman and Michael ‘Drey’ Stephens. These two Rastafarian men have been vegan since childhood and recently decided to take their love of animals to the Toronto suburbs. Here you’ll find an ever-changing menu that boasts vegan-friendly recipes such as shepherd’s pie and lasagna, but also more traditional plates like Caribbean pumpkin stew and West Indian chow mein."
"Ital Vital is a Caribbean restaurant in Scarborough that you must try. It’s one of the best vegan restaurants in Toronto, and they serve a different menu each day (posted on their Instagram). Today’s menu includes: rasta pasta, spare ribs BBQ, curry shrimp, callaloo greens, curry chickpea stew, a few different burgers, cauliflower wings, corn soup, and more."
"Okay, I lied: here’s another ice cream spot in Toronto, but it’s more about the doughnut cones here than the ice cream. Chimney cakes are a Hungarian pastry that’s crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, and Eva’s makes them with all-natural and mostly organic ingredients. You can get chimney cakes on their own here, or get them decked out with ice cream and all the toppings!"
"An Eastern European treat known as Kürtőskalács (Hungarian) or Trdelník (Czech) can now be had in Toronto and better known as Chimneys. Hand-rolled into a cone shape, coated with sugar and cinnamon, filled with real cream soft serve, and topped with more sweet delights, Eva’s does an incredible job at bringing their Hungarian culinary heritage to the city."
"A post shared by Eva’s Original Chimneys (@ogchimneys) on Apr 22, 2019 at 6:24am PDT. Eva’s is known for their chimney cones, which are made from their traditional chimney cakes. Soft serve ice cream is then doused with a variety of toppings."
"7 No other creature has been monopolized in the name of food as often as the unicorn. Edible odes to the mythical beast have included sparkly cakes, lattes, milkshakes and toast. Taiyaki NYC, a Big Apple–based Japanese dessert chain that’s now in T.O., has doubled up on the creature feature by filling a freshly baked fish-shaped waffle cone with a swirl of sprinkle-coated soft-serve, finishing it off with twee ears and an alicorn (yes, that’s the proper name for the spiralled uni-horn) made of fondant."
"The cakes at Rahier can be described as modern, chic and scrumptious!. The nouveau style of decorating has attracted quite the following since it opened in 1996. The croissants are also laminated to perfection, making them as flaky and buttery as the ones found in Paris."
"McEwan enjoyed the Mata Hari cake, with mango and coconut mousse. “The gooseberry is pretty but perhaps misleading as I couldn’t taste this through the cake. It complemented the flavours well, however.” McEwan was particularly fond of the papaya compote and texture."
"No trip to Markham is complete without a stroll through the Pacific Mall. If you’ve got a sweet tooth hop in line at Uncle Tetsu’s Japanese Cheesecake and take home the bake shops two signature sweets: a fluffy cheesecake and box of massive Honey Madeleine’s. While you wait in line enjoy a moment of culinary theatre as a choir of bakers whirl and twirl as they prepare thousands of cakes in the shops open concept kitchen."
"A post shared by Uncle Tetsu Canada (@uncletetsucanada) on Apr 24, 2020 at 10:01am PDT. If you’re craving a sweet and tangy treat but you’re wanting something a little lighter, a Japanese cheesecake from Uncle Tetsu fits the bill. You can order goods from the spot’s Bay Street location via Uber Eats from 11 am to 8:30 pm."
"Celebrate their birthday the right way with a Japanese style cheesecake!. Their Original Cheesecake is available in 7″, with chocolate or matcha as additional flavour options. You can order their cakes via Uber Eats."
