As Toronto's only member of The Leading Hotels of the World, guests can expect an extraordinary level of service and a memorable experience.

I was invited a couple weeks ago for a Meetings by McEwan breakfast. It was quite the experience. There was about ten of us in total, including Mark McEwan himself. That was my first time meeting him. He's extremely friendly, and his food was delicious as expected.

The food is set up in a buffet style. There were a lot of vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free options. Pictured above is the seasonal fruit cocktail and vegetarian breakfast tortillas (these were amazing! My favourite out of everything I tried)

Meetings by McEwan breakfast
Low-fat banana-chia seed muffins, housemade granola bars, assorted miniature donuts (I loved these as well. They were not that sweet - just perfect for breakfast), avocado toasts with chopped egg and reggiano, and sliced aged Quebec cheddar with heirloom tomatoes.

Sorry for the blurry photo! This was my second favourite; smoked salmon rosti with poached egg and hollandaise.

Sliced aged Quebec cheddar with heirloom tomatoes. I don't know why I didn't take any of this..I regret not trying it as I heard the tomatoes were really good.

Time to eat! I had my bag on the floor next to me and as I returned from getting the food, a stool had magically appeared under it. The service here was really good. The staff were friendly and very attentive without being intrusive.

After the very satisfying breakfast, my friend and I paid a quick visit to Mark McEwan's grocery store:

302. dbar + ONE

Four Seasons Toronto lobby
This post is WAY overdue. A few months ago (October), the new Four Seasons hotel opened here in Toronto. My friend & I dropped by that week on a rainy Sunday night to try dbar, by the famous chef Daniel Boulud.

World Press Photo 2012 Toronto
One of my favourite times of the year is when the World Press Photo arrives in Brookfield Place. It's an annual photojournalism exhibit where they display all the year's best photos from around the world. I love seeing the "graphic & disturbing" section. The images are so powerful and really open your eyes to the rest of the world.

My building in Total Recall! Finally watched this movie a couple nights ago. I was mostly excited to see it because they filmed some parts of it right here in Toronto - right beside my building! They even included it in a scene. In reality we don't have the giant tv screen at the top or a highway beside us lol. I posted some photos last year when I was watching them film a scene from my window..click here for the post & scroll to the bottom.
