Where Shall We Go For Dinner?
What are the new restaurants? Who is the chef? What kind of food do they serve?Good cooking speaks in every language, but in only one voice: a sensual voice that all food lovers understand. We like to think that we are sharing our thoughts with kindred spirits: people who believe that each meal is an adventure, a sensual experience that not only fuels the body, but fires the imagination; people who are on the lookout for an elusive explosion of flavor, or a favorite dish prepared in an entirely new way. We admire chefs who can take a few sprigs of aromatics and a spoonful of spices, and turn the mundane into magic. We welcome you, our companions on a course of discovery: to find the best places to eat, whether in our own back yard or on the other side of the world.

Starfish Oyster Bed & Grill is not just an oyster bar with a unique and diverse assortment of oysters, it is also a casual restaurant with a menu that changes daily to provide fresh catch, like lobsters so sweet they need no butter; juicy grilled rib-eye steaks; duck; and a crispy bowl of frites with a zippy coral mayo. We’ve fallen for Starfish, hook, line and sinker. Watch as world speed-shucking champ, Patrick McMurry—who shucked 30 oysters in 2 minutes 35 seconds—teaches you how to shuck an oyster. (Starfish Oyster Bed & Grill, 100 Adelaide St. East Toronto, ON, 416-366-7827)

Restaurant of the Moment
Il Mulino always succeeded in providing casual neighbourliness as well as a natural sophistication.

When ownership changed hands last fall some wondered if that high standard would be affected, until word broke that the new face at Il Mulino would be none other than Oscar Valverde of such renowned establishments as Sotto Sotto, Mistura, Splendido, and Centro. Anticipation quickly grew to excitement. If ever there were a velvet transition this was it.
