It is known as the first Moroccan restaurant to receive a Michelin Star, I wouldn’t celebrate it as that. Some of the Tasting Menu courses seemed New American and I was more intrigued with Mourad’s creativity and techniques than I was with his “New Moroccan” flavours. Aziza is ahead of the game and almost before its time.

The Tasting Menu was riskier and more exciting than the a la carte menu, and without trying the Tasting Menu I would have missed out. It wouldn’t have been bad, but I wouldn’t have been surprised and my dining experience would not have reached full potential. The flavours of Morocco were not always obvious, but the food still good.

Mourad’s personality came out in the Tasting Menu. His creativity is best expressed in his Tasting Menu and I wasn’t expecting it to get as intense as it did. He is a real chef who is passionate about cooking and the menu was progressive, artistic, and innovative to Moroccan cuisine.

This Canadian version of the “Big Apple” has so much to offer. A born and raised Torontonian put it very nicely when he said “the people are the same, but what sets Toronto’s neighbourhood’s apart is the food”. Here is a small taste of what to expect from Follow Me Foodie to Toronto!

Blue Water blows it out of the water! It is the 9th Annual Unsung Heroes Festival and the thing I’m wondering is why the hell it has taken me so long to come here to try it?! Bravo! Encore! Thank goodness the festival is on every day for the whole month of February because I want to go again!

My Follow Me Foodie Favourites & Best of 2012! I prefer calling it my “favourites” or most “memorable” experiences, but I’ll include “the best” just because I’m weak and want to align with every other “best of 2012″ list out there. This is a recap of my delicious 2012.
Che Baba Cantina is one of the newer kids on the block and it opened late last year. It actually doubles as a restaurant with a small yoga studio located next door. The concept is charming and very Vancouver, yet refreshing to the area and especially this part of Vancouver.

It’s the 1st Annual Taste of Italy Seafood Festival is on now until the end of September and it features a reasonably priced seafood menu with optional wine pairings. The restaurant is Italian, but the food is accommodating to West Coast palates.
