joy bistro

saturday morning, i headed down to leslieville for a lovely brunch with the one and only bj.
it had been far too long since we had been to 'our spot'. we hadn't seen one another since december!
as always, joy bistro served a lovely breakfast. ever the hotspot,  i was lucky 'b' arrived a few minutes early to secure the best seat in the house: one of the cozy half booths. yummy food, hot drinks and a great vibe means i will definitely be back soon.

joy bistro is located in the leslieville area of toronto, right at booth and queen east.


always essential to start the morning with a latte
....or a cappucino
the restaurant was busy but our food was perfection.
we each ordered the 'leslieville eggs benedict' 
slow roast peameal bacon (regular crispy bacon for me, please), spinach, sauteed tomato,
Yukon gold rosti potato (yum!) and green onion hollandaise
we will absolutely be back to joy bistro! definite recommendation! with so many excellent leslieville choices, make sure you don't miss this one!

in other news....this little girl is the culprit for my absence! meet izzie, my new goldendoodle  puppy!
sweetest face around

city views

 a quick post on cities.....and towns. because while we live in an incredible metropolis with thousands of restaurants and millions of people, my brother is out there in lake louise, alberta, with little of the above. and he is loving it.

we're lucky to live in a city with such a well-recognized skyline. took a few cool shots from an amazing vantage point-the thomspon hotel. what a great view of toronto-sunset on a saturday.
 
reminiscent of old time toronto.

view from toula. while the meal was disappointing, the city twinkled below.

from city.....to THIS!
a special feature: my little brother, jeff, just moved to lake louise, alberta. he sent me this amazing picture! city skyline hardly compares! we miss you, jeff!

isn't that magic?!
