All I can say is....AMAZING…read more I had the absolute pleasure of working with Feast Your Eyes to cater my wedding this year. My Husband and I wanted a unique menu, a unique informal dining experience and we had a small budget. A lot of catering companies scoff at small budgets. They don't even want the business it would seem. But Jackie Morton at Feast Your Eyes treated us like our budget was something that could be easily worked with (which was not the attitude we had been faced with anywhere else we obtained quotes) and was laid back, flexible and calming. Having a calming presence is so important when you're working with brides-to-be, especially those on a smaller budget, because everything is stressful to begin with. You know what you want, you know how much you can spend and you want to meet both of those needs simultaneously. We ended up with exactly what we wanted. We had an amazing, decadent menu sampling experience which we both left in a rich, food-induced coma and were in no way stressed about hidden costs (because there were none) or the bill at the end of the day. Their website details all of the menus they offer with colourful photos and the actual presentation of the foods does not let you down. If I ever have another large-scale event, I will definitely use them. To all those Torontonians planning events, don't be afraid to use a lesser-known caterer. The big names ones seem to disappoint a lot of people using them while this one was unbelievably impressive from beginning to end!

Nobody says bad things about this place in terms of food quality, customer services, and community consciousness & contribution. I have been getting their pastries, cakes, tarts, sandwiches, and deli food. Oh their coffee is best on the street. Today, I got - Ravioli salad with mushrooms & arugula: This is my favorite. Seasoning is modest, which makes the ingredients' natural rich flavor stand out. Every time I eat this, I appreciate the different wild mushrooms' textures and natural, earthy flavors. So delicate! - Beef Stir fry: First time to try this and loved this! The beef is cut into generous chunk, and was suuuuupeerrr tender. I did not reheat this in microwave as it may kill this perfectly done beef's texture. Price is on higher end, but in my opinion, well worth it.

What finally convinced me to pop in was a sign outside advertising iced matcha (that gets me every single time). I went in mainly to check out the vibes and the interior did not disappoint. It's super cute, and I honestly felt fancy just standing inside. The staff were great, and they had a wide selection of beautiful pastries and cakes that looked incredible. I ordered an iced lavender matcha for myself, a pistachio macaron, and a mango passionfruit Italian soda for my mom. The matcha was okay... the lavender flavor was nice and pronounced, but the matcha base itself was a bit too watered down for my taste. Since it's not a dedicated matcha spot, I wasn't too surprised. My mom felt similarly about her Italian soda, mentioning it was a bit watery and not as sweet as she expected, so she didn't end up finishing it. The highlight of the visit was definitely the pistachio macaron. It was really good, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. While the drinks were a bit of a miss for us, I wouldn't hesitate to stop by again if I'm walking past just to grab another macaron or try one of their other treats.

Chef Kai Zyganiuk and his lovely assistant Jen did an amazing job. They arrived at my friends house at 2:00pm to start cooking and setting up the dinner for us. Myself and our other friends arrived at 5:00pm to begin the event. When I arrived Chef Kai was in the kitchen cooking our 6 course meal. He asked us what time we would like to begin eating. We choose 6pm so we could mingle and get ready for the evenings festivities. Each course was paired with the perfect Two Oceans Wine and Chef Kai accommodated everyone's food allergies. 1st Course: Our first course was a seared shrimp with a curried aioli, toasted sesame seeds and blackened lime. It tasted delicious and was paired with Two Oceans Pinot Grigio. The flavour combinations were so good, I definitely could have eaten more of the shrimp. The shrimp melted in our mouths and presented a unique flavour pallet when eaten with the aioli. I'll definitely be asking Chef Kai for the recipe. 2nd Course: The second course was a soup made with a white bean purée, charred chorizo sausage, chives and a toasted baguette (of course I didn't get to try the baguette since I'm both gluten and lactose intolerant but everyone said it was delicious). The soup tasted fantastic! It was spicy and flavourful. I really enjoyed the sausage within the soup. That is something I have never done before and it tasted exquisite. This course was paired with Two Oceans Sauvignon Blanc. The Sauvignon Blanc was smoother than most and definitely my favourite wine we tried during the main courses. (Hold tight for my review on the dessert wine). 3rd Course: The third Course was a delightful baby gem lettuce salad served with pickled red onions, warm pressed feta cheese (which looked amazing), toasted brioche, roasts almonds and vinaigrette. The salad had a nice woody flavour and I really enjoyed it. 4th Course: The fourth course was an 11 hour braised berkshire pork seasoned with exotic spices and served with pearl cous cous (my course arrived with champ potatoes instead), red wine jus, onion jam, and micro basil. This course was very savoury. Chef Kai made extra and everyone had seconds. This dish with Two Oceans Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot. The Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot was medium bodied with a berry oak flavour. 5th Course: The fifth course was definitely the grand finale. Chef Kai prepared a seared prime beef tenderloin with a side of smoked Gouda cheese (I wish I wasn't lactose intolerant... hehe), tart cherries, champ potatoes, baby vegetables and natural jus. The steak was prepared perfectly. Chef Kai served it medium rare and it melted in our mouths. The tart cherries added a really unique flavour I had not experienced while eating a steak before. In fact, it was delightful. This main was paired with Two Oceans Shiraz. The Shiraz was fruity and medium bodied. It had notes of red cherries and vanilla. It's definitely worth trying if you enjoy red wine. 6th Course: The sixth course was a delicious dessert. Chef Kai prepared a medjool date cake for us with citrus and mint ice cream, baked lavender soil, soused berries and warm caramel sauce. My friends loved this course. I was served a bowl of soused berries and they were really good. This course was paired with Two Oceans Moscato. The Moscato was amazing and definitely my favourite wine of the night. I have a real sweet tooth and love sweet wines. If you enjoy sweet wines as well I highly recommend you try Two Oceans Moscato; it's sweet and goes down smooth. Chef Kai did an amazing job catering our Two Oceans get together. Chef Kai is extremely friendly and a master at what he does. He does an incredible job in the kitchen and can make due with whatever type of kitchen appliances you have. I highly recommend working with him and hope we can dine together again. My friends and I are eager to try one of his cooking classes. Thank you for a wonderful evening Chef Kai and Two Oceans Wine.
