    Toronto restaurant owner responds to one-star reviews about ‘indecent acts’

    A Toronto restaurant is at war with online reviewers after a slew of one-star reviews hurling a slew of unflattering accusations have begun popping up, and it’s impossible to keep track of what’s even going on anymore.

  • William Sitwell reviews Paro, London: ‘Bowl after bowl of indeterminate slop’

    William Sitwell reviews Paro, London: ‘Bowl after bowl of indeterminate slop’

    The entrance is impressive: an arched corner with a green canopy and a man in a bowler hat. Once inside, you’re immediately greeted by a colourful bar and banquette seating which is a promising, warm and welcoming start. Which is why the restaurant disappoints even more.  Through a short tunnel, you arrive in a place…

    In the frenzy of ongoing openings, between the highly publicized new chapters from name-brand megachefs and whispered, word-of-mouth semi-private debuts stoking curiosity (hello, Frog Club!), there is a gap a mile wide.

    Restaurant review: Threecoins & Sons

    There is a restaurant in Fremantle called Capri. It turns 70 this year and doesn’t look like it’ll be closing any time soon. Capri is properly iconic and is as famous for its longevity as it is its crowd-pleasing Italian cooking. (Pasta! Fried seafood! Free soup and bread with mains!) Freo is lucky to have…

    Birds review: Food is the star at Dubai’s newest dinner-show concept

    From high above on the 63rd floor of Address Downtown at night, the view is breathtaking. Located in the heart of Downtown Dubai, metres away from Burj Khalifa, it feels as though you can touch the glistening tower just by stretching your hand out. It’s also the perfect setting for the avian-themed Birds, Dubai’s newest…
