I love, no….really love Mexican food. Have I mentioned that already?! So I was really excited that La Bamba opened another restaurant in downtown Saskatoon in the old Sawadee building on 2nd Avenue (which I am sad to say, closed – such great Asian food!). The La Bamba on Boychuk Drive makes a great chile…

!Muy yum – en Saskatoon!
Queso fresco. Fresh corn tortillas. Pozole. Cilantro. Peppers. Avocado. Onions. Homemade salsa. All of this (and more!) can be found in Saskatoon’s newest Mexican gem…….Mi Tierra. Mi Tierra is a Mexican-owned restaurant on 22nd Street between Avenue U and V….and it is just what I expected – small and colorful, smiling-faced staff to greet you,…
Satiated Grouse!
Little Grouse on the Prairie – May 8, 2018 On a slightly overcast and windy spring evening, my mom and I headed into Little Grouse in downtown Saskatoon. The small, cozy (yet modern) room always feels so inviting and the front of house always has a smile on their face. A perfect way to start…
I’m back!
After almost a year away from this space, I’m ready to get writing about amazing food all over again. I had a busy and stressful year but still managed to eat in some of my favorite places, find a few new ones, and gobble up all that is perfect in Saskatoon. I’ve focused mostly on…
Uno Mas o…..mucho mas?!
After a full day of work and spin class, what could be better than tacos and margaritas with great friends?! Nothing. Except maybe more tacos and more margaritas. Sigh, I was driving and had to work the next day, so one round had to suffice. At a glance: Uno Mas is on 2nd Avenue in…

Five Unexpected Mouth Wonders
One of my favorite things in this world is when a dish appears in front of me that is so delicious, in an unexpected way, that I actually stop talking (odd for me) and swear repeatedly (with a few side-mouthed omg’s thrown in). Of course, I order these dishes hoping for delicious food but sometimes there are…
Worlds Apart – Sticks and Stones and Milestones
Ok, I went to S&S again…for a third time. My co-worker said to me, why don’t you eat at different restaurants?! Ha! I do but this is a great place to eat and the friend I went with hadn’t been here yet. I also added last night’s dinner with my significant other at Milestones, however,…
Asia in Saskatoon! A Great Food Experience at Sticks and Stones
I have been looking so forward to going to Sticks and Stones since it opened in mid-April. S&S has the same management team as Ayden Kitchen & Bar and Little Grouse, so I was somewhat biased going in…and it did not disappoint!! When: Tuesday, May 2nd – 5:00pm (me, my mom, my son, and his…
A Cozy Evening at the Prairie Harvest Café
Another wonderful evening out for food and wine with my mom! When: March 23, 2017 – 5:30pm (my mom and I) At a glance: Cozy restaurant, tucked in between houses in a small building on Early drive (east side of Saskatoon), aged wood floors, old tables, old appliances, dated knick knacks and photos give it a farm or Prairie feel,…

When: March 3, 2017 – 6:00pm (my significant other and I) – McOrmond Drive location At a glance: Montana’s is a Canadian BBQ and bar chain restaurant but their ribs are amazing.

A Hot Date at the Mardi Gras Grill ;)
