Favourite Pork Chop bun and Red Bean drink for lunch at Phoenix Restaurant; Dinner at Gal sushi; Dessert is Gelato bought from PIAZZA.

Bon Appétit !

To me, French Cuisine is very romantic, artistic, diverse and imaginative. I think most people would agree with me that eating at a French restaurant can be very expensive due to the high quality of food, good service and impressive atmosphere. Also, if you don't know French, it could seem intimidating. Therefore, I've searched a list of terms in French menu, I hope it could be helpful for you!

Le pain / bread
La Soupe / soup

La salade/ salad

La viande / meat

Le poulet / chicken

Le poisson / fish

L'hamburger / hamburger

Les légumes (m) / vegetables

Les frites (f) / Chips or French fried potatoes

Le riz / rice

Zen Japanese Restaurant

Tonight we went to celebrate our friend's birthday at an authentic Japanese Restaurant - ZEN in Brimley and Eglinton area. I have to say this is the 2nd best sushi place that I've ever had in Toronto so far (The best one is Kaji), the reason I said 'so far' is because I have a few other famous places for Jap. food on my to-go list. (Thanks to my sushi-lover friends!! ~_~)
And for sure, I'll go back to this place again... in the near future. Yum....

We've ordered Omakase Sushi and Omakase Sashimi, SUPER GOOD!



Zen Japanese Restaurant: 2803 Eglinton Ave E, Toronto.
Tel no.: (416) 265-7111
