Ribs at Highway 61

Highway 61 - 1620 Bayview Ave

So I must say that this is the first time I was not able to finish a full rack of ribs. Liz and I had a full rack (10 bones) of ribs at Highway 61 (http://www.highway61.ca/). We were only able to finish 6 bones. Pics for you guys.

Aoyama Sushi (2766 Victoria Park Ave)

This is the Omakase-style sushi restaurant called Aoyama that Liz and I tried few months ago. Place was quite busy. You have to call in first to make sure they have free tables. People normally call in advance to make a reservation.


We had the 7-set dinner course ($60). The first one is a seaweed salad. It was really good!


Next, we had tuna tatake (thinly sliced raw tuna). No picture here sorry! My stomach went ahead to eat the dish without remembering me to take a picture first!

Then we had the lobster tail with butter sauce. This was the best of all the dishes we had.


Classic tempura. Well battered and crispy!



Next is mushroom soup served in a little teapot. Very cool.



Last, this is what we have been waiting for all along. SUSHI!!! This was the first time I had the salmon roe and I DID NOT like it at all. The rest are amazingly fresh, tasty and buttery.



Green tea for dessert. No picture here too since we were too full to take one!

Cheers!
