Dinner then a movie.  Movie then dinner.  Hmmmmm.  How about dinner and a movie, like, at the same time? Under the stars, perhaps?  Done.  Cafe Habana here we come!  On Sunday evenings from May until late October, Cafe Habana is host to movie night.  The huge patio, filled with picnic tables, becomes an outdoor movie theatre where customers can indulge in delicious fare while watching a movie projected onto the building wall.  You order, you sit, you eat, you drink (frozen mojitos and margaritas), and you watch.

But seriously.  While the movie was definitely a highlight of the evening, we were blown away by the tasty Cuban/Mexican fare.  From the tacos to the sandwiches to the exceptional corn.  Delicious.

Thanks to everyone who recommended Cafe Habana by way of a BBM, text message, FB or Twitter. Unfortunately, we are now in serious Cafe Habana withdrawal.  Three Sundays have passed, and we are still not over it.  We want the entire experience again, and again, and again.  It was a blast!

The burger renaissance is alive and well in Toronto.  There can never be too many burger joints.  rather peckish is crazy for burgers.  We just love them!   Holy Chuck is new and was discovered on an attempt to walk way North from way South.  The burgers are cooked on a flat top (what we like to call american style) similar to Five Guys Burgers and The Burger's Priest. We ordered their signature burger, The Holy Chuck (double cheeseburger with bacon and caramelized onions). We did not disturb the delicate balance of flavours by adding other toppings as suggested by management. The burgers were juicy and tasty but a little salty. We opted for the fries and sweet potato chips as sides. The fries were better than the chips. They had our favourite soda; Boylan's Black Cherry Cola.  It will have many cameos on rather peckish. 


rather peckish absolutely loves burgers.  If you have any suggestions or recommendations, please don't be shy.  Post a comment or send us an email.
