Nespresso Boutique Bar Now Open; Canoe Wild Dinner

YORKVILLE— Nespresso just opened a new 14,000 square foot location in Yorkville. It's drink-in only so guests will have an opportunity to use the futuristic furniture and admire the coffee-centric artwork: purely decorative espresso machines, graphic prints of coffee cups and a wall featuring a multicolored array of coffee capsules, available in 21 different intensities. The food is French, with staples like croque monsieur with truffle bechamel and mushroom goat cheese quiche, prepared by chef Jean-Charles Dupoire of Le Kensington and Loire. And as for the prices, an espresso and a petit four will run you $6. [Toronto Life]
