This month's Chowhound dinner was at Pura Vida Costa Rican restaurant, at the corner of Bloor and Landsdowne. Pura Vida, from what I gathered in my 11 hours in Costa Rica is the unofficial Costa Rican motto. They use it...
For last Friday night, I needed a place for dinner before a show we were seeing later at Club279. I'd been given the task of picking the restaurant by another Chowhound and was visibly wilting under the pressure. With my...
This month, the Chowhounds invaded the Red Violin (95 Danforth) for a Brazilian BBQ feast. Having lived in Brazil for awhile, it was like home sweet home for me. Upon arriving (early even!) I noticed that Kathleen was already comfortably...

So last night was the chowhound dinner at the Tapas bar in Chiado. There were four of us there, Kathleen, Diane, Randy and I. My first impression of the tapas bar was less than stunning, in that it's not immediately...
