Doro Sips: Coffee Oysters Champagne

I found myself in Toronto in mid-October of last year for a work trip and after 3 days where I could not tell you where my workday ended and sleep started, we completed our client strategy workshop. It was a roaring success. Naturally, I took myself out to celebrate at 9pm and after a bit of wandering on King, found myself at Coffee Oysters Champagne, in Downtown Toronto, located at 214 King St W.

I am not an avid drinker but I can never turn down a glass of bubbly - mainly because I love what it represents: joy, celebration, and togetherness.

Join me for a few sips, a champagne tour, and a late night bite!

Doro Dines: Hydra Estiatorio Happy Hour (Buck a Shuck Oysters)

I woke up yesterday with the oddest craving at 7AM: freshly shucked raw oysters. In this economy, buck-a-shuck oysters are hard to come by, but are still around if you really search… luckily, Hydra and Ebisu are still around.

After work, I called up a friend who also happened to be Downtown and we decided that Hydra was the move based on proximity to our offices (#corporategirlies), buck-a-shuck, and the beautiful space. Hydra is a chic, two-level Mediterranean restaurant in the heart of Downtown Vancouver dishing up some of this city’s freshest raw and cooked seafood. Their happy hour runs from 3-6pm and is perfect for anyone who works a typical 9-5(ish).

If you haven’t been to Hydra yet, please do yourself a favour and add it to your list. And if you see a 5’2” corporate girl eating a dozen oysters like it’s nobody’s business, it’s probably my doppleganger…
