A dozen years after it galloped from our personal pastures, the year of the horse is upon us once again. Best to celebrate its triumphant return this Chinese New Year in a style that befits its regal presence. In other words, let’s do this annual celebration that ushers in the next 12 months on the Chinese calendar up big.Here are five of your Chinese New Year best restaurants:

Mother's Dumplings

1
421 Spadina Ave, Toronto ON M5T 2G6

Chinese comfort food (think tasty dumplings all cinched up in bundles of flavour and homemade buns so juicy you could water your lawn with them) awaits at this Chinatown treasure. Plan to ring in the New Year here, but do so with the knowledge that you’re not alone in this pursuit. Mother’s Dumplings are so good, the word has spread well beyond the family.

King Noodle Restaurant

2
296 Spadina Ave, Toronto ON M5T 2E7

Go all gung hay fat choy on this place, where a truly spectacular abundance of yummy Cantonese-style fast food lies in wait. Assign jurisdictions to tablemates in surveying this Chinatown delight’s massive menu, lest you get lost amidst the rice, fried noodles, casserole pots, curries, vegetables, soups and barbecued goodies that so copiously populate it.

Lai Wah Heen

3
2-108 Chestnut St, Toronto ON M5G 1R3

This downtown fave has a standing berth in the best-Chinese-in-Toronto lists, and the spot is well earned. A Chinatown mainstay since 1995, Lai Wah Heen delivers fare consistently excellent enough to attract a steady stream of regulars, New Year’s or no. They come for dim sum as hearty as it is innovative, crispy Peking duck carved tableside and Cantonese standards done well, like dungeness crab fried rice, siu mai, and hot and sour soup.

On a cold, snowy Edmonton night, nothing says lovin’ like a cup of hot chocolate. It’s no surprise this drink was originally dubbed the “elixir of the gods.” Regardless of the variety you select, or whether you opt for the simplest hot chocolate on the menu, all I can say is ... don’t forget the marshmallows.
You don’t have to travel to Paris to have a true fine-dining experience; you can enjoy an upscale dinner, complete with a five-course meal and fine wine, right here at home. Victoria is a fine-dining destination with an excellent reputation – where talented chefs enjoy crafting delicious gourmet dishes from fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
Paired with a nice cup of coffee or topped with a scoop of ice cream, pie is unbeatable comfort food. And yet it faces stiff competition from cupcakes as the city’s dessert of choice. Well, pie is fighting back with old fashioned deliciousness as well as new and tantalizing flavours.
