Garlic’s of London presents the Farmers Feed Cities
event “Fresh from the Field” on Monday January 21. Join

the farmers that supply the deliciously local ingredients.

A hidden gem is tucked inauspiciously in a row of buildings
between Burwell and Maitland on Dundas Street. T.G’s Addis
Ababa will be celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. Inside,
close your eyes and savour the exquisite aromas emanating
from the nearby tables and the kitchen. The menu offers
outstanding examples of perfectly prepared Ethiopian cuisine.
Vegetarians and culinary purists flock here. T.G. and Sam are
hospitality personified. T.G. is also a well-known caterer. Takeout
is available. www.tgsaddisababarestaurant.com
When it comes to technology trends, just over one-quarter
(27 per cent) of chefs polled ranked tablet computers,
such as iPads, as the predicted hottest technology trend in
restaurants in 2013. London’s new 168 Sushi, at 660 Oxford
St. West, an early adopter of iPad tablet ordering systems, is
engaged in its early preview days as we go to print. There are
long line-ups for the service at 168 Sushi, and the restaurant
takes mainstream, conveyor-belt style sushi and fast food
to a new level. The ambience and decor is by far the most
contemporary, hands down, out of any AYCE (all-you-caneat)
sushi place around. 168sushibuffet.com/london
