For months, I’ve been meaning to go to Social at Le Magasin. It’s a two-part restaurant, with a little bistro on Water Street and a butchershop/deli facing West Cordova. I keep walking by the bistro and seeing signs for oysters and cheap martinis. I haven’t even been in there, and they already know what I like!
I’ve heard great things about their sandwiches, so it was about time that I tried one. They’re good value – I got a small sandwich for $6.75 and only managed to eat half of it. Each sandwich also comes with a bag of homemade potato chips, which are delightfully salty and ever-so-slightly burnt. It’s a daring but tasty move.

It has been kind of cold and drizzly lately, which makes me want to hibernate and make soup. My first soup of the rainy season was a Tuscan white bean soup. It’s lovely and comforting, and really easy to make.

…but only if the bread came from Terra Breads and I could choose from anything that they make. My all-time favourite is the fig & anise loaf, which is dark and dense with pockets of licorice-y goodness and dark dried figs. However, the green olive loaf is a close second. Their levain loaf uses a mixture of white and whole wheat flour, and is leavened using a sourdough starter. The resulting texture is yeasty and porous, with a satisfyingly crunchy crust.
It’s expensive stuff – about $5 for a large loaf - but well worth it. The only trouble is, it doesn’t last that long. I dare you not to eat an entire loaf in a day or two.
