Good morning,

At the moment I have two separate sets of friends who are enjoying the warm weather in Florence, Italy.

We’ve had some beautifully inspirational fall weather here in the capital. So as the remainder of summer hangs on, I thought I would indulge in a little tour of all that is Portuguese in our city. We can at least dream as we enjoy a little taste of the mediterranean.

Today we take you to explore the following:

  • An inviting restaurant in Orleans

  • The oldest Portuguese food store in Canada

  • A newly redone bakery on Wellington

  • A reasonably priced white wine
