When you get an invitation to a private lunch event at a new, up and coming restaurant that also happens to be in your neighborhood, you jump at the chance! So on May 15th I headed over to Trius + aiM Bistro on Browns Line in Etobicoke for what was going to be the most amazing foodie event ever! I decided to take my daughter along with me. Shes two, by the way, and always willing to try any food that I offer her and of course if she sees mom having some, then she is definitely interested.

We arrived and were welcomed by one of the owners, Irina as well as bloggers, influencers and photographers. To say the least, I was on cloud 9! This was amazing and surreal all at the same time. Irina’s husband and co-owner is Chef Daniel and he was busy in the kitchen (where I am used to being btw) making delicious dishes for all of us to sample. Everything from amazing arancini, to chips and dip to labneh to steak with chimichurri sauce and the most delicious jerk chicken.

Irina led us all on a nice tour of the Bistro allowing us to see that there was an amazing event space in the back of the restaurant as well as plenty of seating throughout. Its a great looking interior with classic and modern touches. The restaurant was named after the couple’s two children and Irina let us know that they had just had a third baby and actually named her in line with the existing restaurants name. Lots of family orientation as they want the community to feel comfortable bringing their kids to the restaurant and still enjoy their meal. To achieve this, they have a space for the kids to run around and play in.

My daughter and I loved chatting with Irina and the other foodies that were there. The food was amazing and posting on Insta while there was truly awesome!

If you are in South Etobicoke or not, you need to go check out Trius + aiM. They are famous for their weekend brunch menu and have great specials throughout the week as well. I know where I’ll be taking my family for brunch soon! Thanks for having me again and I look forward to more events at Trius + aiM.
