A Message from Angela at Sundara Yoga, 492 Parliament St.
"The sun is shining and the weather is sweet! Everybody move your dancing feet!" Bob really did say it best.
Come on down to the studio and shed the ba hum bug of winter and celebrate.
It's time for that inner light to beam.
Illuminate your life from the inside out.
See you on the mat.

Movin’
on up. F’Amelia’s chef decamped and the sous moved up. And up! Warm house-made
focaccia with rosemary and reggiano sets the tone — which continues with
gnocchi like clouds made complex with porcini and pancetta, and fab farfalle
with garlicky house-made lamb sausage, wilted spinach, roasted parsnips and
shaved pecorino. Spring announces itself with crazy juicy scallops with
translucent pink coins of pickled radish for bite, oranges for sweet, fennel
pure and braised endive for depth. From the Neapolitan pizza oven issue fab
crispy crusts with impeccable toppings. Even the service has taken a turn for
the better, becoming increasingly assured and attentive.
Enjoy Mother's Day at F'Amelia with the restaurant opening at noon May 12th.
Give Back! Pay your bill with cash or debit F'Amelia will donate 1% of your entire bill + tip to the Cabbagetown Youth Centre.
