ReviewsOn Fabbrica, Toronto:"â€¦the quality of ingredients (exemplified by the dough that tastes ridiculously fresh) surpasses most others in the cityâ€¦As a whole, Fabbrica's soup, pizza and panini were fresh, authentic and a wonderful surprise from one of Toronto's top chefs who to date hasn't been known for this type of food." - BlogTO.com "For Mark McEwan, who's dedicated a lifetime to culinary perfection, whipping up a work-of-art needs nothing more than a spatula and some quality ingredientsâ€¦McEwan has become one of the country's top gastronomic moguls." - Dolce Vita luxury magazine McEwan is "the closest thing to a star chef that Toronto's gotâ€¦ the Toronto chef with the flaming red hair is on fire and, guess what, the blaze is about to get bigger - Martiniboys.com On One, Toronto:"â€¦the restaurant stands tall and confident among its pricey peersâ€¦definitely a worthy Yorkville addition." - Don Ellis "The store's grocery lines are impressive: McEwan boasts an exclusive line of (excellent) Belgian chocolates, and gets its macaroons delivered fresh three times a week. You could eat a different imported, bronze-dye-extruded Italian pasta every night for a month from McEwan's grocery shelves." - Globe and Mail "Besides Mark McEwanâ€¦precious few chefs have the skills and the moxie to morph into a manager." - Globe and Mail "This excellence as a food city owes something to its stellar chefs in their luxe pleasure palaces such as North 44â€¦" - Globe and Mail "This meatloaf, from Mark McEwan's new cookbook Great Food At Home, is just delicious." - Bonnie Stern "The Beretta Organic double-smoked bacon bought at McEwan Fine Foods for a French green lentil dish makes a mockery out of supermarket baconâ€¦ Reading Great Food at Home is much like going to cooking school. You'll discover the best way to make onion rings, how to cure salmon, how to make pasta, and the best way to mash potatoes." - Jennifer Bain, Toronto Star "Yorkville's hottest scene, the wraparound patio out front of the Mark McEwan-helmed resto in the Hazelton Hotel has been celebutante central since it opened with considerable fanfare in time for last fall''s film fest." - NOW magazine "One's duck confitâ€¦is easily one of the best in town." - Starred review of One (NNN, or Excellent) "Mark McEwanâ€¦has managed to offer suburbanites something more interesting than the unholy trinity of the Montana-Jackass-Pickle boxesâ€¦ Fabbrica is a much-needed addition to the Don Mills dining scene." - Eye Weekly magazine "â€¦a brilliantly executed beef tenderloin with seared foie grasâ€¦is, without a doubt, manna for meat-loversâ€¦Hey, when Mark McEwan puts his name to anything, one expects it [to] be flawless." - Alan A. Vernon and Sean Kelly Keenan "One of Toronto's finest restaurants in the heart of uptown Toronto, North 44 has become a benchmark in Toronto and across Canada for its elegance, impeccable service and exceptional cuisine." - Food Network Canada North 44: "beautiful food presentationâ€¦smooth-as-silk serviceâ€¦love at first bite." - Zagat Survey, 2001-2002 North 44: "Within the ultra-stylish multi-tiered space, combinations of lights and shadows, food and wine, play in a magical decor of mirrors, mosaics and flowers. Dinner is an event to be celebrated and remembered. Exotic ingredients combine with flavourful herbs and spices, rather than relying on heavy saucesâ€¦Desserts are irresistible." - 1999/2000 Toronto's Fifty Best Restaurants
