Oh one thing I didn't get to try on this Day was beavertails! omgggg We did try it in Banff though so watch out for my verdict in that episode heheh I hope you enjoyed the vlog! Let me know what your fave part was hehe 🌷
beavertails are perfect fair food, but I never eat them anywhere else lol
One of the CUTEST things about that dog fountain is there there is one cat there looking at the opposite direction (all the dogs are looking at the bone) and if you follow the cat's gaze, they are looking at some birds that are on the streetsign!!!! I love that foundtain so much
Oh my goodness this is actually the cutest! I didn’t notice this! I wish I did 🥹🥹🌷🌷🌷🌷 tysm for sharing this!
That is so cute 🥺
I love seeing Toronto from your perspective! Also love that you picked a cute little moose to take home with you! 🩷
🥹🌷🌷🌷 hehehe tysm! ❤ I’m so happy you like it! This little moosie came all around with us hehe ❤❤❤❤
It was so sweet seeing my city being toured and our Canadian food being sampled. As for the sunset grill, its not a great breakfast place. For the neighborhood you were in the best place for breakfast is called the Senator. Its been in business since the 1920's I recall correctly.
Second the senator! None of the chain breakfast places in the GTA have maple syrup on the tables anymore, you have to ask for it and pay extra for a tiny container or bottle.
Thank you for telling her. It felt like her wrong choices dimmed the light on a good Canadian breakfast with real maple syrup. Also she doesn’t research her choices she has nobody to blame but herself for ordering overly sweet coffees and snotty eggs
Eeeeee yeah time Hortons is not good at all. Wish I knew you were coming sooner I would’ve warned you 😔
Walking past FRANS to go to go to Sunset Grill 😢
lol someone else just said this 😆🤣
You're right about the moose being Canadian! They were voiced as the characters Bob & Doug McKenzie from the Canadian sketch show SCTV (played by Canadian comedians/actors Rick Moranis & Dave Thomas).
Please go get poutine from any other place than Smokes; their gravy is sweet and they’re not the greatest (they’re a chain). If you’re back in Toronto at the end of your trip, go to NomNomNom at Dundas and Bathurst (where all the container restaurants are). I can’t give reccs for out West, I’m in Toronto. lol
For solid brunch in Toronto, go to Lady Marmalade, Petit Dejeneur, Mildred’s Temple Kitchen. For classic diners, Fran’s or Lakeview
Oh dammit haha I actually thought it was really tasty from smokes hahah 🤣🌷 thank you for the recommendations tho! I will keep this in mind next time wahooo!
So fun to see you enjoying our country. Tim Hortons is overrated, has gone downhill since the 1980’s. The best poutines are up in northern Ontario and side road chip stands. Sturgeon falls Ontario has two delicious ones with the best hand dipped corn dogs (pogos) Oh that butter tart was not a proper Canadian butter tart. Crust was way too thick and didn’t look flaky. My uncle makes delicious butter tarts. I’ve tried but I burn mine all the time lol .
Oooo thank you for sharing This it will be handy to people who want to travel here! Yea we did end up seeing butter tarts that looked different! ❤ Dean loved them! ❤
lol, Quebec would like to have some words with you about the best poutine. I live close to the Ontario/Quebec border and that is a hill Quebecois will die on. 😂😂 Having grown up in Northern Ontario, I’d probably agree with the Quebecois on this one because it all comes down to how fresh the curd is, and St Albert’s is south of Ottawa so you’re getting it VERY fresh.
I love these travel vlogs.. I could warch these forever lol.. Thank you both ❤❤
Hehehe oh my goodness 😂❤ that’s a huge compliment heheh tysm! ❤
Love your videos, and so happy you got to see one of our great Canadian cities Toronto. I’m sure Banff and the west coast will be just as exciting for you, it is absolutely beautiful there!
Hehehe aww thank you so much! 🥹🌷🇨🇦 I’m happy you’re enjoying them! ❤
Welcome to Canada! I’m originally from the north west of England but lived in Canada most of my life now. Glad you’re enjoying the local cuisine, poutine and butter tarts great choices, two of my favourites 😁
Looking forward to seeing your adventures out west, my daughter recently moved out there and loves it, hopefully I can visit there too in the future. Thanks for sharing the vlogs. ❤
Hehehe aww thank you so so much! Hehehe we loved Canada so much! I can’t wait to share Banff with you guys! Hehe 🥹🩷🌷
I’d love to visit Canada one day, it’s amazing that you’re able to travel so much ❤❤
🥹🌷 thank you so much! We’re trying to squeeze in as much as we can before (hopefully) having children! ❤
Thank you for sharing part of your trip again! It's such a pleasure watching these, it almost feels like I'm on holiday, too!
🥹🌷🌷🌷🇨🇦 this makes me feel so so happy! I’m glad you enjoy coming along with us hehe thank you for watching! 🥹🌷🌷🌷🌷
@@catherinekayy Yes I enjoy seeing all these places I’ll never get to visit. Thank you for sharing! ❤
OMG!! When you got the butter pastry and said it looked like a butthole, I laughed so hard, my husband thought I’d lost the plot 😂😂😂 Awesome video! ❤
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 it did look like a butthole to be fair hahaha
Loving this ♥️ 🇨🇦 Butter tarts are definitely very sweet and an acquired taste…my old workplace back in Canada (we live in England now) still makes lots of different types of butter tarts (maple/bacon, skor chocolate etc)…the original type is with raisins normally ☺️ There is even a butter tart festival in my old town 😆
OooOoooo maple bacon flavour sounds so interesting 😅❤ I’m kind of curious hehehe 🥹🌷🌷🌷 ooo I feel like I’d quite like it with raisins too! Thank you for watching ❤
A SKOR BUTTER TART? I’m going to need a location for your old workplace, because that sounds worthy of a road trip.
@@RebeccaBredin Are you in Ontario? ☺️
Love the video! Do you mind sharing what camera you have?
minus 4 is kinda warm lol. see anyone with shorts on
lol I didn’t actually but that would of been funny 🤣🤣
its a canadian thing lol..wearing shorts or bbq when its still cold. not usually this warm though, california is getting more snow than us, today its plus 13@@catherinekayy
Love love love Toronto !! We stayed at the Fairmont on our last trip in 2019 as we had to catch a train the next day to Quebec and it was practically next door . Thanks for taking me back to my favourite city x
I'm Canadian, and I feel like all our famous dishes are so high in calories!!
Heheh 😂❤ wholesome tho!
wow someone here that can afford the prices. your probably a nepo baby. sorry the truth hurts.
lol couldn’t be further from the truth 😆🤣 this made me giggle
I’m so sorry that your obviously having a hard time in life that you feel the need to bring other people down, Catherine actually comes from a working class family and has never received any financial help from anyone, Catherine started her own business 7 years ago whilst working 3 other part time jobs and I was working full time plus constant over time to provide for us both and we managed to get a mortgage at the ages of 24 and 22, over the next few years Catherine gradually built up her business and was able to go full time, 3 years ago I was then able to leave my job and go work for her, please think about other peoples feelings before leaving negative comments ❤
@@bear.to.viking History lesson from a random. Google has more power then you would like to admit. Try using it.
This was fun to watch. I haven’t been to St. Lawrence Market in years.
As you noted, butter tarts are really sweet. I don’t eat them very often because of that, and I like sugar. Lol!
Looking forward to seeing Banff. My friends and I are looking into visiting Banff (and maybe Jasper) in the next couple years.
Hehehe I hope you enjoy the vlogs! We had the best time ever! 🥹🌷🌷🌷
I thought Toronto was such a fun city. Like NYC but friendlier 😂
Hahaha yesss 🤣🤣🤣🌷 this is the vibe I got too! Ehehue
peameal IS back bacon lol..im canadian never heard of having marmelade on it lol..mustard :)
Ooo totally try it! It was really good you know! I love marmalade 🥹🌷🌷
It seems Dean and I have very similar palettes! I love a butter tart, but my boyfriend can't eat them without getting sick. I also enjoy Tim Hortons iced Capps once in a while, but I always order them light meaning they're made with milk instead of cream, otherwise my tummy gets annoyed with me.
You are right about the moose in Brother Bear being Canadian despite the Alaskan setting. They were voiced by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas, two Canadian actors, and based on their characters of Bob and Doug Mackenzie - very silly, stereotypical Canadian brothers from the show SCTV in the 80s. Not sure non-Canadians of the era will appreciate it, but I always find them hilarious as a kid!
Oh my gosh thank you for sharing this 😂❤❤❤❤ hehehe the moose were my fave bit in brother bear I loved that beaver scene 😂❤ hahah “that’s a pretty big beaver ehhh” 😂love it every time
kooo roo kookoo koo kookookooo! Good day, eh. ❤️🇨🇦
Oh I’m glad you went to Smokes poutine . Rest in peace Ryan Smolkin (founder of Smokes poutine)
🥹🌷🌷🌷🌷
super looking forward to your canada diaries! your vlogs lift my mood up. was feeling kinda under the weather but got so excited when i saw your new upload. excited for the rest of the canada diaries! hope you and dean have a blast touring canada! lots of love! 🩷🩷🩷
Hehehe oh my goodness thank you so much I’m so so sorry you are feeling under the weather I hope you’re feeling much better now! 🥹🌷🌷🌷
The Fairmont is horrible. I stayed there for work a few times with another co-worker and both of us had cold showers. Called to get it fix and still no luck so I had a cold shower a few days in a road.. I wouldn't stay there again..
Omgosh really?! Sounds like it’s not worth the hype 🥲🥲🥲🥲
That Ceaser drink you tried is most likely a copycat of something you find in Mexico called Micheladas It almost to the T of the same ingredients. It's cool you're enjoying Canada. I go each year for a month my other half is Canadian.
OooOooo 🌷 hehehe hope you enjoyed the vlog!
I started watching your older videos when you had your surgery and I can say, now you seem able to eat way more than before :-) Can I ask, do you still need to wait 25 minutes after eating to be able to drink, or that's not an issue anymore? thank you for the video
Sometimes I need to wait because it hurts! But sometimes I’m okay with taking a sip or two! 🥹🌷🌷
Great video, you have a new subscriber. Please keep up the good work!
Oh wow thank you and welcome to the channel Shaun! 🥹🌷
You walked past Fran's to go to Sunset? Ouch.
lol 🥲🥲🥲🤣 oopsie we didn’t know any better!
It seems incredibly serendipitous that I've just booked a trip to Toronto for 2 months time and you're releasing this series! I have my phone open on Google Maps saving everywhere you go to😂😂
Heheh what are the chances of that 😂❤ I hope you have the best time ever! 🥹🌷
Please check out my comment for some solid restaurant recommendations. As much as we locals love to rag on them, blogto is also a good resource of top restaurant compilations . Also check to the FoodToronto subreddit. Enjoy your trip here!
There are around 6 other Canada Dry ginger ale flavours and they are so good!
ooo I should of tried those ones! I loved the canada dry it was delicious 😍
Loved this especially when you went to the fairmont as I stayed there for a week at Xmas 2022. It’s a stunning hotel and one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. The little shop you got your bag charm from was where we bought some little souvenirs for home. Loved Toronto and this video brings back all the memories. Tried poutine when we went up the CN tower and it was delicious ❤
Omgosh it would be a dream to stay at the fairmont it looked sooooo nice 🥹🌷 holy smokes! Hehehe we didn’t get chance to go up the cn tower! I kind of wish we did now! Xxxx
@@catherinekayy it was an amazing place I cant rate enough. Loved Toronto too, so many things to see and people were so nice. Just placed my first order on your website too - treat myself moment after having my eye on a few bits for a while xx
WOW! Looking so yummy with your food, friend. I really want to eat this food so much. Thanks for your sharing💖😘😍😋
スカイツリーは、Tokyo JPN ♩
isn't it （笑）
Hehehe yes your right 🤣🌷🌷🌷🇯🇵🇯🇵🎌🎌🎌🎌🎌
TIMMYS!!! ❤ So funny to see you so excited in my home airport HAHA!!
That fruits, really tasty fruit? Or his tasty its soft
lol I’m so sorry but my brain stem can’t compute this comment 🤣🥲🥲
HIT UP KENSINGTON MARKET 😭😭😭
🥹🥹🥹🌷🌷🌷
did you know one of the dogs is the only one not looking at the bone? it's looking at a cat
So cool 😆🤣🌷 love this fountain!
I had brain surgery a little bit ago and ive been up in bed. I cannot tell you how much of a needed funny moment that was when you were telling Dean to look how zoomed in the camera got. Haha you always make my day!
Oh no I am so sorry, I hope your recovering okay! Thank you so much for watching, Im happy it provided a few giggles hehe 🌷
@catherinekayy Thank you! I'm healing up as well as expected. I've been subscribed to your Katnipp videos since your very first studio vlog (on my other account). I love your vibe, always so relaxing and cozy. So happy for you and Dean and was excited to watch your travels!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
should have seen the train station and the art gallery
I love St. Laurence market. The crepes place is my favourite. But I am sad that Smokes was your stop for poutine. It’s not the best. I hope you got to visit graffiti alley and OCAD (the pencil crayon building!).
Oh I really liked smokes the poutine was super nice and wholesome ahhaha! 🤣🌷 I wanna try even better poutine now I’m curious hehe 🥹🌷🌷🌷
I felt like I used to spend half my time in Toronto and I lived up in the Annex area for awhile. It's uptowards Bloor West and Casa Loma area. I was working in the city at a bake shop while I waited for my acceptance letter.
My boyfriend and I used to go to the Johnny Rockets in Yonge-Dundas Square and Spring Rolls was also nearby. (They may have closed during pandemic though.).
Also you might like a Bloody Mary (same idea but with tomato juice vs clamato juice).
Hehehe awww we actually wanted to go to casa loma but we didn’t get chance! 😆🌷 oooo Jonny rockets sounds tasty hehe thank you so much for watching 🥹🌷🌷🌷
So you are right about the moose in Brother Bear! They were voiced by 2 famous Canadians. So I guess they just wandered on over to Alaska ;)
😆🤣🌷🌷🌷 they were my fave in brother bear!
I miss my home town! :) You've captured Downtown wonderfully!
🥹🌷🌷🌷 thank you so much! I hope you enjoyed the vlog hehe
I definitely will Catherine
You are an so bit inspiration and i love your videos. You and your husband is so cute. The video mejl med Wanna go to CANADA❤
oh wow what a huge compliment and a lovely thing to say! 🌷 Thank you so so much! 😭 Im happy you enjoyed it! YOU DA BEST
I don’t know what breaks my heart more, the fact that you didn’t like the butter tart when it was one of the best looking butter tarts I’ve ever seen, or the fact your first poutine was at Smokes. 💔💔💔 I’m not saying smokes is bad, it’s fine, but most Canadians will agree that the more a place looks like a hole in the wall, the better the poutine will be. Purists will say that the best poutine is from any random, run down chip truck in Quebec but for me, so long as the curds are fresh and massive and the chips aren’t overcooked, I’m a very happy Canuck.
Oh noooo hahaha 😂🤣 everyone’s saying this about smokes but I thought it was really good 😆🤣 I must have poor taste it was so tasty and wholesome hehe 🌷 I’ll have to remember that next time I come!
Yes, there are way too many coffee shops selling sugar, syrupy drinks and processed food. Still, there are great places to eat, like Earl's or really nice steakhouses out West. You guys will love Calgary and Banff. Thanks for this travel video, iit was fun to see you 2 in another part of the world.
heheh thank you Trish! I'm happy you enjoyed it 😭🌷YOU DA BEST
Looking forward to the adventures to come!
Just happy to know in advance you made it home ok (don’t mind spoilers lol 😉)
Hehehehe 🥹🌷🌷🌷🌷🇨🇦
OMG yasss I'm so glad you guys had fun in Toronto! I would've lost my shit if I ran into you guys XD
Hehehe omg we should have totally met up! I’m sure I’ll be back hehe 🥹🌷🌷🌷🌷
Love your travel vlogs!! Watching this one whilst hungry was very dangerous on my part though 😂
heheh oh dear Im sorry heeh 🤣🙈 I hope you managed to get something tasty!
You did well, trying all our Canadian treats! Butter tarts are tricky- there are annual butter tart festivals where bakeries compete for “best” recipe….the biggest debate seems to be “raisins or no raisins”😂 You took some amazing footage of Toronto. You are so good at photography and storytelling.
Hehehe 🤣🤣🌷 I wish I tried another butter tart it might have been different! Dean loved it hahaha, aww thank you! 🥹🥹🌷
Oh my gosh Catherine, Canada looks amazing and trying all different Canadian dishes, can’t wait to see the next video of your Canadian adventures 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Hehehe aww thank you! The next one is our afdventure to get to the rockies hehe so I hope you enjoy it! YOU DA BEST 🥹🌷🌷
Loved this video! Eating around new places is my favorite thing to do. Look forward to the next vlogs!
Me tooo!!! So so fun hehehe I hope you liked it hehe 🥹🌷🌷🌷
Wow! That market is amazing! I’ve never seen anything like it in the USA.
It was super cool inside! It reminds me of the big markets in Europe! 🥹🌷
I love seeing your perspective of seeing Canada for the first time! I do agree that butter tarts are quite indulgent. My favorite flavor is a toasted coconut one...I feel like it cuts the sweetness a bit! Another super sweet Canadian desert is a nanaimo bar. That would be something Dean would like for sure! 😁
OooooOoooo toasted coconut sounds amazing Dean would love that actually! 🥹🌷
I love the colour grading you've done on this! The pinks and blues are really popping, it looks so pretty
Oh wow that’s a huge compliment thank you!! I do love colour grading 😂❤
Oh I wish I knew you were here I would have come to say hello.
Hope you enjoy Canada we have been here 10 years. We are from Lancashire ❤
Hehehe oh wow! Do you live in Toronto?! ❤ are you staying in Canada for good? It is a wonderful country!
as a Canadian that lives near the places you showed it was fun to get your opinion, hugs from central Ontario Canada ❤️
Hehehe aww you live in a lovely part of the world hehe 🥹🌷🌷🌷
😋🥞🥞🌺🌷
Hehehe 🥹🌷🌷
Hope Canada was a blast♡♡♡♡ when I went last summer I was in love with the poutine! Hahah
Hehehe poutine is so wholesome and tasty hahah I loved it! 🥹🌷🌷🌷
We leave the Christmas lights up as winters are long so they stay up till Spring which is May here ❤
Ahhh! That actually makes sense hehe ❤😂
The Paddington bear commentary made me cackle 😂
🤣 he’s had a rough life
From now on, I'm calling the CN Tower, The Sky Tree 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😆🤣 I got it confused with Tokyo! 😆🤣
That's okay. It's gonna be a cool nickname@@catherinekayy
I'm excited too see how you like the Rocky Mountains, but nervous to see how the driving was for you 😬😬
Eeeekk you’ll find out in the next one I was so nervous ahhaha 🤣😆😆
@@catherinekayy If the rental company didn't give you snow tires - we REVOLT!! ;)
I had my surgery 5 days ago, so that montage of food at the start was like omg no! Lol
Oh no 😂😂😂❤ I know the feeling! Dammit! 😅😂❤ good luck with your journey!
I love your videos so muchhhh, I do have one criticism with this and the last video is that the music felt very repetitive with the same song and lyrics over and over. I look foreword to your videos every week so please don't think I'm trying to be rude its just a suggestion.
Oh no I’m sorry! I do love that song 😂 I think that’s why I used this again! I’ll take this on board hehehe thank you! ❤
How funny, I had the opposite reaction! I absolutely LOVED that song! It made me start dancing and singing along whenever it played 🥰
Do they have a house of pancakes in Canada? It’s called IHOP. They have the most amazing pancakes.
I have no idea actually! I can’t remember seeing one! 😮❤
We’ve got one in Brampton (Toronto suburb, about 40 minutes west). Otherwise I don’t think we’ve got them here; it’s an American chain.
@@RSkies that could be true, although their name starts with the word International, 😂. Their headquarters are two blocks from my home. When it comes to fine dining, though, Canada is really high up there. I have experienced some of the best dining in Canada, and I grew up in the New York metropolitan area where there are top level restaurants.
Not egg "snot" egg "jam"! 😋 3:00
😂 do you like the egg white? 😮 I wish I did but it groses me out so muchb😅😂❤
ice cap is like 90% sugar lol
lol whoopsie
Welcome to communist Canada. 🇨🇦 We need a lot of help. Alberta is the best Province🇨🇦🇨🇦🛫💜
Great video !
Thank you so much Louise I’m happy you enjoyed it 🥹🌷🌷🌷🌷
