There's a short list of gifts that reliably make the person receiving them feel genuinely special — and hand-dipped, chocolate-covered strawberries are on it. Shireen Sweets in Vaughan has turned this classic into a serious craft, producing gourmet chocolate strawberries that are as beautiful to look at as they are to eat. Operating out of Concord in Vaughan, Shireen Sweets is a boutique confectionery specialising in the kind of indulgent, occasion-worthy treats that photograph beautifully and taste exactly as good as they look. The strawberries are hand-dipped in high-quality chocolate, finished with care, and packaged for gifting — making them an obvious choice for birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, or simply because you want to make someone feel thought of on a random Tuesday. The appeal of Shireen Sweets extends beyond the product itself. In an era of mass-produced gift boxes assembled in warehouses and shipped from across the country, a locally made, handcrafted gift from a small artisan in Vaughan has a different energy. The person receiving it knows someone made a considered choice — and that consideration is part of the gift. As a Between the Covers Magazine subscriber, your order comes with 10% off — a straightforward discount on top of Shireen's already competitive pricing. Whether you're placing a single order for a special occasion or stocking up on gifts for an event, the 10% discount applies to your order total. For anyone in the Vaughan, Concord, Woodbridge, or broader GTA area looking for a gourmet gift option that goes beyond a standard box of chocolates, Shireen Sweets is worth knowing about. The product is the kind of thing people remember receiving, and the business is exactly the kind of local gem that BTC perks were designed to connect subscribers with. Indulgent gifts, thoughtful sourcing, and a discount for being a Between the Covers Magazine subscriber. This is what the perks program looks like in practice: real businesses making real products, with real savings reserved for the women who subscribe.
Some things are too important to trust to a grocery store bakery section. A milestone birthday cake. A wedding cake. A celebration that deserves something made by someone who actually cares about what they're handing you. Fiona McKnight Cakes in Scarborough, Toronto is exactly that someone. Fiona McKnight is an artisan cake designer operating out of Scarborough — and if you haven't already heard about her through a friend's Instagram post or a celebration that stopped everyone in the room, you're about to. Her work sits at the intersection of genuine craft and serious flavour: cakes that look stunning and taste exactly as good as they look, which is rarer than it should be. The portfolio spans custom celebration cakes, tiered wedding cakes, cupcakes, and event desserts — all made to order, all tailored to the brief. Whether you want a minimalist buttercream finish or an elaborate fondant showpiece, Fiona approaches every commission with the same attention to detail. Flavour profiles range from the classics to more adventurous combinations, and every element is made from quality ingredients rather than the shelf-stable shortcuts that most commercial bakeries rely on. The studio is at 7 Westbourne Avenue in Scarborough, which means Fiona serves clients across east Toronto, the GTA, and beyond. Custom cakes of this calibre often have weeks-long lead times for good reason — they're made to order, individually designed, and require planning. If you have an upcoming occasion worth celebrating, the time to reach out is now. As a Between the Covers Magazine subscriber, your order comes with 15% off — applied across the full range of Fiona McKnight Cakes' offerings. On a custom wedding cake or a large celebration order, 15% is a substantial saving that doesn't require you to compromise on anything. The quality stays exactly the same; the price doesn't. For Torontonians looking for custom cakes in Scarborough, wedding cake designers in the GTA, or an artisan baker who treats your order as seriously as you do, Fiona McKnight Cakes is the answer. The 15% subscriber discount through Between the Covers Magazine is the push to make the call you've been putting off. Great food at a great table is one thing. A cake that people are still talking about at the end of the night is another. Subscribe to BTC Magazine and let Fiona McKnight make that cake for you.
Bar Locale in Newmarket is the kind of restaurant that earns its following through consistency. The food is genuinely good. The cocktails are genuinely good. The atmosphere is warm, buzzy, and well-designed — the kind of room that makes an ordinary Wednesday feel like an occasion worth dressing for. Situated at 500 Water Street in Newmarket, Bar Locale is part of the same Locale family as the King City and Aurora locations: a group that has built a strong reputation across York Region for Italian-focused menus, strong cocktail programs, and front-of-house service that actually seems to enjoy the work. The Newmarket location has its own character — described by guests as beautiful and vibrant, with an energy that hits the right note between lively dinner spot and upscale local gathering place. The menu leans into Italian flavours with a modern sensibility: sharing plates, handcrafted pasta, carpaccio, octopus dishes that have become regulars in reviews, and the kind of wine list that suggests someone in the kitchen actually drinks wine and thinks about what pairs well with the food coming out of it. The cocktail program is inventive and executed with care — not just a list of drinks but an actual bar offering. One caveat worth knowing: Bar Locale is a room that gets loud on busy evenings. If you're looking for a whisper-quiet intimate setting, evenings can be energetic. If you want a room with good energy, good food, and good drinks — this is it. Reviews consistently place it among the best restaurants in Newmarket, Ontario, and the high return-visit rate suggests that guests are finding what they came for. As a Between the Covers Magazine subscriber, you receive $25 off your bill at Bar Locale Newmarket — an exclusive perk that makes a great restaurant night even better. The discount is applied directly to your bill, no complicated conditions. Just a straightforward $25 back for being a BTC subscriber. For restaurant deals in Newmarket, Italian dining savings in York Region, or simply your next dinner reservation worth making, Bar Locale is the answer. Subscribe to Between the Covers Magazine and use your $25 subscriber discount the next time you walk through their door.
Locale Aurora has earned a 4.8 rating on OpenTable from over 2,600 reviews — a number that's hard to argue with and even harder to maintain. In the competitive York Region restaurant market, where options multiply constantly and diners have high expectations, that kind of sustained reputation means something. Situated on Yonge Street in Aurora, Locale Aurora is the sister restaurant to the iconic King City location — same DNA, same commitment to a chef-led scratch kitchen, same Italian-focused menu philosophy, different room and slightly different personality. Where King City leans into the historic building and neighbourhood character of the four corners, Aurora operates as an energetic neighbourhood restaurant and bar that draws a mix of regulars and newcomers who've been steered there by a friend's recommendation. The menu is Italian-focused with seasonal intelligence, featuring handcrafted cocktails, an impressive wine list, and a kitchen that treats ingredients with respect. The service culture at Locale has been praised consistently across all three locations — warm, attentive, professionally executed — and the Aurora location upholds that standard. Brunch on Sundays has become a standout offering: a leisurely, well-priced experience that takes the best elements of the Locale formula and applies them to daytime dining. It's become a fixture for Aurora and York Region regulars looking for something better than the standard eggs-and-toast neighbourhood option. As a Between the Covers Magazine subscriber, your bill at Locale Aurora comes with $25 off — an exclusive discount that makes an already great restaurant night an even stronger proposition. Whether you're coming for dinner on a date, catching Sunday brunch with friends, or celebrating something that deserves a good table, the $25 saves without requiring any compromise on what you order. For fine dining deals in Aurora, Italian restaurant savings in York Region, or a reservation at one of the area's consistently top-rated spots, Locale Aurora is the obvious choice. Subscribe to BTC Magazine, grab your exclusive discount code, and book the table you've been meaning to book.
There are restaurants you go to when you want a good meal, and then there are restaurants that become a part of how you think about your neighbourhood. Locale in King City is the second kind. Housed in a charming 160-year-old building at the four corners of beautiful King City, Ontario, Locale has turned a historic space into one of York Region's most beloved dining destinations. The building's character — original wood floors, high ceilings, the kind of architectural patina that can't be manufactured — gives the restaurant a warmth that immediately sets it apart from the purpose-built dining rooms that dominate most suburban commercial strips. The kitchen is chef-led and scratch-made. The menu is Italian-focused with seasonal intelligence — meaning the dishes on the plate in October are not the same dishes on the plate in April, because the kitchen actually follows what's available and at its best. You'll find handcrafted pasta, beautifully executed proteins, and the kind of sharing dishes that make dinner feel like an event rather than a transaction. The cocktail program is notable, and the wine list is genuinely curated rather than assembled from the most obvious labels. Locale operates across two floors and has a seasonal patio — meaning whatever the season, there's a corner of the room that feels exactly right. The atmosphere has been described consistently as energetic and neighbourhood-feeling: busy enough to feel alive, thoughtful enough to feel intimate. It's the kind of place where you can celebrate an anniversary and also stop in on a Tuesday just because you want a proper meal. The service has been praised across hundreds of reviews for being warm, professional, and genuinely attentive — the kind of service culture that's built from the inside out rather than scripted and enforced from a manual. As a Between the Covers Magazine subscriber, you receive $25 off your bill at Locale King City — an exclusive perk that makes one of York Region's best Italian restaurants an even stronger choice for your next dinner out. Whether it's date night, a family celebration, or a catch-up with someone important, the $25 saving changes what's possible on the menu. Locale is open for lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch — full details at localerestaurants.ca. Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly on weekends, as it books out regularly. For fine dining deals in King City, Italian restaurant savings in York Region, or simply a reason to finally make that reservation you've been meaning to make, this is the offer. Subscribe to Between the Covers Magazine and bring $25 off your next evening at Locale.
Catering is one of those things where the gap between mediocre and exceptional is enormous — and the difference usually shows up in the details. The temperature of the food when it arrives. Whether the presentation holds up through service. The flavour of something that was clearly made with intention versus something assembled from a standard prep list. Savour Us Catering in Vaughan lands firmly on the exceptional side. Operating out of Maple, Vaughan, Savour Us is a boutique catering company that brings a genuine culinary sensibility to private events, corporate gatherings, and special occasions. The 5% discount for Between the Covers Magazine subscribers applies to your first catering order — an introduction to a service that many first-time clients quickly become repeat clients for. That 5% on a catering order can be meaningful depending on the scale of your event. Catering for even a modest gathering adds up quickly, and the subscriber discount is a way to get a taste of what Savour Us does while keeping your first order more accessible. What sets Savour Us apart in the crowded GTA catering market is the approach: bespoke menus built around the event, quality ingredients, and the kind of execution that treats your gathering as a reflection of your own taste and standards. Whether you're hosting a dinner party, a corporate lunch, a baby shower, or a milestone birthday gathering, the food should feel considered — not catered in the generic sense. For event catering in Vaughan, private catering services in the GTA, or simply a caterer for your next special occasion, Savour Us is worth contacting early — availability books up for key dates. The BTC subscriber discount makes your first inquiry and your first order that much more straightforward. Subscribe to Between the Covers Magazine and unlock your 5% off first catering order at Savour Us — one of many exclusive savings available to BTC subscribers across Ontario.
