Best Canadian Restaurants in King East

Amazing food, great atmosphere, but it’s the service that is particularly remarkable. I had the elk, and our server was knowledgeable about where the elk was from and when it was harvested. Same with the scallops. Cool. After our meal but before dessert, he presented us some canadian cheese with a story about cheese in canada. Great cheese, interesting story. But the best part was after that, he offered us dessert. Nothing sounded particularly interesting to us at the time, so we asked for the check. When he came back, we asked if there was a place around to get a tiramisu and an espresso. He quickly asked what time it was, because he was going to run out and get us one. But it was late the place he was going to visit had already closed. He gave us some suggestions for the next night, and brought us the check. He THEN surprisingly showed up with a “canadian tiramisu” (as he called it) that he had asked the kitchen to make for us. It was chocolate cake and chocolate moose with some meringues. First off: delicious, just like the rest of the meal had been. But more importantly: WOW! He didn’t have to do that at all. He went out of his way to make the dinner extra special for us. We talked about it the entire way back to the hotel and I’m taking the time to write this out for whoever reads this next. I 100% recommend Woods.

Delicious food, fantastic service. Main restaurant was a little cramped but we were seated in a private room which we were very grateful for! We had an outstanding experience.

As usual, afternoon tea at the Lobby Lounge was amazing. The food was tasty and the service is always top notch (you feel cared for and important). The piano music is beautiful but maybe because of the way the lobby is designed it can sound kind of loud and you have to speak louder to have conversations.

A wonderful place for a wonderful dinner. I always enjoy Hothouse and last night was no exception. The wait staff was outstanding and in short supply. Food was great. The place is an always quiet enough for conversation. The only sort of disappointment ( just sort of) was the strawberry shortcake which was very dry. But! The decadent chocolate cake was outstanding!! We’ll be back soon.

Vela has been on the list of places to visit for some time. Since Marvin left 7Enoteca in Oakville and took the helm at Vela, we have wanted to get round to check it out. Fortunately today we were able to dine at Vela and it did not disappoint! (Other than Marvin not being in for todays service). The environment is stunning. The food is amazing. The service was attentive. (Many thanks Sandy, not only on the food advice, but the wine advice as well!) We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and look forward to returning to try the tasting menu at the counter. That type of experience is right up our alley!
