Description:
The Fairmont Hotel Macdonald's Sunday brunch is quite the ritzy affair. It's then that the Empire Ballroom, formerly the hotel's main dining room, is set for a sumptuous midday buffet. If your notion of brunch is something akin to a jazzed up breakfast, you'll be immediately drawn to the crepe and omelette stations, and tables laden with breads, sweet pastries and fresh fruits. If you prefer a more savory approach, try the stir fry station, or sample the ever-changing array of lunch options such as Cajun rockfish with ratatouille or pasta primavera gratin. Of course, grazing is also an option: try a bit of this and a little of that, but be sure to visit the dessert table at least once. And while you're catching your second wind, take note of the beautifully painted ceiling, 24 feet above. Seatings on the hour; reservations are essential. |

Culina became a near instant classic when it opened, attracting raves both for its funky non-standard décor as well as its creative global cuisine. Even the music, piped in at exactly the right volume, is an eclectic variety that's well-suited to the space and the innovative cooking. It's all so very trendy, without being the least bit precious. Dinner options are wonderfully creative, such as pork tenderloin steaks in almond-cardamom cream sauce over cous cous, and goat cheese and channa dal in phyllo with tomato chutney and Chinese greens. For dessert, sample lemon cake and fruit dipped in butterscotch fondue. Sunday night is Family Night with special, prix-fixe dining with food served on family-style platters. This is fine dining on a casual dining budget. |
