Description:
DOWNTOWN. Chef Mark McEwen (of North 44° fame) has a loyal following – one meal here, and you'll be joining the fan club. The space itself is attractive: uncluttered, with smooth lines and a muted color palette, it's a nice foil for McEwen's contemporary Continental cuisine. Foie gras is pan-seared and paired with the acidic tang of rhubarb compote and crunch of onion tempura. The signature Bymark Burger is topped with brie, pancetta, grilled porcini, shaved truffles and crisp onion rings. USDA Prime steaks, scallops with crab ravioli, whole roasted sea bream with fennel confit – it's all good. Each dish on the menu has a by-the-glass wine suggestion. Dinner is undeniably pricey, but lunch is just as good with less wallet impact. |

(Restaurants - Canadian) |

Distance:
~156 m * |
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. The view isn't the only far-reaching aspect of Canoe. The contemporary Canadian menu may take its cue from fresh regional produce, but preparation and flavor combinations are globally inspired. From appetizers such as seared bluefin tuna with wasabi caviar, straight through to desserts like ricotta-hazelnut blintz accompanied by lindenberry preserves and maple-chai ice cream, the international influence is unmistakable. Traditional steaks and chops are also excellent, and sides are always inventive and flavorful. |

Canyon Creek Chophouse |

|
|
Distance:
~204 m * |
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. The rustic stone, wood and leather decor of Canyon Creek is the perfect counterpart for its menu of steaks, fish and chops. Steak purists will be delighted with their options – simply grilled top quality beef, served with salad and potato or rice. Of course, there are other equally good choices, including cedar planked salmon, double cut pork chops, lamb and veal chops, and a fabulous chipotle sirloin. Save room for the signature dessert: bread pudding studded with brandy-soaked cranberries and white and dark chocolate chunks. Solid wine list. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. The aptly named Vertical is situated on the mezzanine of the tallest building in Canada. The stylish decor extends to the patio, which is prime real estate during fine weather. It’s a popular destination for power lunches and business dinners, as well as after-work drinks. Chef Tawfik Shehata’s menu is Mediterranean – you’ll find influences of Italy, Spain and Greece, along with a few good old North American steaks accompanied by sides like gnocchi and roasted cauliflower. Fish is a strong suit, arriving at the table perfectly cooked and seasoned. |

Distance:
~407 m * |
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. Owned by the Oliver Bonacini group (which also owns the much lauded Canoe and Auberge du Pommier), Biff's is a charming French bistro serving a traditional menu. Steak frites, duck confit, bouillabaisse and mussels Provençale are standouts, but there are additional options like braised rabbit, arctic char with celeriac and cabbage remoulade, and grilled quail. The prix fixe option is a great deal. |

Hy's |

(Restaurants - American) |

120 Adelaide St W, Toronto M5H 1T1 416-364-6600
|
|
Distance:
~440 m * |
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. Part of a small, historic steakhouse chain, Hy's is something of a Toronto institution, and it is a lovely place to enjoy a special night out. Perfectly aged steaks are the draw, with several cuts and preparations available, from an expertly charcoal broiled NY strip to a more elaborate filet mignon topped with crab and hollandaise. The Cajun spice rubbed ribeye is a winner, but one of the most popular choices is prime rib served with Yorkshire pudding. Sides include beer battered onion rings, fresh spinach or asparagus, and grilled tomatoes. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. Housed in the elegant 1917 Toronto Harbour Commission building, this upscale steakhouse sets the standard in Toronto. Steaks are king, whether you're a ribeye kind of person or you prefer a porterhouse, Harbour 60 accommodates. The prime rib is second to none, as well, but if you're not in the mood for steak, the veal chops and grilled ahi are excellent choices. An award-winning wine list stretches to over 20 pages, with over 700 selections, and desserts are more than worthy of their stylish surroundings. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. Upon stepping into the super-stylish Monsoon you'll immediately notice the subtle lighting and peaceful color palette. The ambience is in perfect harmony with the pan-Asian menu, which blends the cuisines of various cultures with dramatic results.
