Where to Trot on Thanksgiving
Sat, 10/08/2011 - 08:15
It’s been lodged in the back of your brain since Labour Day: the looming toilfest that is Thanksgiving. Take heed, gentle tryptophan fan—this annual indulgence doesn’t need to tax your tail feathers unduly. Here are some outside-the-coop options for getting your turkey on.
Feast your eyes along with your belly with a Thanksgiving eat-a-thon 1,151 feet up in Toronto’s oxygen. The prix-fixe Monday dinner (also offered on the Yank-friendly November 24) features such up-in-the-air exotica as roast pork stuffed with calvados prunes and roasted squash, and pumpkin seed fettuccini. Dinner’s $52 a head; the view, however, is free and for nothing.
Introduce an element of stateliness to your proceedings with a Thanksgiving meal at Toronto’s most regal of lodgings. Three Sunday brunch sittings are held in the august conservatory and library. Follow up the candied yams and maple-baked toupee ham with a toss-back of the complimentary pumpkin pie liqueur. Adults are $51.45 and kids are $13.45 (1-3) or $26.45 (4-12). Taxes are extra.
Go traditional this year with an 1800s-era sit-down at the Historic Brewery Restaurant at the Half Way House Restaurant on the Black Creek grounds. The eats at this three-course throwback—from butternut squash soup to oven-roasted Ontario turkey with sage and sausage stuffing—are as traditional as gratitude. There are three sittings on both Sunday and Monday, and the price of dinner ($53.99 for adults, $27 for kids) includes admission to the village. Taxes are extra.
Seasons Restaurant, Westin Prince
Cauliflower bisque with smoked Atlantic salmon and roast Ontario turkey with sage and apple stuffing are on offer at this elegant eatery for folks with a taste for hotel fare on their Thanksgiving plate. The three-course prix-fixe meal, which culminates with traditional sour cherry and apple strudel, is offered at four separate sittings on the Sunday. The cost is $55 per person.
Take in the fall colours along with your trimmed roast beef, salmon, shrimp and pasta at The Old Mill Inn Dining Room this thankful day. The brunch buffet, featuring the usual suspects, spills out on both the Sunday and Monday, from 10:30 am to 3 pm. A second sitting takes place in the evening. In the daytime, adults are $37.95 and children are $19; in the evening, adults are $39.95 and children are $20.
