Shop with Chef in historic downtown Toronto!
This week we explore exciting, multi cultural Toronto - with fine dining, live theatre, authentic festivals, world class attractions and diverse neighbourhoods. Visit www.SeeTorontoNow.Com for fantastic deals like three hotel nights for the price of two. There are also great value packages to help book your hotel, tickets and everything you need to make your Toronto trip complete - whether you are looking for family fun, couples escapes or girlfriends getaways.
A Toronto landmark, The Fairmont Royal York depicts the refinement of the past while providing the finest in modern conveniences. It offers a full service health club with pool, a Xerox centre and nine food and beverage outlets including the hotel's signature dining room, EPIC. Over its eighty year history, The Fairmont Royal York has played host to royalty, heads of state and entertainment celebrities. The hotel is also a “rising star” in the Toronto movie industry.
A recent transformation of the hotel’s meeting spaces and public areas, combined with its 1,365 guest rooms and award winning culinary and environmental initiatives has kept Toronto’s Four Diamond "Grand Dame" of hotels at the forefront. Located in the heart of downtown Toronto, The Fairmont Royal York is within walking distance to the business and theatre districts, sporting venues, attractions and the city's best shopping and dining.
Under the direction of Restaurant Chef Tim Palmer, the EPIC culinary and service team welcome diners to this new interpretation of a Toronto classic. EPIC has a reputation for innovation and quality and infuses it with premium quality regional elements.
EPIC’s fluid, contemporary design is an effective backdrop for a menu that features the best of Ontario’s growers. Seasonally, hand-nurtured herbs from the rooftop garden, 14 stories above Front Street, brighten each dish. Desserts are flavoured with hand-harvested roof top honey. And as a certified Ocean Wise restaurant, EPIC’s fish and shellfish choices contribute to sustainable oceans for generations to come. Complimenting each course, the wine list has received the VQA Award of Excellence for the past two years and features renowned Ontario and international wines.
The Fairmont Royal York Hotel offers a “Shop With Chef” package. Guests spend Saturday morning in St. Lawrence market with a professional Chef, learning his secrets to the selection of quality local products. Chef will share his shopping haunts and hints for sustainable meat, fish and produce shopping. And then in the evening guests enjoy a four course menu in the EPIC Restaurant, The Fairmont Royal York’s signature Four Diamond restaurant.
Tune in Saturday to win a trip for two with Tourism Toronto and the Fairmont Royal York Hotel. Begin with Business Class travel with VIA Rail to Toronto, where you will be pampered onboard with a full-course meal served with wine. Enjoy a “Shop with Chef” package including two nights in a Fairmont deluxe room with Tea for Two in the Library Bar, a tour of St. Lawrence market, a neighbourhood history tour – and dinner in the EPIC Restaurant. PLUS discover Toronto with CityPASS booklets to Toronto’s most popular attractions.
