Food Scene
Eric Dammann is the chef at this fantastic restaurant. He once worked with Jamie Oliver and it's just superb. It's one of Canada's top 100 restaurants and has a really awesome pubby atmosphere, serving up really delicious food. It is one of our pricier recommendation but definitely worth a try either for brunch, supper, or just a drink!
