Fine Dining in Toronto: The Courtyard Cafe at the Windsor Arms Hotel

Modern decadence meets old world charm at the Windsor Arms Hotel, Toronto's favorite boutique hotel. At this luxurious hideaway-- a favorite host for fashion shoots and exclusive parties-- guest rooms are inspired by a 1920's French style, with custom mahogany furnishings and cozy fireplaces. The hotel is home to The Courtyard Café, a star on Toronto's culinary scene, which recently debuted a brand new menu. Get ready to drool. Start with some scrumptious, tasty delights including Dungeness crab and chorizo sausage rice cakes, sweet potato gnocchi with roasted oyster and Portobello mushrooms in asiago-saffron cream sauce, wok-friend mussels, or wild salmon and scallop sashimi "salad." For your second plate, choose from date-crusted Australian lamb with mango-coconut chutney, duck confit with roasted fennel, winter squash, and pearl onion risotto with truffle essence, slow braised Ontario venison shank with northern white bean-leek cassoulet, porcini mushroom demi and shaved black truffle, or miso-maple black cod with soba seaweed salad and shimeji mushroom tempura. Mmmmm.
