destination dining
downtown The RBC Convention Centre , Bell MTS Place , numerous hotels and entertainment venues made downtown the city ’ s buzzy hub for work and play . After work happy hour or a pre-event meal are equally served by a plethora of chic restaurants . Carbone dishes out crispy pizzas blasted by 850˚F coal-fuelled heat . Coal-fired wings pair well with a draught from the unique tableside self-pour system . A stylish haven for meat lovers , Carne Italian Chophouse is the place for perfectly flame-kissed steaks . Try the 1 kg ribsteak for two , and gorgeous Italian inflected pastas and sides . Steps away from the convention centre , East India Company ’ s legendary buffet beckons with an expansive array of Indian cuisine ( 17-20 hot entrées are featured each night ). The enticing aromas of rich chana masala and spicy chicken 65 fill an elegant room bedecked with elaborate South Asian artifacts . At
Dessert Sinsations Café , hearty meals of reimagined comfort food are the prelude to chef Barbara O ’ Hare ’ s towering berry loaded tortes . The perfect late night pit stop is the subterranean room at Shannon ’ s Irish Pub . The Guinness flows freely , local bands take the stage , and the juicy lamb burger smeared with goat cheese is a hit .

BALMORAL ST west broadway Tree-lined Sherbrook Street acts as the heart of up-and-coming West Broadway , an artsy enclave flanked by residential streets . At Boon Burger , bean and veggie based patties are the basis for the all-vegan menu . Vegan poutine , with baked sesame
fries , veggie gravy , and dairy-free cheese , makes for a guilt free treat . At kitschy-cool diner The Tallest Poppy , chef Talia Syrie combines soul food inspiration with local ingredients . Pair a killer beef brisket sandwich with a creative cocktail from the bar . New spot Khao House is small but mighty , with a handful of seats and a succinct menu of Laotian and pan Asian fare from chef Randy Khounnoraj . Pork ramen gets extra punch from spicy bamboo shreds and a jammy soft boiled egg . Bistro Dansk has been serving European specialties since 1977 , and the perfectly pillowy housemade bread is still garnering rave reviews . Long time favourite The Nook Diner appeals equally to hipsters nursing hangovers , young families , and seniors , with a menu of classic breakfast staples . Fully loaded omelettes are delivered to the table nearly bursting at the seams with cheese .
