Hot  Dining

EXTENDED
ENTERTAINMENT
Only a convenient, short walk from the
new Rogers Place, Stage 104 Kitchen
+ Lounge (pg 58) is an energetic
entertainment and food destination.
Extend your night out downtown before
or after an event with its regularly
featured comedy nights, jam sessions,
and other special events. While you’re
being entertained, enjoy a refreshing
craft beer or cocktail and some
internationally inspired cuisine, such
as the Cevapi-style sandwiches: grilled
minced pork and beef served on a housemade bun.

GO DUTCH
With modern, amiable décor, De Dutch (pg 54) serves up
classic breakfast and lunch foods with a twist from the
Netherlands. You may need to go Dutch on more than
just your bill as the Pannekoeken — at a diameter of 12
inches — works out to 113 square-inch bites! Its light flavour
and soft texture makes it adaptable for both savoury and
sweet breakfasts. The Canadian style is topped with sliced
tomatoes, free-run eggs, crisp bacon, and a drizzle of maple
syrup. Or make your own sweet specialty by starting with
a light dusting of icing sugar, adding fruit toppings — from
strawberry to peach — and fresh whipped cream.

BENTO BITES
Though its name means “traditional
Japanese cuisine,” this Asian hot spot also
features Korean food, including Veggie
Dolsot Bibimbap served in a sizzling
stone bowl and tender, sweet Galbi Ribs.
The real highlight at Washoku Bistro (pg
60) is its large variety of lunch bentos at
affordable prices. Choose from a Sushi
and Roll Bento or a Bulgogi Bento — both
of which are accompanied by crunchy
tempura and fresh salad, and the latter
with sautéed veggies and rice.
