Low key dinner #3, aka Stuff I've eaten - Toronto Edition

So, after coming back from the museum, Ken was all enthused to have dinner from a kebab shack near the hotel. We stopped at a bottle shop, grabbed some cider and such and were on our way to the shack when Ken looked at the hotel and said, "Hey, it looks like our hotel has a revolving restaurant". Delighted to have an option other than pier kebab, I suggested we put the booze on ice and give it a try.

Sadly the restaurant used to revolve, but does so no longer (I think by management decision, rather than disrepair). Still it was reasonable fare:

Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail

Filetto Alla San Marco, with seared Foie Gras,
Amarone Reduction and Sliced Truffles.

Lobster tail side.

Tiramisu


After which we retired to our room to drink cider and watch TV. We caught the last few minutes of the recent 21 Jump Street film, which seemed funny from what we saw and we were slightly disappointed we missed it. Fear not. Canadian TV to the rescue. Forget "channel name +2" or any of that nonsense, let's just show the movie twice in a row. So we drank cider and watched 21 Jump St.

PSA: Fizzy alcoholic coconut water is disgusting.

Some other stuff I ate in Toronto:

Buffet lunch at Niagra

St Lawrence Market's famous Peameal Bacon Sandwich 

Tim Horton's less famous bacon breakfast maple biscuit

A Canadian maple donut, also from Tim Horton's 
Tim Horton's coffee is worse than Starbucks (but not by much) and better than most regular North American coffee (by a wide margin).
