  • We were staying at the Shangri-La for a wedding over a weekend recently, and with Bosk - a fine-looking dining establishment - in the lobby, it made it easy not to think too hard about where to grab some food or a drink. It is open quite late, and with an outdoors patio that has fireplaces turned on for cool summer nights, it can be a very chill place to hang out despite being right at street level in the heart of downtown Toronto. Inside has the feel of a clean-cut, Asian-influenced dining space (lots of light wood on the walls and common tables out front), matching the general ambiance that the hotel gives off. Service was mixed - pretty good for brunch, when it was less crowded, but less attentive when we came for cocktails late Friday night. Nonetheless, that's not a gating issue that should prevent you from coming to visit. The cocktails, surprisingly, were the weaker aspect of what we experienced here. While the beef tartare was good and incorporated a lot of herbs and dots of mustard, making for a very nice late-night bar snack, the cocktails were always strong on the liquor, and I was quite disappointed in the gin and honey cocktail...the burnt honey didn't work very well with the gin, creating a bit of a clash flavor-wise. Brunch, however, was excellent. 'Bennys' are big in Canada, and the East Coast - with a hollandaise that reeked (in a good way) of lobster and topped with a little caviar, was absolutely divine. My wife went with the 'Morning After', and aside from being a very generous helping of breakfast food, all of the meats (especially the more American-style smoked bacon) were delicious. Perhaps not surprisingly, given the experience a couple nights prior, the drink was again the weak spot - the local craft IPA was too light and a tad bitter given the lightness...perhaps the local breweries need to improve their game! Despite the booze I had not being my favorite (there is a very healthy wine collection that I did not sample at all from), the food was generally excellent, and for those looking for modern Canadian cuisine (which seems pretty much the same as modern American), you won't come away disappointed. Even if you aren't staying in the Shangri-La, Bosk is worth a visit for a proper meal, although it does have a nice vibe for the late night as well.
