ALLEN'S          American
A tribute to the Irish-American saloons of old New York, with a glow of comfortable tradition. The grand oak bar is noted for serving "every whiskey known to man", with Toronto's most extensive beer list. Changing monthly, the menu concentrates on the freshest ingredients in entirely homemade preparation. Traditional, but sophisticated Irish fare features Kerry lamb, fresh smoked Atlantic salmon, and the noble potato presented in eight different ways.

MYTH           Mediterranean
The baffling, bold design will stop you in your tracks; blending a comfortable feel (pool tables, a long friendly bar, sidewalk patio) and sophisticated, high-tech design. Ancient myths are played out with giant shields, the bulks of ships and grand artifacts, in a brilliant colour scheme. Greek haute cuisine combined with avant-garde dishes, are prepared with a serious yet imaginative flair. Freshest, finest ingredients are selected daily. The wine list is one of the best in the city. Energy prevails with an upbeat staff that transmits sincere hospitality.
