Taste the wild

Our annual celebration of Canada’s rich culinary landscape is back! Don your finest plaid and coziest toque and join us for a night celebrating uniquely Canadian ingredients. This year’s feast features acclaimed guest chefs François-Emmanuel Nicol of Quebec’s two-Michelin-star Tanière3 (#5 on North America’s 50 Best) and Albert Ponzo of Picton’s iconic Royal Hotel, recipient of a Michelin Key—an honour recognizing the country’s most exceptional hotels.

Experience an evening of epicurean exploration as we savour a bounty of wild game, fish, and our country’s homegrown harvest while supporting a noble Canadian cause. Enjoy dinner in our 54th-floor dining room, or watch as chefs carefully prepare each course from the best seat in the house with our Exclusive Chef’s Rail Tickets.

Charity: This year, we’re proud to donate proceeds to Ducks Unlimited Canada, a leading conservation organization dedicated to protecting and restoring the wetlands, water, and wildlife that define our nation’s natural heritage.

Please note: Due to the nature of this event, uninspected wild-caught fish and game will be featured, making vegetarian and vegan options unavailable. Our skilled chefs will strive to accommodate allergies and dietary constraints; however, certain courses may be modified or omitted altogether. All proceeds will be donated to Ducks Unlimited Canada. 

Additional beverages will be available for purchase on-site.

Tickets are currently sold out. Please call the restaurant at (416) 364-0054 if you’d like to be placed on the waitlist.
