Here’s my advice with The Drake Hotel, order everything. I have yet to be disappointed by a dish at The Drake! Everything is made with heart and soul. Queen West is considered the “hipster” part of town here in Toronto, so expect relaxed vibes and plaid shirts. You’ll often rub elbows with celebs like Justin Timberlake, Lauren Conrad, Kate Bosworth, Robert De Niro?, while visiting. Quite the mix! Head on up to the Sky Yard in the summer time (my personal fave) and enjoy the twinkly lights and “lemonade stand” on the patio. The corner cafe is perfect for an easy Sunday morning. The Drake is a booming hot spot for culture in the city (music, food, the drake general store etc.), visit for brunch or dinner and you will be pleased beyond measure. I am still heartbroken over their choice to discontinue my favourite dish, the baked broccoli mac and cheese (especially in that mason jar? I mean…).
