"The soaring walls and undulating ceiling mural which define this space on the St. Regis Toronto’s 31st floor are meant to emulate the experience of being inside a glass of whiskey, as a nod to Toronto’s Prohibition-era history as one of the world’s great distillery cities. In fact, there’s a whiskey list here that’s almost 700 bottles strong. There's nothing overly complex or offputtingly fancy about the menu here. It's French-inflected bistro fare, but where possible, the luxury dial is turned way, way up. Come here for a date night, to mark a special occasion, or to impress a colleague: the whole organic truffle chicken ($87) is a mouthwatering and satisfying classic, and the 13-layer, sky-scraping King’s Cake ($55) is unapologetically indulgent. If you're a fine dining glamor puss who thrives on a more-is-more aesthetic, add this one to your list. Especially if someone else is paying." - Todd Plummer
