| Transcript | RESTAURANT REVIEW For those who wish to stay within the environs of the hotel for the whole weekend, the Westin provides a more than adequate food service. However, for those of you who wish to eat out, the surrounding area offers a wide range of eating and drinking establishments to satisfy any gourmet's or gourmond's tastes. What follows is a list of those places, indicating what cravings they can satisfy, how adequately they can do it, and for what price. Unfortunately, it cannot be a complete list due to space limitations and the sheer volume of places available. The list therefore consists of places that are easily accessible (within a 10 minute walking radius of the hotel), those that are very good and those that are seriously worth avoiding. A map follows the list to "tell you where to go". Good luck and Bon Appetit! . WESTIN HOTEL PROPER: DALY'S: Restaurant Level (3rd Floor) This is the hotel's main dining room and provides breakfast and lunch as well as a dinner menu. They serve a wide variety of foods at fairly reasonable prices. Liquor prices are comparable. HARTWELL'S: Lobby Level They call this place a "Seafood Bar". Both the food and the liquor are fairly expensive. It is also a High Class Meat Market. Warning: dress code enforced. No jeans, running shoes and/or sweatshirts. LES SAISONS: Restaurant Level (3rd Floor) Serves "Nouvelle Cuisine". In other words, speciality items. The food is very good, the service is good but the prices are exorbitant. If you're on a budget, forget it. Warning: dress code enforced. No jeans, running shoes and/or sweatshirts. Jacket required. THE RIDEAU CENTRE: The most accessible as it is part of the hotel complex. Wide range of fast food emporiums on the lower level. Those worth visiting are: BLOOM'S: Serve wide range of foods from pizza to salad. All fairly good. Reasonable prices. BAGUETTE: Serve fantastic danishes and croissants. ORANGE JULIUS: A Julius (a fruit drink) is worth experiencing. BAGEL, BAGEL: 92 Clarence Avenue, Open 24 hours. 236-8998. Yes, they specialize in bagels and anything that goes with them. Good food, good prices. Highly recommended. THE CREPERIE: 47 York Street. 232-8805 A fairly nice restaurant specializing in crepes. The food is fair to good. A bit pricey, though. DAPHNE & VICTOR'S CAFE: 47 William Street. 235-4254 Limited light menu mostly sandwiches and desserts. Food is fair to good but the carrot cake is great! Moderately expensive. THE EARL OF SUSSEX: 427 Sussex Avenue (at Murray). 233-5544 An English-style pub featuring both bottled and draft imported beers and ales. Food is also served but phone ahead because kitchen closes early (9:00 p.m.) some nights. The food is good and the liquor prices are comparable. |
