The Canteen is our favourite place to eat out if we are having a date. The food is fresh and delicious and the chef was a competitor on Canada`s Top Chef in 2019!
Tip: You'll need a reservation if you want to go to the Canteen. They also have a take out place next to it called Little C with lots of fresh food as well.
