TORONTO RESTAURANTS:
In the really special area - try Da Dante (contemporary Italian, reasonable prices) or  Auberge du Pommier (French traditional, expensive).   For game, ethnic or indigenous - you should visit the Queen Street area in downtown Toronto (particularly Queen St West)
- a wide variety of interesting shops and restaurants to choose from in this general area.

Toronto was great.  I did not get out as much as I would have liked but it was enough to make my business trip enjoyable.  The highlight was the Mohgul Restaurant.  Excellent Indian food and reasonable prices.  I believe it was on Elm very close to Yonge.  It was right across the street from the Delta Chelsea.  In fact I had dinner there twice. We also went to the Marche Movenpick.  Eh, it was ok and it was a novelty but I liked the Movenpick in the Financial district better (it was either on Bay or University but I think University - we were there last year).  The Marche is very noisy and you do not have a buffet option.  Every station has preset food portions and prices.

Thanks again for the Toronto Eats info.

Bob.
