Guests can enjoy delicious food and sip on yummy cocktails while enjoying live piano performances starring a lineup of Canadian talent.

The prix fixe menu has savoury selections such as eggplant “parm”, drake bolognese or steak frites.

Starters include a lineup of fresh salads while dessert is a crowd-pleaser – a hot fudge sundae.

Chef Taylor McMeekin is The Drake Hotel’s new Executive Chef, the brains behind the new menu.

“There’s a need for comfort food and I think we really captured that with this new menu,” Chef Taylor shared with Curiocity.

Some of the mouth-watering eats guests can enjoy on the new menu include oysters Rockefeller, steak frites, lobster spaghetti, and Chef Taylor’s favourite, The Drake Burger with Colby cheese, caramelized onions and peppercorn aioli on a toasted brioche bun.

“We put a lot of effort into changing this burger,” said Chef Taylor. “It’s been a part of the Drake’s history so it was quite the undertaking to ensure that we were going to put up something that was not only as good as it was, but better than it was.”

The funky lounge and cozy dining area also served as an inspiration for the food and drinks on the menu, Chef Taylor explained. “The plate in front of you has to match everything that’s around you, what’s on the walls, the vibes.”

Thirsty? The Drake knows cocktails and has something for everyone. The Drake Martini is a classic and comes with a choice of Beefeater gin or Absolut vodka. Dirty, dry or wet.

If you’re feeling the holiday spirit, the Apple Pie Margarita is as festive as it is delicious. Another popular choice is the Bubblegum Cosmo with bubblegum, lime, orange, and Absolut Citron vodka.

A fabulous evening at The Drake Hotel is in your future, Toronto.
