The dim sum was rich tasting and nothing was greasy, and the service pretty friendly and efficient. The atmosphere of British opulence (including waitresses deliveirng dim sum in polytester black and white maidlike outfits) in a Victorian setting but with rich high endish Chinese food that included a pretty teapot instead of the generic white kind from the restaurant supply depot gave it a bit of high end, Hong Kong feel. Casa Imperial is different from the many dim sum choices in this area in that it is actually inside a historic estate. We passed strip mall after strip mall in the Markham area (where our hotel was and we executed multiple U-turns trying to find it and dinner the night before) with all the various signage in a mix of languages.

We didn’t eat during our Christmas Market visit though because we had earlier enjoyed dim sum at Casa Imperial, and that kept us quite full despite the many offerings that tempted us at the market.Ĭasa Imperial is in the northern suburb like area of Toronto, where it seems a large population of Asian immigrants ended up settling. Despite the enticing list of beer so we tried a lemon tea ale, a raspberry beer, their cobblestone porter, a coffee porter, and a vanilla porter, the flavor profiles just were not as strong as we have become accustomed to in our microbrew capital city hometown. We had a few beers at the Mill St Brewery– which made us appreciate how great the beer available in Portland is. This meant when it got cold for us, we could quickly pop into a gallery or browse a retail boutique to try to warm up. It looked like a mix of old world with the outdoor wooden stalls for the various vendors, and pedestrian-only traffic only as we navigated the cobblestone paths within the complex, but mixed in with new world since it was in a district that really reminded me of the Pearl in Portland with its various art galleries and rehab of a factory space. We also got to admire, though not visit (… exactly like my sister’s visit) the CN Tower doing its light show thing at night.Īnd, the next day, we returned to the downtownish area to visit the Christmas Market in the Distillery Historic District based on nothing but a concept drawing advertisement in a hotel magazine. It meant driving around in circles trying to find non-price gouging parking, and entering a super packed place where it was a 2 hour wait for tables, but we were rewarded by watching the Ducks victory on a 2 story HD screen- definitely a big TV, and we were lucky to snag bar stools at least.

This particular misadventure was unplanned since we were going for the Ducks vs Beavers game, and this was one place my sister, who had been to Toronto just a month before, had recommended and we were able to call to confirm we could watch the game here on a big TV. It started with a visit to Real Sports Bar and Grill right before a Maple Leaf Game (they play in the stadium across the street). However, we did get in a few Toronto experiences. It’s cold… and then the wind blows… and you realize how cold it *really* can be. It turns out they have a similar experience with lake effect wind as Chicago does. In fact, most of Toronto wasn’t going to be on the list. It was my first time in Toronto, but because the trip was occuring in December and my co-worker forgot to pack her coat, apparently one of the best things to do (walk around inside the city) wasn’t something that was going to be on the list this time. I recently just returned from a whirlwind work trip that took me through Toronto, Philadelphia area PA, Austin TX, and Santa Clara and Sacramento in CA in one week.
