Canoe
- In 2009, Canoe was named the number one restaurant in Toronto by Toronto Life, which noted, "The view from the 54th floor and the room's suave, modern ambiance impress both the suits that congregate here for lunch and the evening clientele of couples and gastronomes." This upscale restaurant is open for lunch and dinner Monday through Friday, and on the weekends it's open for private events only. Reservations are required, and dinner guests can park for no charge after 5:30 p.m. in the underground garage.
