Try their Toasted Pearl Couscous Risotto as a starter and the Herb Roasted Quebec Duroc Pork Chop for your main. Finally, enjoy a guilt-free dessert with a Flourless Chocolate Quinoa Cake.
Cheers Mate! – Searching for a pint and pub food? Royal Oak Pub (221 Echo Drive) features a traditional pub menu with craft draught from Beyond the Pale Brewing Co. For those who want to pretend they’ve taken a trip across the pond, try a Homemade Shepherd’s Pie or Bangers and Mash. For a simpler choice, grab a hand-crafted burger on a brioche bun and enjoy the evening with open mic and board game nights.
Fishy Friday – When sea hunger strikes, head to The Whalesbone (430 Bank St.) for a night of seafood and socializing. All menu items are Ocean Wise Certified. This is the place to be for a lively atmosphere with colleagues or old University classmates. Head over for lunchtime Lobster Roll or Scallop Ceviche for dinner.
