Dining Out - by James A Thompson (Paperback)

Highlights

• Exploring Toronto's history through its vibrant restaurant scene.From taverns to tea rooms, from soda fountains to sushi bars, and everything in between, Toronto's dining trends in days gone by say a lot about the history of this city.Beginning from the early days in the Town of York, where eateries had to serve also as houses of worship, to today's trendy restaurants created by newcomers and outside influences, Dining Out: Toronto's Lost Restaurants vividly describes many of the fine restaurants we never knew existed and which had a profound impact on the city and the people who called it home.Dining Out: Toronto's Lost Restaurants shows readers that, although the locales where we eat out have changed through the years, the quest for good food and good company continues to define this city.
