Toronto’s Elmwood Spa allows you to dine in a robe. Whether
you’re in need of alone time, a romantic meal, celebrating a bachelorette party
or Mother’s Day: it’s amazing to eat in a fluffy robe and flip flops. A great treat
for yourself or a present for someone.
While visiting the day spa, customers can add on a
three-course lunch at the airy Terrace Restaurant ($33). They have a nice menu
selection where, thankfully, not everything is vegetarian, gluten free or healthy.
After all, I’m here to pamper myself and my stomach.
The “Greek style” salad was composed with cucumbers, grape tomatoes,
celery, creamy feta, and olives wrapped in a cucumber ribbon - both beautiful
to look at and eat. It was fresh, well-flavoured with dried olives? on the side,
and topped with plenty of cheese.
While the steak arrives over the requested medium rare
doneness, it was nonetheless juicy and tender. The hearty plate also had hot
roasted potatoes, asparagus, crispy shallots and extra jus for dipping.
Admittedly, perhaps I didn’t require such heavy main before donning a bikini to
relax in the baths.
I felt I counteracted the steak with a healthier dessert of fruit
with lavender infused whipped cream. The lavender was subtle and the thick
cream great for dipping berries into.
But, my friend’s s’more fondue made me jealous: both trying
to remind myself of the upcoming bikini and kicking myself for eating fruit for
dessert. The house made toasted marshmallow was fluffy and satisfying and once
drenched with warm liquid chocolate almost swoon-worthy.
What I enjoyed most was eating the meal in the
tranquil environment, over glasses of sparkling wine and with great friends. Oh
yeah, and doing it all in a robe was pretty sweet as well.
