Major Tom
The best new restaurant in Canada.
Every monumental shift, changing of the guard, new era, and time of renewal calls for a celebration. It’s time to enter society again, to cut loose, to try on some rose-coloured glasses – even if it’s just for one evening – and to see and be seen.
Enter Major Tom, Concorde Entertainment Group’s latest concept. It will greet you 40 floors above it all, where the views, the service, the food, the drinks will imbue a sense of optimism, lift your spirits, and make you social again. Major Tom’s goal is to make you feel like you’re on top of the world. The mid-century-inspired decor by Frank architecture is curated and comfortable, the playlist is cool and uplifting, and the vibe is energetic. It’s an elevated experience without the pretension.
NTNL 8TH
Fine food, beer & spirits
National on 8th is perfectly located in the heart of downtown. Situated in Stephen Avenue Place, National on 8th boasts western Canada’s largest rooftop patio! Soak up the sun while playing a round of cornhole or ping pong. The +30 interior space features smaller seating arrangements, and a private room, to accommodate business lunches and intimate gatherings.
Goro + Gun
Japanese Noodle Bar
In the kitchen, six stock pots simmer with delicious broths. Tuck into a steaming bowl of Hakata-style ramen, made even better with a smoked egg. Or depart from noodle fare with house specialties like the tuna poke or spicy satay prawns. Vegetarian and gluten free options abound, and the gyoza, sauces, and pastes are made in-house with fresh ingredients. Whenever possible, dishes are prepared using wild fish instead of farmed. Complete your meal with one of 30 sakes from Goro + Gun’s curated selection. Chef Tomo Mitsuno previously spent 7 years working at a Michelin starred restaurant in Osaka, and belongs to an elite tier of the culinary world, certified in the safe preparation of deadly blowfish (fugu).
