The lunch spot on the eighth floor of the Bay, adjacent to the Eaton Centre, is like an affordable version of Canoe. The awesome view of both old and new city halls is the primary draw, as is the menu of carefully prepared casual fare. Office workers in a hurry can grab a sandwich and salad, but the kitchen has a few surprises up its sleeve: grilled al dente asparagus with creamy, housemade lemon-infused ricotta and roasted tomato vinaigrette may be the finest asparagus dish in the city. The pulled chicken poutine app, with Ontario cheese curds, country gravy and crispy chicken skin, is also marvellous. The locally raised, grass-fed beef burger, with aged cheddar, double-smoked bacon, red onion and basil-roasted garlic mayo on an egg bun, is really good. However, grilled Ontario lake trout deserves a better fate than being overcooked and bathed in a cloying sweet pepper relish. Mains $15–$23.
