Nestled in the Riverside neighbourhood is one of Toronto’s favourite fine dining restaurants, Ruby Watchco. The executive chef is none other than the wildly creative, world-renowned Lynn Crawford who produces a four-course prix fixe menu that changes daily, including the wine list, depending on the availability of quality ingredients, and accommodates dietary restrictions, be they physiological or voluntary. Ruby Watchco describes its food as “market inspired comfort food” with many of the ingredients coming in from local farms and vendors. The dining room, designed by Cherie Stinson, is chic yet comfortable as it manages to fuse rustic and industrial design elements creating a warm ambience that the friendly and knowledgeable staff turns into an environment.
