The Marquis Lounge Bistro Hilton Garden Inn Toronto

During my stay at the hotel in January, the -30°C wind chill made it too harsh to venture out for dinner elsewhere. My colleague and I decided to check out the empty bar and restaurant, where we were warmly welcomed by a friendly bartender. The atmosphere could have been quite dreary without his cheerful demeanor, as it seemed that not many guests dine here. The menu is somewhat limited, which allows them to focus on doing a few dishes exceptionally well. I ordered the French onion soup and fish and chips, and both were fantastic. Just a heads up: the portions are substantial, which justifies the higher prices, so keep in mind that two people could easily share most of the meals.

The restaurant is conveniently situated inside the Hilton, which was perfect for me that night since I didn't want to go out. It was a nice and quiet atmosphere, and the service was excellent. I ordered the Honey Lime salmon without the sauce, just grilled, and it was very tasty. I would definitely recommend it.

Marquis Lounge Bistro is a stylish dining spot that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. During our stay at the Hilton for the Apple Expo conference, we enjoyed breakfast there every morning. When we booked our room, we opted to add breakfast for an additional $14 per person per day (normally $16.95). The breakfast is laid out buffet-style, featuring fresh fruit, a wide range of baked goods, juices, yogurt, oatmeal, and make-your-own waffles, among other options. Coffee and tea are served directly to your table, and there's even a coffee and tea station so you can prepare your own beverages to-go once you've finished your meal—what a great option! For hot food items like eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, pancakes, and French toast, you order at the counter and are given a number to place on your table. Your food is delivered promptly, which is another fantastic service! Overall, it’s a well-designed breakfast experience.
