Hubby & I were out shopping on Christmas Eve for some last minute gifts and groceries. We were…read moreclose to downtown Markham and the idea of Draco came up. Initially we were going for the idea of breakfast, but timing was a bit off from what we anticipated and it was a really nice lunch date instead. I love the Markham Marriott, the staff is always warm and welcoming. Draco has a very sleek, sophisticated and cozy atmosphere. We both ordered Bacon & Cheddar burgers. I opted for a Caesar salad as an appetizer and hubby ordered their Grilled Wagyu Flat Iron Steak. Let's start with the apps. The Caesar salad was SO good! I wish I had taken a pic, but admittedly, my phone was tucked away and I was caught up in the cozy seating, great food and Christmas vibes of the restaurant and lobby. Grilled Wagyu Flat Iron Steak: $33 - Buttercup Squash Puree and Truffle Oil - Everything you want Wagyu to be - tender, cooked to the perfect temp which left a nice warm red centre. This was melt in your mouth good! The burgers - these were perfection! Draco Bacon Cheddar Burger: $25 - Aged Cheddar with Crispy Bacon Strips; Crispy Onion Straws, Arugula and Garlic Aioli. This was a very well seasoned patty, so juicy and a substantial sized patty of fresh not frozen beef. The bun was lightly toasted, bacon crispy, easily taking this into my top 3 fav spots for burgers! Options for sides include fries, sweet potato fries, poutine, side Caesar or garden salad or truffle fries. We finished off our meal with 2 really good cappuccinos and just took our time before heading home. This was our first time back here in a few years. The food was exceptional as was the service and the warm staff. Draco is the perfect spot for an early morning breakfast, work or lunch date or a nice cozy dinner. They also have Christmas & New Years dinners and brunches. Relax in the restaurant with drinks or in the adjacent lounge, this is a great spot to unwind with some great food and drinks.

The one thing I didn't realize is that their menu changed compared to what I saw online a few months before. I didn't like how there weren't many choices for mains especially when it comes to pasta. Both of us just ended up getting a Wagyu burger with fries because nothing else seemed appealing. For appetizer we ordered adobo fried chicken wings. I personally found the wings to be overly salted. They offered me a free dessert for my birthday which I didn't expect, it was very nice of them. I would recommend this place for celebrations.

We have been meaning to check out this restaurant for a while and recently did so for a…read morecelebration. We made reservations ahead of time but it wasn't necessary as we were the only one of two tables when we arrived. We were promptly seated and service was excellent throughout the night. We started with the artichoke salad and the chef pate. This was followed by almond sole and the orange duck. Each dish was meticulously prepared ( I've never had my carrots bundled so neatly before). I really liked both mains. The atmosphere is a bit dated, but still nicely maintained, clean and tidy.

I first came during Summerlicious 2024 and they weren't serving their regular menu, so I HAD to…read morereturn to experience their tried & true dishes. We've dined indoors and in their outdoor covered patio - overall a romantic traditional space and I particularly liked that the patio was secluded with greenery, white glass framed windows, and had the sounds of the trickling small water fountain. We ordered some appies: -Escargot Tartan (interesting to try, texture and taste similar to a denser mushroom) -Stracciatella & Caviar (rich and creamy balanced with the salty bursts of caviar) -Pain au lait (the brioche was nice and fluffy) Mains: -Nova Scotia lobster linguine bisque (initially didn't look like there were a lot of lobster meat, but in between the pasta were some generous chunks) -Ribeye (I thought the potato tart component stood out with the textures!!) Then dessert: -Seasonal mille feuille (great, no notes) Overall - I felt like I was transported to a French upscale inn and would love to come back. Next time, we were recommended their foie gras, scallops & frog legs, and Sole Meunière (fish dish meant for 2 people where the server carves it in front of you - I did notice the fish appeared pretty small. Maybe an option if you wanted a lighter main)

That farmhouse setting is still what gives Auberge its charm. Standing at the entrance, the busy…read moreroads and office towers seem to disappear, replaced by a calm, almost country-like atmosphere. The dining room feels cozy yet elegant, and while the tables are a little closer together than expected for such a refined space, it somehow adds warmth rather than distraction. Comfort arrives immediately with the amuse-bouche - gougères filled with molten cheese and topped with a touch of ham. They're incredibly satisfying, yet surprisingly light despite the rich filling. If that's not enough indulgence, order the pain au lait ($16). Served piping hot, the soft buttery bread releases an intoxicating aroma that becomes even better slathered with cultured butter. It's the kind of bread that makes you accidentally eat far more than intended. After such a rich start, I expected the boeuf consommé ($30) to continue in the same comforting direction. Instead, the broth carried an unexpected acidity, perhaps from the smoked celeriac, that gave it a lighter feel. Alongside the raw squash and generous barley, the soup ended up feeling fresher than cozy. Thankfully, the short rib and caramelized onion raviolo was excellent: plump, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavour. The rib eye in the boeuf ($90) was the standout of the evening. Cooked to a beautiful medium rare, it was tender while still maintaining a lovely crust. Interestingly, the steak was cut thick and compact, almost resembling a tenderloin, yet still delivered the marbled richness that makes rib eye so satisfying. Every accompaniment worked well with it, from the sourdough crumble and pomme espuma to the pickled shallot gel, crunchy broccolini, and silky red wine jus. It's one of the better mains I've had at Auberge in years. At this point, I was stuffed (we may have had a second helping of pain au lait) so I sampled desserts from the rest of the table. The macarons ($25) are ideal for sharing, with six per order. The caramel flavour was denser than expected, though my fellow diners assured me the pistachio version was far superior. Auberge's cheese plate ($14 per oz) remains a popular option. Diners can choose from a selection of hard, soft, and blue cheeses, priced by weight. My husband selected a Beemster-style cheese that paired beautifully with honey, berry compote, and crostini. Simple, but very satisfying. Surprisingly, the restaurant was fairly quiet on our Friday night visit aside from a birthday celebration happening in the private dining room. The calmer atmosphere likely helped service shine. Something about Auberge feels more relaxed now. The dining room is brighter, tables are grouped closer together in the centre, and the overall vibe feels livelier and less stuffy than before. Our waiter joked comfortably with guests while still delivering polished service. At one point, a server even cut garlic bread into bite-sized pieces for a child at a neighbouring table without being asked. Small gestures like that say a lot.

Their meat dumplings (Plemeny)in mushroom sauce is delicious.Tibetan Mo mo used to be my favorite dumplings but now is Russian Plemeny dumplings. For our mains, we got the grilled salmon skewer and Beef Stroganoff to share for the 3 of us us since our appetizers,perogies, borsh soup and meatdumplingsitems were more substantial (not light dishes)so we didn't need individual maiins.

It was our first time coming to the restaurant, as well as the golf club in general. We had a…read morereservation for 530pm but we arrived early. The host was able to accommodate us and brought us to the table immediately. The space of the restaurant wasn't as big as I imagined, with only 12 tables - 4 seaters. However, they had combined a few tables to transform to long tables in order to accommodate 2 big parties. Perhaps it was the holiday season, we weren't given any water or acknowledgments 30 minutes after we were seated. Given that we had ample time to study the menu, we knew what we wanted for the night - their winter set menus. Initially, the reason for the visit was that we won their contest on Instagram for dinner of 2 on their set menu B, however, we asked if we could upgrade to the menu C and pay the difference, which, they were able to accommodate our request. Their set menu each comes with a choice of appetizer, a main course, a dessert, a non-alcoholic beverage, AND coffee/ tea. The pan seared atlantic salmon was definitely a winner! Crispy on the skin, and the salmon was cooked perfectly with it being juicy and tender and very silky-smooth. The striploin was cooked just the way we asked - medium rare. The red velvet cake was a nice touch to finish off our evening, but the cream cheese frosting was a little bit sweet to our liking. Other than that, the cake itself was soft and moist. The price of the set menu is tax and tips included, which is very budget friendly with the amount and level of food you get.

Staff were always friendly and greeted you with a smile or thanked you for being a gold member. Their toaster was very slow and took a long time. That being said, their coffee was good, self serve juices were fine (grapefruit, orange, apple), tea was good, and the fruit infused water was a nice touch. Breakfast buffet consisted of fresh fruit (watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe, pineapple), boiled egg, tomato, cucumber, salad greens, olive oil, various deli meats & cheeses, pastries (danish, cinnamon roll, croissants), bagels and bread, oatmeal, and dry cereal daily. They would have different types of sausage, pancakes, eggs, potato tots, potato hash, bacon, Canadian bacon, herbed tomatoes, or tomato with cheese, so you had different hot food items each day. Seating was comfortable and tables were seated with good distance from one another and was not crowded. Dining area was clean and comfortable.

Load up on veggies to balance out all the meat you will be eating. Skip the carbs where possible here to save your stomach. Try some of the meats here in the form of a stew. It's pretty good. [Mid] Picanha - Maybe I got a bad slice but it was a bit tough. Pork Sausage, Spicy Chicken, Shrimp - Pretty standard. Skippable if you want to focus on eating for value. Tri Tip - Was alright, close to good. [Worth it?] Felt kinda pricey but it's essentially unlimited steak so I guess it's worth it. Definitely celebration level dinner only. They suspiciously add cheese to random things including embedding it within a steak! I skipped the cheese stuffed steak and the Parmesan steak as I didn't want to feel full too fast. Overall the food was really good and nothing really to complain about. Service was friendly and interior was nice with really high ceilings.

Touro is a Brazilian Steakhouse where the waiters walk around with a selection of meats (and…read moresometimes shrimp) for you to select from. It's all you can eat. There are 2 locations north of Toronto, north essentially the same. It a large open space with tables far enough apart that you don't feel like you're sitting right next to strangers. There are a few appetizers like the cheese bread and some grilled vegetables. These are bland and have no real flavour. Their corn bread, however, is fantastic. The meat variety is good. Of course, they have picanha (a Brazilian cut of meat), Parmesan sirloin steak, sausage, chicken, grilled pineapple, shrimp, and others. They have beans and rice too. The staff walk around constantly and offer food. They're friendly and are happy to give you an extra piece of meat if that's the one you really like. These reason for 4 stars is that its nearly impossible to get meat that's prepared medium or well done. Not all my family likes rare/medium rare, and while it's possible to request well done, it takes 15-20 minutes to get 2 little pieces of meat by which time you're ready for more and have to wait another 15-20 minutes. This, while all the others are busily eating.
