Guest Post: Cantine Bistro and Winterlicious by Nequesha Mohamed

TransitHub is excited to have Nequesha Mohamed (from CB2 and "What's your hub" posts) back - this time, with a post on Winterlicious. What was her impression of the dinner? Read on to find out:


Winterlicious 2012 was a 2 week extravaganza of restaurants showing off what they had to offer, for much lower prices than usual. I was determined to go to a restaurant that I would remember positively this year, so I did my research. After scanning a bunch of menus, I settled on Cantine Bar and Grill to go with my friends. The menu had a lot of choice, and the dishes were sufficiently varied to appeal to many taste buds. And all for the affordable price of $25 for dinner.

The location wasn’t too hard to find. Get off at Bay station (#BayBloor), and walk to Avenue and Davenport, only about 10 minutes. When you get there, you can see right away that it looks warm and inviting.

2012 is an exciting year for art on the TTC, with over a dozen projects planned. We began the year with a special co-presentation with the NFB, which runs through the end of February.  This twofold art installation features a site-specific version HIGHRISE/One Millionth Tower, created especially for the TTC.
