To Dine for - 2

once in a while i would like to feel like a rich woman who doesn’t need to work and all you do is shop shop shop. the street to shop for upscale clothes, shoes, handbags, and jewellry in toronto is bloor. rich women are human beings and they need to eat too. a good restaurant to chill during an upscale shopping day is the Holt’s Café.

as indicated by its name, the Holt’s Café is located on the 2nd (or 3rd?) floor of Holt Renfrew. The decoration of the café corresponds with the rest of the newly renovated department store—bright, trendy, and chic. if their decoration doesn’t impress you, there’s always the shopping that might be of your interest. yes, your eyes can never stay at ease at this place because there is shopping even beside your table!

what about the food? this place serves light meals which is perfect for us ladies who are diet cautious. during my last visit (again a while ago) i had a chilled orange avocado soup and a sandwich with raw tuna. i also got to try a little bit of my mom’s avocado shrimp sandwich. the soup was very refreshing, and the sandwiches—i can’t say they are very tasty but worth a try. the way they present the sandwiches is quite unique.

finally it comes to the bill. all I can say is, people, you are lunching on bloor street at the most classy department store in town, therefore you have to spare some extra bills for the bill. afterall, you should treat yourself nice once in a while!
