Come here to experience the rare dining pleasure of having your waiter respond to every nod of your head. It’s uncommon to find this kind of attentive – almost telepathic – service at an everyday restaurant. Enjoy the gorgeous decor and a glass of wine while you ponder the intriguing Tunisian and French menu.

Canadians love to vacation in Cuba, but if you don’t feel like packing a suitcase, then Havana on The Drive is the next best thing. The owners have decorated in the shabby chic style of the Cuban capital. Skip the mojito cocktail and order a glass of wine instead – it’s how Cubans break the rules.

Sure, you can find your favourite wine at the liquor store and enjoy it at home, but then you’d be missing out on the awesome retro decor and laid-back atmosphere at The Cannibal. The cool checkered floor, vinyl booths and punk rock concert posters give it a fun, retro vibe. If you’ve never had poutine with a glass of wine, come see what you’ve been missing.

While best known for an amazing beer selection, BierCraft has quietly assembled an outstanding wine list, too. They offer almost two dozen reds and whites and one California rosé.
