The Drake Hotel Toronto

Drake knows good Food + Wine. Our free-spirited menu includes lovingly concocted international cuisine and reinterpreted classics. Executive Chef Anthony Rose + Chef de Cuisine Darren Glew present unique menus culled from their combined talents. Back from eight years in the food meccas of New York and San Francisco, Anthony brings his passion for classic, simple and ingredient-driven food.

"The vibe is knowingly casual, but a smooth professionalism underpins service. Chef Anthony Rose’s seasonal cooking is marked by rich textures and powerful flavours." - James Chatto, Toronto Life

Drake invites you to an evening of elegance, decadence and tranquility amongst the buzz. When you step into the Drake Dining Room, you’ll feel as if you’ve arrived at a special moment in time.

Enjoy our delicious meals, hors d'oeuvres and treats, all artfully crafted from organic, local and seasonal ingredients and inspired by the innovative minds of world-class chef Anthony Rose and his talented team. Let our wine experts match those edible artworks with the perfect pairing or enjoy Drake’s signature cocktails prepared with the freshest ingredients.

The Drake Underground is one of the most flexible and unique venues in Toronto. The space has welcomed performances by major darlings of the indie music scene and has hosted some of the city's most memorable performances, cocktail parties, launches and fashion shows.

Drake's entertainment space has been designed with one thing in mind: creative flexibility. This spacious venue features a modular stage, digital projectors, screens, dynamic lighting, personal computers and a state-of-the-art 5.1 Surround Sound PA system manned by experienced technical staff.

The Underground is for a crowd ahead of the curve. Over the last 6 years, this cutting-edge venue has been star-struck by legends like Beck and Carole Pope, while regularly busy with monthly parties, instituting the careers of Skratch Bastid and Thunderheist, among others. Known as a city hotspot, the Underground has hosted MIA and Grizzly Bear at the rise of their careers, rubbed shoulders with local rock royalty Broken Social Scene, Metric and Holy Fuck and keeps music lovers on their toes with special guests including Nosaj Thing, Asobi Seksu and Prince Paul of De La Soul.
