“We had the most amazing experience with Tina! We came from Niagara Falls Ontario for a hockey tournament with 25 hungry 16 year old boys and she took care of everything!! She was prompt, going out of her way to deliver to our hotel, organized and thought of everything! Not to mention brought the most amazing food for the entire team! I would highly, highly recommend Tina and Wedel Touch of Europe to anyone!“

“Had dinner with a friend a couple of days ago and had an overall good experience but there was room for improvement. I ordered the coquilles st jacques. While the scallops were cooked well the purée lacked flavour.. missing that hit of cheese. I had to use some lemon to liven the dish a bit. My friend had the streak frites, medium rare that came rare. We had the kitchen bring to temp. I had a bite and it was tender and flavourful. I will return to try more from the menu and see how it goes. A great place either way for atmosphere and drinks.“

“GET THE WINDOW SEATS FOR THE SUNSET VIEW!
The view along was worth the $.

We got all small plates and some of the most popular mains. Everything is cooked perfectly. They did not overlook the supporting roles - the green beans in the steak, the croquet cubes in the salad, the pickled apple on top of the scallops… were all very tasty.“
