This Garden Dome Pop-Up in Toronto is Instagram Everything

An outdoor dinner in the middle of winter in Toronto? Well, sort of. This season, locals and visitors are raving about Dinner With A View, an amazing and luxurious Toronto dining experience (and a FOMO-inducing share on social media). It takes place in an outdoor setting – Toronto’s incredible Bentway – but you’ll be warm and cozy in a heated, transparent dome.

The Setting

The Bentway is Toronto’s new dynamic public space. Located at 250 Fort York Blvd, it offers a year-round program of events and activities in the city’s vibrant downtown. It’s an amazing piece of urban transformation, turning 1km underneath Toronto's Gardiner Expressway into a new gathering place for the city's growing population. Your Dinner With A View adventure begins when you are ushered into this unique outdoor space. Each dome has been turned into a whimsical terrarium with distinct terrains. In a word, it’s magical.

The Food

A magical setting deserves a magical menu. And that’s exactly what you get during your Dinner With A View experience. Award-winning chef René Rodriguez’ menu blends his Mexican heritage with an exploration of French and Italian cuisine. As a result, his Toronto menu is the embodiment of regional diversity, with locally sourced ingredients. Rodriguez designed and prepares a delicious 3-course blind menu during each event, including meat, fish and vegan options.

How To Get In On The Fun

It’s easy. Go here. Then, book your Dome ($149/Dome) and then purchase dinner ($99/Guest). Please note: Each booking requires a minimum of four guests. Domes can accommodate a maximum of six guests.
