Why you'll love it
Honouring the culinary vision of Canada’s grand châteauesque hotels—linking burgeoning cities with remote wilderness resorts at the turn of the century—Library Bar’s Chef Brian Tang draws inspiration from beloved classic dishes that guests return for time and again.
Classic Dining, Reimagined.
Rich indulgences like AAA striploin Steak Frites served with Bordelaise, and the ever-favourite Bay Street Prime Rib Sandwich round out a menu that draws inspiration from Canada’s rich natural culinary heritage—expertly paired with a refined wine list and storied cocktails for a truly indulgent and memorable dining experience.
Drinks as Story
Storytelling has always been an act of hospitality. Since the earliest expressions of human generosity, food, drink, and stories have been the currency of connection, and at Library Bar, that belief is poured into every glass. Library Bar’s current menu is philosophy in action.
Library Bar’s latest menu, Opening Night, pays homage to the bar’s origins. Drawing on the history, people, and celebratory spirit of Library Bar, the team has transformed a charming tale into an illustrated storybook.
The Many Cocktails of Library Bar
At Library Bar, the cocktail program has always been an act of translation, converting cultural canon into liquid form, transforming beloved stories into exquisite drinks, and finding in every glass an opportunity to say something worth remembering.
A capital for connoisseurs who appreciate their classics stirred to perfection and daring elixirs that transcend beyond tradition, the program spans more than 50 years of craft and curiosity.
