What's on the menu at the Rooftop at the Broadview Hotel, the summer's top east-end hangout

The Broadview Hotel is a looker, inside and out, and the revitalized Streetcar Developments property at Queen and Broadview also offers a stunning panorama of the Toronto skyline from its top-floor bar and restaurant, the Rooftop.

The food

While the hotel’s street-level Civic restaurant is still in the works, the Rooftop has its own kitchen run by chef Ryan Michailoff (Cadillac Jenkins, Table 17), with a menu created by east-end restaurateurs Erik Joyal and executive chef John Sinopoli (Gare de L’Est, Ascari Enoteca, Hi-Lo Bar, Table 17).

The space

Designed by DesignAgency, the Rooftop has seating for 140 people. One of the building’s towers has been converted into a private dining space with an additional 20 seats.

A glass wall behind the bar opens to the L-shaped patio, giving guests access to the bar without needing to reenter the glass-enclosed space.
