PAST EVENTS:
March 10 to 16, 2008
The Drake Hotel (1150 Queen St. West) and The Bier Markt (58 The Esplanade)
In anticipation of the upcoming non-stop Icelandair service on May 2nd, 2008, the popular food and music event, "A Taste of Iceland" will be coming to Toronto soon. Chef Hákon Örvarsson will be supervising tasting menus at both The Drake Hotel (1150 Queen St. West) and The Bier Markt (58 The Esplanade).
Hákon is well known for winning the Bocuse d'Or Bronze award in 2001 and from his former Reykjavik restaurant, Vox, a popular hot-spot for local and international gastronomes.
In addition to Hákon's food on the tasting menus at both venues, there will be a number of musical guests from Iceland at The Bier Markt and The Drake, including Magni, very well known here in North America from his finalist appearance on the Rock Star Supernova TV show.
"A Taste of Iceland" will be launched at the Bier Markt on the Esplanade on Monday, March 10th, and will feature the musical genius of Magni and his band Á Moti Sól.
More details will be available shortly at http://www.icelandnaturally.com/ and in NOW Magazine.
