EPIC Description

Epic takes a reputation for innovation and quality and infuses it with premium quality regional elements. Epic's fluid, contemporary design is an effective backdrop for a menu that features the best of Ontario's growers. Seasonally, hand-nurtured herbs from the rooftop garden, 15 stories above Front Street brighten each dish. Desserts are flavoured with hand-harvested roof top honey. And as a certified Ocean Wise restaurant, Epic's fish and shellfish choices contribute to sustainable oceans for generations to come. Complimenting each course, a wine list that has received the VQA Award of Excellence for the past two years provides renowned Ontario and international wines. Under the direction of Restaurant Chef Ryan Gustafson the Epic culinary and service team welcomes diners to this new interpretation of a Toronto classic. Ever innovative, Chef Ryan Gustafson is at the forefront of the sustainable food movement. Dedicated to avoiding all endangered species, he is making a positive environmental impact in the industry that captivated him as a child.

EPIC Reviews

I went to Epic with my wife, and we were both extremely impressed with the meal, and the attention to detail, in presentation, and service. Very high end place, and my wife is very very picky, and she loved, need I say any more.
