OT: Dinner/Parking by the ACC
- Thread starter TheCLAM
- Start date
If you are from Niagara, I'd consider just taking the GO Train in. Way less hassle trying to find parking downtown on a game night (cost would be around $25 to park anywhere within blocks of the ACC anyway).

Whats your price limit? Are you looking for like a sports bar type restaurant or more fancy / romantic?
Winterlicious is going on in Toronto right now. Discounts on fixed menus at restauraunts all over the city. I suggest you take a look and pic one:

My recommendations not far from the ACC:

The parking lot in my condo building is across the intersection from the ACC.
ACC is NW corner of Bay and Lake Shore, the parking structure is SE corner and they charge $20 on Leaf game nights.
Those fill up fast. I used to live across the street from ACC, and on game nights it was jammed very early. Get in quick!

There's a lot at yonge & queens quay (2 min walk granted) that's usually $15-20 on game nights and is pretty big. On the walk over to the acc you'll pass by a few joints- one being Harbor sixty if your into fancy steak houses
There is literally probably 50,000 parking spaces within a 10 min walk of the ACC. If you can't find parking you should probably not be driving because you would be blind.

Not from the area, thanks though.
You could be from the moon and find parking around the ACC. There are signs everywhere on every street.

The Air Canada Club Restaurant is very nice, really impressive wine list. Pricey though - just under $600 for two for my visit, including a bottle and apps.

I almost always park on Front under The Lone Star, it's $15 - $18. It's about a 10 minute walk to the ACC.
Usually eat at http://theoverdraught.ca/ but from that parking you have many options and can head up(North) to King where you'll find some nicer restaurants.

E11even is pretty good and it's right beside the ACC in the Maple Leaf Square

If you're doing the whole tourist thing why not take her to the CN tower 360 restaurant. Out of town girls love the 360 restaurant.

The food at 360 is god awful. Not worth it. Nice view and novelty, but if you are really into food quality be prepared to be disappointed.
I like E11even personally, and am going there tonight - my game day ritual for games is to go there for a few drinks and a pre-game meal. Nice food, good service, nice atmosphere. Good crowd closer to puck drop. Really good place to go after the game for a drink as well (pending the Leafs win).
I never said the food was good. I just said if you're doing the tourist thing you gotta go there (at least once in your life). And like I said, out of town girls love the 360.

The Winterlicious idea was right, but IMO he missed the best one for you (although getting a table is going to be a real trick at this point):

54th Floor, so you get the 360 style wows (well not quite, but it's still cool, especially for out-of-towners, no offense intended), but with great food instead of blargh (no other words to describe). No question I'd do this place over Ruth Chris, Benihana, or The Keg type places.
A prix fixe that'll still be a little stingy on your pocket, but not poor house time bad, and you're two blocks straight north of the ACC, looking down on it in fact.
Reservation is probably hard (can't hurt to call though), although if it's early enough on Sat., you might get lucky. In fact, I'm gonna see if I can sneak in before the 7th with that menu at that price, but I promise I'll avoid Saturday before the game, just in case.
edit: for parking, there'll be a spot near wherever you're going and just park there. It's supposed to be fun, there is no point sweating the extra 5-10 bucks trying to find the cheaper parking pad. If you go a lot, it matters to find the special spot that'll save you hundreds a year, but one-time only, you park where it's convenient, and I promise you won't have a hard time finding a lot or garage in the area.

Yes to all of this.
There is also a lot underground at 20 York, which is as close to ACC as you can get (entrance is in Maple Leafs Square). HUGE lot, however, leaving might take some time.

Nothing wrong with street meat for dinner!
Classy, inexpensive, quick...
The perfect meal. Just stay away from the krav kalash!
Royal Bank Plaza has the cheapest parking and best walking route to the ACC. $10 and you walk underground/indoors in the PATH and through Union Station right into ACC. It's at Bay and Wellington. Entrance is on Wellington just West of Bay on the south side.. it's a one way street.
Canyon Creek on Front Street is a short walk from the parking. They've got a decent three course Winterlicious menu on right now for $25 a head and the restaurant itself is great. Choice of starter, chicken/salmon/steak and desert.
