Toronto’s Grand Dame The Fairmont Royal York pays tribute to raw, vegan and macrobiotic mothers with its annual Mother’s Day Brunch at EPIC Restaurant, located on the lobby level of The Fairmont Royal York.
Lifestyle eatings and seatings are on Sunday, May 13, 2012 at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
In addition, if moms are looking to be pampered with a night away from home on either Saturday, May 12th or Sunday May 13th, EPIC offers a Mother’s Stay Rate of $129 at The Fairmont Royal York hotel (subject to availability in 2012 and exclusive of taxes).
This year, Chef Tim Palmer’s Mothers Day Brunch in EPIC comes on the heels of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts recently announced Lifestyle Cuisine Plus, a new menu available upon request catering to guests with specific diet-dependent conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and gluten free, as well as unique dietary preferences including, macrobiotic, raw and vegan diets.
Moms with specific dietary requests often have to forfeit flavor and choice for their health, but not at EPIC Restaurant this Mother’s Day.
EPIC servers will treat mom royally as EPIC’s culinary brigade continues to support the hotel’s commitment to using organically grown and locally sourced products wherever possible.
Highlights on the menu include roasted Lake Huron whitefish, pork, naturally raised turkey and veal loin from Ontario.
Some of the more decadent raw items include East Coast Oysters and a build your own salad bar.
Over ten dessert options are to be found inside EPIC’s dessert showcase room. Several, using the richest of ingredients and the real cream goodness of dairy, sit side by side with sliced fresh fruit, berries and a variety of tasty wellness elixirs of honey, ginger and carrot.
A selection of Fairmont wellness teas by the Metropolitan Tea Company serve to round out the culinary desires, featuring: Energy, Tranquility, Digestif, Equilibrium and High Antioxidant — as unique as every Mother can be.
EPIC’s Mother’s Day Brunch is $79 per person, $39 for children ages 5-12 and children under 5 eat free.
