May 4, 2016 – Each spring as the clocks spring forward and the
last of the snow is washed away; Toronto residents and visitors eagerly await
the arrival of patio season. Shangri-La Hotel, Toronto is celebrating the
change of the season with the launch of bosk patio on 5 May 2016. Daily, as the
clock strikes 2:00 p.m., guests will be able to enjoy shareable dishes and
elegant cocktails in a stylish outdoor environment
Design and Ambiance
Created and produced by the renowned local Design Agency, “the bosk
patio is designed as a layered garden using a natural palette of material and
soft tones to create an earthy feel accented by red Japanese maples and fire
pits to give the patio a sense of luxury and warmth” said Matt Davis, principal
at the Design Agency. Adding to the ambiance, décor items feature unique furniture
selected from the luxury Spanish and Belgium lines Andreu World and Tribu.
Bosk Patio Menu
The menu is specially designed by executive chef Damon Campbell to
reflect the spring and summer months featuring seasonal ingredients and
shareable plates. Inspired by the hotel’s popular daily High Tea, Campbell has
created a three tier Bosk Patio Tower featuring a selection of signature dishes
for guests to share including Bosk Sliders, Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Pork
Lettuce Wraps, Daily Market Oysters and Tuna Sashimi for CAD 22. Guests can also
enjoy dishes such as: the Kale and Asparagus Salad with bulgur wheat, red
onion, tomato, olive, and croutons; Crispy Calamari with chili, cilantro, lime
and sumac yogurt; and an artisanal Cheese Plate with fruit preserve, candied
nuts and melba toast. The menu will be available from 5 May to 30 September
2016.
Specialty Cocktails
To accompany the new patio menu, there will be a large selection of
fine wines, beer and three unique blends of sangria including a seasonally inspired
red, white and roséserved by the pitcher for CAD 39. Guests may also choose from a wide
variety of cocktails offered such as: the Apple Elixir with Crown Royal, simple
syrup, orange bitters, fresh apple and lemon juice; the Royale with Earl Grey
infused Beefeater gin, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup and egg whites; and the
Rum Runner made with Newfoundland Screech rum, fresh lime juice, ginger beer,
brown sugar simple syrup and blueberries plus many more.
