A restored downtown heritage atrium where soaring marble makes charred octopus feel like a civic event.
EXchange Tower, W Pender
More infoHydra Estiatorio solves the 'where should we go' problem by placing the answer inside a heritage tower atrium with soaring marble, so even if you order wrong the room covers for you. The Aegean menu is confident and classic: whole grilled fish filleted tableside, charred octopus, lamb chops, and dips you'll drag bread through until the bread is just an excuse. Dress a notch up; this is the event.
Dress a notch up and let the soaring EXchange atrium make your entrance for you, book the dinner service for the full theatrical mood. Order the whole grilled fish filleted tableside, the charred octopus, and a spread of dips you'll keep dragging warm bread through; budget close to two hours under those marble ceilings. It's a look-at-us kind of room, so lean into the occasion before heading back out into downtown.
