Traders Bar and Grill at Sheraton Centre Toronto

After over a week staying in Toronto, observed the surrounding and the local habits we came to a conclusion there were three things that play a big part in Canadian society. Steak/Grill, Starbucks and Salt. Steak/ Grill and Starbucks you will find anywhere you go and salt you will find in most food. 


One example of salty meal was at Traders. A casual eatery and bar where we had our snack. We went for a portion of mild chicken wings to share to start with. The chicken were juicy indeed, but they were soaked in salt! So salty, they made our eyes water! Well.. we thought it was a one off thing (maybe the chef accidentally put too much salt), but we were wrong. Our next dishes, fish and chips and cobb salad with salmon confirmed it all. The chips were covered in salt! Well.. the salmon in cobb salad was not too bad, but it was salty enough that we did not find necessary to drizzle the dressing to season the whole plate of green salad. We literally finished a bottle of Pinot Grigio from Niagara plus three bottles of 750 ml each of Perrier to get rid of the thirst through the meal. Wowww!! We never went through so much liquid in such a quick meal before. 

Enough with salty food, we thought of sharing a cheese cake. Well.. it arrived looking rather attractive, but we were certain it was not made fresh. 

We tried the nachos too! It was super salty. That got us to realise, it must be the trick so people drink more at the bar. Certainly worked on us. 
One other thing about the bar at Traders was one particular barman. He was rudely refused to serve us drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink) at 19.40! His excuse was he wanted to close the till. Yet he served other guys next to us. He had no problem serving us before though. Not a very pleasant experience. We would not come back to that bar again!!
