Dinner

Come join us for dinner, drinks and fun! From the restaurant: Housed within a reimagined historic landmark, this 23,000 square foot destination blends bold Mediterranean and Asian influences with immersive design, dynamic energy, and a distinct point of view — all built around the art of social dining. Led by seasoned local restaurateurs, Queens Harbour is inspired by the warmth of Mediterranean hospitality—where meals are about connection, not just cuisine. Bringing you a Chef-driven “MediterrAsian” culinary journey —a flavourful fusion where the boldness of Asia meets the soul of the Mediterranean. With Canada’s largest retractable rooftop patio and three uniquely designed dining spaces—including the private and semi-private Donika, Janine, and Rowa named after the Founders mothers —every seat reveals a new perspective.
