Eat & drink your way through tiers. 🦪🍰
High tea at Fairmont Chateau Laurier. Right: Sangria tower at Mexicali Rosa's.

The rest of your meals that week will seem boring in comparison. You can enjoy a fancy night out eating through a seafood tower, bring out your inner royalty with an afternoon high tea or get extra boozy with a massive sangria tower. The only question is, are you up for the challenge?
