Elite Grande Restaurant & Banquet Hall

We had our wedding reception for 80 people here and had an exceptional experience. The food was delicious with generous portion sizes, the live performances added just the right amount of energy to the evening, and the venue itself is ornately decorated — fitting the joyous atmosphere. All of our guests had a great time and most importantly of all, we couldn’t have envisioned the night going any better. Highly recommended for any large event.

The name really suits this place — you feel like a true member of the elite class when you walk in here!
From the classical wall décor to the exquisite chandeliers and aristocratic furnishings this place is the true manifestation of elegance. We have dined here numerous times, usually to celebrate our friends’ birthdays, and most recently for our own wedding reception, and we still get mesmerized every time we come here.
Everything about this place is perfect. I can downright say there is no other place in this city that can even remotely match the quantity and quality of food served to you. From caviar to lobster tails, filet mignon, and rack of lamb, everything is cooked to perfection. One thing is for certain: you will not walk out of this place hungry! :)
But it’s not just about the food. The service is impeccable and the cabaret shows are performed by some of the best dancers in the world (really). Great singers and DJ sets keep you on your feet all night long.
I recommend everyone to come experience this place at least once and make their own conclusions.

There was more entertainment than one of the top 5 nightclubs in North America (according to IDMA nominations)

Awesome place, had so much fun there. Best Russian restaurant in Toronto. The show is amazing, the singers are really talented. So much food, and everything is so delicious!

I have been to this Russian banquet hall twice and I loved it every time.
Food is amazing, the previous review from Karyn B. tells you why! :) And yes I love the fact that you have a choice for your main.
Interior design, show and the music is great. Definitely oriented for younger generation.

Wow! What a great experience at a great Russian restaurant!
The interior is absolutely beautiful — lots of gold, sparkle, richness — just elaborate and over the top — exactly how russians love it!
The food is outstanding — definitely the best food of any russian restaurant in Toronto
Dima (the head chef) has some amazing, unique stand out dishes; things you won’t find at other Russian restaurants
Our table had foie gras pâté, crab salad, Asian inspired green salad, wedge salad, seafood, various smoked fishes and MORE and this was just the first course
The «salad dimon» that follows is also so tasty — a salad made from potato matchsticks, mushrooms, garlic… Just super yummy
I also like that they take your order for your main, which makes the restaurant and meal more classy, in my opinion
The music was also fun — a young band singing lots of current English songs, current Russian song, and classic Russian songs — lots of fun; I love dancing the night away
They also have a show — made up of singing, ballroom dancing, group dancing — probably the best show I’ve seen at any Russian restaurant in Toronto
This place is also great for a younger generation
I had a great time and would definitely recommend
