Naughty Nooner

Now that Taverne
Square Dominion has introduced lunch service, were enjoying
something other than day-old sushi on a plastic tray.

With its sweeping bar, provincial crests and original terrazzo floor,
this former mens-only tavern has been restored to its 1920s glory. After
perusing the gastro-pub menu (French Canadian meets traditional
British), we dove into the Ploughmans lunch of duck, ham, pigs head
terrine, crusty bread and cheese.

Before sweetening your afternoon with a pint of beer and Sticky Toffee
Pudding, do call the office from the bar top rotary phone and let them
know youll need another hour.
