ANZAC Day Dinner, Wednesday, April 25th
The Nomads' third annual Anzac Day Dinner will be held on Wednesday, April 25th, at Messis Restaurant. It is located at 97 Harbord Street, just west of Spadina.
The menu looks fantastic with your choice of starters, main and dessert. Cocktails from 6:30-7:00 pm; dinner at 7:00 pm.
The cost is $65 per person which includes a three-course meal, wine, all taxes and gratuities. Cash bar for cocktails.
Toronto has a great tradition of making occasions out of holidays that are important to prominent segments of its transplanted population: St. Patrick's Day, Chinese New Year and Robbie Burns night are just a few of the holidays that Toronto has embraced.
The Nomads believe that New Zealand and Australia have added much to Toronto's cultural mosaic, so an occasion to acknowledge that is in order.
