Crown Princess Toronto Restaurant
Crown Princess Fine Dining is located a short walk from Yorkville and the Church & Wellesley Village. The fancy Chinese Yorkville restaurant is ranked as one of the best spots for Toronto dim sum. Its interior is pretty and posh, making it one of the most luxurious spots to enjoy Sunday brunch dim sum in downtown Toronto.
Step inside and you’ll find crystal chandeliers floating from the ceiling. The dining room fills with natural sunlight thanks to floor to ceiling windows that overlook the bustle on Bay Street. The soft and supple floors at Crown Princess Toronto are covered in a luxurious blue and gold carpet. Impressive multi-coloured marble walls shine beside ornate Rococo mirrors and quaffed cushions.
Crown Princess Toronto’s over-the-top interior clearly pays homage to famous luxury hotels in Hong Kong such as the Langham Hotel, Ritz-Carlton, Grand Hyatt, and Shangri-La.
Toronto’s Crown Princess location is actually a sister property to the equally opulent Crown Princess in Markham. Both restaurants clearly court Toronto’s Chinese wedding planners and visiting Hong Kong expense accounts.
