Where: Toronto, ON
What: Restaurant; contemporary American
If Alice had fallen into a glass of whisky instead of the well that led to Wonderland, LOUIX LOUIS would hypothetically be her destination. Peering up at ‘Bouquet of Whisky,’ the 60 foot mural painted by Canadian artist Madison van Rijn that depicts mixing liquids and covers the expanse of the high-altitude restaurant’s ceiling, one could only expect to be in a dream world. From the ceiling down, the two storey-tall space on the 31st floor of the St. Regis Toronto is richly ornamented with wood, stone, and leather all in shades ranging from a pale gold to a tawny brown—a reflection of the colour spectrum within a glass of Canadian whisky.
Upon leaving, one wonders if the surreal experience was all just a dream. You’ll have to return to find out.
