As my daughters and I approached we were
immediately seduced by the smell of roast chicken and garlic that perfumed the
grounds of Toronto’s Exhibition place.
We climbed the stairs and entered into the beautifully
decorated lobby filled with eager guests and collected our black and white crowns. On route to the stadium we passed through the
gift shop, ornamented in a medieval theme with archaic dark colours and high
ceilings.
As we entered the staffs were all dressed in costume and
busily serving beverages to the already packed house. We made our way down the stairs guided by our
wench and arrived at our table decorated with medieval place settings and took
our seats. The theatre style tournament
began as soon as our drinks were served and we were treated to show horses
performing tricks while enjoying our appetizers.
I was surprised that my generally picky-eaters loved food! The soup, lightly seasoned baked chicken and buttery corn on the cob are perfectly kid-friendly and the buttery tart and coffee at the end is exactly the kick us parents need to withstand the drive home with your excitement filled bunch.
The best part about eating at Medieval Times is the
experience and taking that “step back in time” so many stories can be shared
and lessons can be learned about how people ate were entertained before
technology. Stadium tournaments were the
TVs for kids back then and it’s always a great idea to take a break and see
some live action. Also super fun for my daughters was skipping the cutlery and
eating with your hands medieval style.
My family frequents exotic South Asian and African restaurants so we are
definitely a “hands-on” bunch.
