Safe you Finance

In no particular order, here are four good spots for a covert business meal, and another four that will impress clients and seal that deal. First the private…

1. LE SELECT BISTRO, 432 WELLINGTON ST. W.

Authentic Parisian cuisine with a quiet garden patio out back. Birds chirp as you ink the contract.

2. BIAGIO, 155 KING ST. E.

White-linen tablecloths give a Soprano feel to this old style Italian eatery with a charming courtyard café. Off the beaten path of the Bay Street crowd. Host a special dinner in the wine cellar.

3. GEORGE, 111 QUEEN ST. E. IN THE VERITY SPA

The room is very elegant, the chef is brilliant with French dishes and there are quite a few tables that can provide seclusion when needed.

4. JOSO’S, 202 DAVENPORT RD.

Two floors allow for private parties in this offbeat Yorkville seafood spot and you can ogle some original Dalis and Picassos to boot. Robert DeNiro raves about the calamari.

…Now impress ‘em:

5 instant personal loan approvals. THE ROOF LOUNGE AT THE PARK HYATT, 4 AVENUE RD

18th-floor bar restaurant offers one of the best views of the city with a wraparound balcony patio that will wow an out-of-town client.

6. HARBOUR SIXTY, 60 HARBOUR ST.

One of the tops in the traditional red meat/red wine variety. Prawns in the shrimp cocktail as big as your forearm and you can eyeball your giant slab of beef from the front display case.

7. BISTRO 990, 990 BAY ST.

For the see and be-seen types, a spot where the celebrities chill when they visit Toronto. Private dining areas too, if you would rather hide out when noshing on the fine French country fare.

8. AVENUE IN THE FOUR SEASONS, 21 AVENUE RD.

Another in the people-watching variety. Elegant, candlelit atmosphere and oversized couches and chairs along with a 6-metre onyx bar make it pretty hard not to enjoy your smoked salmon and lobster appetizers.
