Klaus brings in primarily Ontario meats
and sh from our Great Lakes, and gets up
early each Saturday morning to replenish his
stock of produce at the Trail’s End Market in
East London. His philosophy on the matter
is simple — “it tastes better.”
Another favourite of the Marienbad’s
patrons is the Murder Mystery series. Usually
running the last Friday of each month
through the fall, winter and spring months,
$39 treats you to a three-course meal, during
which the drama unfolds. Be careful which
table you sit next to, however, as one of your
fellow diners is the culprit. “We’ll actually be
running additional dates around the holidays,”
Jonathan remarks. “People really get
into it.”
Another feature the Marienbad is known
for is its selection of private rooms. e
ground oor features the Atrium, which is
clad in the same golden brick as the building’s
exterior. Its glass ceiling allows sunshine
to pour in over the mural of Carlsbad,
Czechoslovakia (a town near Marienbad
Spa), painted by a family member of the
original owner. is room holds about thirty
people. If you need a larger space, the replace
room upstairs may be more your style.
Almost matching the layout of Chaucer’s
below, this room will host parties of eighty or
so, and is adorned with a replace of its own
and wood furnishings from London’s old
courthouse.
Towards the end of my visit, Jonathan mentioned
that during this past August, Chaucer’s
was host to Art Fusion (londonfuse.ca), a collective
of visual and musical artists. “Some
nights there were things going on in every
room,” he remarks, and adds that events will
likely return next summer. For me, I plan on
being back much sooner.
