Call it the King of the Throne — Toronto’s e11even restaurant on York Street has just won the second annual Canada’s Best Washroom Award.

“We’ve worked hard for this,” says Steven Salm, the establishment’s general manager. “It feels even better knowing it was the public that made the final decision.”

The contest is sponsored by Cintas — the company that provides uniforms as well as restroom cleaning and supplies — and this year attracted hundreds of nominations from across Canada, including hotels, convention centres and even a car dealership.

Cintas Canada’s senior marketing manager, Leslie Molin, said the restaurant’s washrooms are spotless and decorated with the finest of material and hardware.

“The dining experience extends to the entire restaurant,” says Molin. “You want everything to be positive and if the washrooms just aren’t right everything else is diminished.”
