CURRENCY CONVERTER

Not getting enough protein? Get thee to Harry Barberian's upscale steakhouse, which has been going strong since 1959 (his son, Arron, has since taken over). The room is cozy in a clubby way, with dark woods, framed newspapers, and pre-Confederation doodads. The menu rarely changes, but you won't hear any grousing -- the crowd is too busy slurping martinis. The highlights are the eight steaks, from 9-ounce sirloin to 23-ounce porterhouse, all served with rice and spuds. The less traditional can partake of dishes like cheese or beef fondue for two, which is on the late-night menu (10pm-midnight). For all intents and purposes, there is only one dessert: Grand Marnier soufflé for two. The wine list is about 1,000 strong, so bring your reading specs. Celebrity sightings aren't uncommon, but autograph seeking is frowned upon.

Main courses C$22-$37 (US$15-$26).Open: Mon-Fri noon-2:30pm; daily 5pm-midnight.Reservations required.Credit Cards: AE, DC, MC, V.Subway: Dundas.
