Celebrate all things culinary at TRX Eats, The Exchange TRX’s festival of cuisine, mixology, and entertainment
With the opening of The Exchange TRX bringing with it a slew of new restaurants, bars, and cafés, the lifestyle hub has simultaneously brought our dining scene to new heights. TRX Eats, its month long celebration of all things culinary, aims to push the mall’s gastronomic feats even further.
Until May 26, The Exchange TRX’s Dining Terrace will transform into the city’s most vibrant nightlife destination, complete with DJ sets, dance classes, and, of course, unparalleled dining experiences.
Besides appearances from the popular local DJ collective, Saturday Selects, and an exhilarating lineup of dance classes, guests can get involved at mixology workshops, treat themselves to a curated omakase dinner, and indulge in their favourite meals for a fraction of the price. We’ve broken put together a list of activities that cater to everyone, whether you’re never able to decide what to order or simply relish a weekend cocktail.
