Food Scene

I'm in love with their americanos and nostalgic decor. They use exclusively Kona beans from Hawaii. This is for the serious coffee drinker and occasional sipper alike. SO GOOD!!!

More than pub food, this joint has a fantastic menu. Their fried pickles and fried chicken are out of this world. Great selection of interesting brews. Peculiar mugshots decorate the walls.

Honestly, this is so delicious, it is worth the price tag. If you love meaty BBQ, drop by to pick up a lunch deal, or take your sweetie on a dinner date! Call for evening reservations.

A Tex-Mex diner, this is my favourite brunch spot in the city! I always order the Huevos Divorciados, a masterpiece of eggs, tortillas, and red and green salsas. Order half salad/half fries.

I highly recommend making a reservation at the 360 for a nice lunch with a friend or a romantic dinner out! This revolving restaurant does a full 360 in one hour! Includes free lift up the CN Tower!

Open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year! If you need food or coffee, it's late, and all else fails, you can always rely on McDonald's. So close to home and always open. Great for early airport trips.

Go for the afternoon tea service with fancy sandwiches and cakes. It's not too pricy (around $30/person), and it's right next to the Humber Trail for a long walk before or after.

The food here is not the greatest, but that's not why you go. You go because it's right in the middle of High Park, so it's the perfect pit stop for a coffee or ice cream before or after your walk through the park and/or visit to the park zoo.

Very noisy restaurant that is almost always full for dinner. You can wait for a table, or they will call you when your table is ready after you've checked in. Despite this setback, their wood-burning-oven pizzas are delicious! I recommend the eggplant pizza or arugula pizza. Try going at lunchtime for a much quieter atmosphere and guaranteed table. No reservations.

I recommend the off-leash dog park to go see other people's doggies run wild and play! Then, head down to the zoo or to walk by the pond. If you are here in the summer, they sometimes have live Shakespeare theatre in the outdoor amphitheater, and it's pay-what-you-can.

Sightseeing

This Toronto landmark is a must see! It's pricey to go up the tower, but well worth it! Even better, avoid paying for the lift when you go dine at the 360 revolving restaurant! So nice!
