The latest tour guide to Toronto comes via a UK publication that seems to have gotten the inside scoop, highlighting Toronto's trendiest places to eat, stay and play.
"Toronto is a city of distinct neighbourhoods, each with its own atmosphere and sense of community. I spend a leisurely afternoon wandering around the boutiques, cafes and galleries of West Queen West, where walls adorned with graffiti coexist happily with upscale clothes shops and boutique hotels," says an article that appeared in Dunstable Today.
From
Dufflet Bakery to the
St. Lawrence Market, the article paints a romantic picture of a city that comes alive in the summer. The best view is from the CN Tower's
Edge Walk. "From my vantage point high above the city, I can see many of the city’s most famous sights. To the south, ferries chug gently across Lake Ontario to Centre Island, a haven of rural tranquillity just minutes away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Toronto."
"And while it’s easy to find all kinds of cuisine, as befits the world’s most ethnically diverse city, the food scene seems to come into its own when dealing with local Canadian produce. With a slight shift in recent years away from fine dining and towards informal, seasonal eating, the city is packed with top-notch restaurants where the food is the star."
Union on Ossington comes highly recommend. " Try the elk sliders, the sticky ribs or head over on a Sunday evening for the 40 Canadian dollars (£25) prix fixe menu." The Lavender Lemonade available at the Drake's
Sky Yard, "the rooftop patio bar of Toronto’s hippest hotel."
Cocktail Bar on Dundas West also gets a mention, as well as accolades to its sister bar Black Hoof.
"It turns out that Toronto doesn’t just provide a little something for culture-lovers, epicures and thrill-seekers; it has the power to turn any of us - even me - into all of them."
