Food Scene

Mind-blowing pastries made by a French-trained chef who looks *a bit* like a member of the Hell's Angels. Get an almond croissant and a cappuccino and have a wonderful day.

Toronto's only Scottish pub (that we care about). Walk in and be seated by a red haired lass who is truly the warmest host in the city. Order the burger, fish and chips, beet salad, or one of the daily specials (can't go wrong). Awesome beers on tap and whisky, obviously. Flights of it.

A Toronto take on Korean(ish). If you're snacking/sharing, order a cocktail, the squash poutine, and a Loosey (think Big Mac but little, and on toasty white bread). If you're feasting, try one of the platters, a big rice dish, or one of the specials - which usually include a veggie option.

Vegan bakery for vegan and non-vegan people alike. Nobody can hate on these donuts. Flavours change up daily and never disappoint. Go early to make sure you get some.

Great coffee and baked goods. Lots of room to sit. Sweet spot where Ossington Ave. meets Queen St. West. Perfect for fueling up before exploring.

Drinks & Nightlife

Cozy, quaint and cool. Nothing fancy, just the way we like it. Small but decent selection of beers on tap. Monday nights you all become one big happy (actually) family and choose which record plays. Live music sometimes.

A cool spot because it's not "the cool spot". Grab a pint, play some pool, watch a game, then grab a slice from Bitondo's across the street.

The best craft beer spot in the city. Always something new, tasty, and inventive. Awesome salumi and cheese boards. If the smell of the french fries sprinkled with rosemary wafts by your table and you manage not to order some of your own, I will be surprised.

Parks & Nature

A very cool park where you will find most people between the ages of 20 and 40, drinking tall cans and hanging out all day long, on any and every nice day, from May through September.
