Toronto is one of our favourite Canadian cities to visit, particularly in the summer with the heat is one, all the venues are booked with activities, festivals, concerts and sports outings - and of course the very neat downtown core, harborfront, distillery district and food scene on King & Queen east of the city. 

Toronto is great for couples, families, friends and of course business travel. The city is highly accessible through train, transit, car, bike or ride share. 

Here is a guide of our favourite spots to visit, stay and eat. Enjoy!

We had an amazing week exploring Toronto! From the cozy, Spanish-inspired Bar Isabel to the decadent treats at Honey's Ice Cream, our taste buds were on a constant adventure.

El Catrin Destileria's vibrant Mexican dishes and Café Landwer's Mediterranean breakfasts added zest to our days. SOMA Chocolatemaker was a chocolate lover’s dream, while Balzac’s Distillery provided the perfect coffee fix. We savored authentic Italian at Terroni and enjoyed craft coffee and whiskey at Boxcar Social.

Liberty Village's trendy vibe and Kensington Market's eclectic mix of food and culture rounded out our trip.
