TORONTO: CANADIAN GETAWAY

TO. The acronym standing for Toronto. Since I moved to Montreal, I went couple of times. Really enjoyed it. This city is truly vibrating. There, you’ll have the opportunity to eat amazing food from all-over the world, enjoy the lake area, visit distilleries and enjoy a really interesting nightlife.

I gathered my favorite spot and compiled them in this little blog post. Hope you’ll get the chance to go to those if you visit Toronto!

Enjoy! xoxo

HOTSPOT:

Eat & Drink:

Bar Chef:

A super cosy and classy setting. Amazingly creative and one-of-a-kind cocktails. If you look for a place to chill with friends but still dress up, Bar Chef is the place to go. It’s location, near Queens street, is also ideal for pre-games before going to club or other lounges.

Drake Hotel:

As its name indicates it, this is the hotel founded by Drake. I would recommend to go there for a drink before going to club or for a brunch. The setting has a bit of a retro vibe and is quite interesting. The location is located in a quite trendy and hipster-ish area of Downtown Toronto.

Chef Assembly:

Imagine a food court composed of different stand offering gastronomy from all over the world. Well. It exists and it is called Chef Assembly. Really affordable and delicious meals and drinks in a trendy setting. This is how I would describe this amazing spot. Perfect for a lunch or coffee with friends.

Soco:

Looking for a place for to brunch with friends near the CN Tower and which offers meals that satisfy all diets? Go to Soco. Appart for the nice cocktails, the food is delicious. All the plates proposed on the menu - ranging from pizzas to avocado toast - can be adapted to the different diets (vegan, gluten free, …).

Pai:

If you are fond of Thai food, this is a place for you. Enjoy amazing pad thai and curry for a really affordable price and in a nice traditional-inspired decor. Be careful the place is packed everyday, so make sure to come early if you don’t want to wait outside.

Brett’s Ice Cream:

The most creative and surprising ice cream ever. I had never since such an extravagant and colourful range. And it’s delicious! Totally recommend you to visit that shop if you go to the lack area. FYI, they offer vegan and gluten free options.

Dance:

Underground Garage:

I have a massive crush on this low-key bar. The atmosphere is laidback. The music is amazing. A perfect place to enjoy drinks and dance all night long with your friends.

Stay:

Bisha:

If you look for a place to stay in town or simply to have drink in an exquisite setting, Bisha is my recommendation for you guys! It is stylish, funky and ideally located. And do not miss the rooftop restaurant with a 360 view !

Be a tourist: By this I mean, be open-minded. There is nothing better to visit a city than going with the flow. Toronto offers a large range of activities, place to visit, restaurants, and so much more. So be chill and go where your heart tells you to go.

Be ready for everything: When packing, I really recommend you to take with you outfits that can be converted easily. As mentioned above, Toronto has many possibilities so just be ready for everything and anything! Better be over prepared than underprepared, don’t you think?
