This is the new location of our old favourite, Frank's Kitchen (used to be on College). We finally made it to this place and the ambiance is even better. They use tons of fresh and local ingredients. A great place for a special dinner out.

In an unassuming apartment complex you'll find one of Toronto's top restaurants. The food doesn't disappoint and being up on the hill gives beautiful views of the city scape below. A worthwhile stop for a special night out.

A favourite of ours. We love the creativity in the dishes that come from this small and beautiful Pan-Asian restaurant. We definitely recommend sharing the dishes - you may want to try them all! When on College Street, there is plenty to see for nightlife, desserts and such if you continue to wander west from this location.

A must! View it from afar or take the trip to the top! The revolving restaurant is also a great choice for excellent views on a clear day and includes the price of admission to the tower. (Also lets you skip the lineup that can sometimes be long!)

Parks & Nature

The biggest park in Toronto. It even houses a small free "zoo" with an interesting assortment of animals - particularly great for little kids. There's also a great play structure for kids near the zoo. Bring a picnic or eat at the (simple) restaurant on site. Pack a frisbee and enjoy this huge park. There are paddle boats to use on the water in the summer.
