Top 5 Restaurants in Toronto
1. Bar Isabel
Unique and wonderfull restaurant in Toronto! You might want to take a look and try some magnificently fatty charcuterie dishes, which have lost their novelty, but the first-rate seafood tapas, like a tender, briny whole octopus, lightly grilled and tossed with garlic and lemon juice, or mojama, another traditional tapas dish, which layers medallions of air-dried albacore tuna with luscious orange sections and toasted.
797 College St, Toronto, ON M6G 1C7, Canadá

The majority of the plates provide some consolation, particularly that lime charlotte, which you should not miss, and the spell-casting Mexican spiced hot chocolate that’s thickened with ground almonds, barley and hazelnuts.

190 University, at Adelaide W,

Top 5 Shops in Toronto
This menswear/coffee shop hybrid is just as down-to-earth as before – white walls, exposed brick, and shipping crate furnishings are still very much in the picture. But, the new space is much larger, giving more room to offer the made-in-North-America clothing and fair-trade coffee they’re known for.
44 Ossington Ave.
647.348.281
VSP Consignment, is a 8,000 square-foot ladies’ consignment department store, can hardly be pigeonholed with the classic perceptions of a consignment store. It’s not massive, the clothes aren’t organized hastily by type, and you don’t have to dedicate an entire day of hunting to find the perfect piece for you.

91 Ossington Avenue
647.729.7078
Working Title looks like an contemporary menswear boutique. Stark white walls, grey tile, minimalist furnishings, and meticulously folded, perfectly spaced merchandise are just some of its topmost telltale signs. One glance is all it takes to figure it out. Or so I thought.
126A Davenport Road
416.551.1085
5. North Standard Trading Post
North Standard Trading Post, the newest clothing retailer to set up shop in Parkdale, is the epitome of Canadian-style coziness.

69 Bathurst Street
Toronto
647.400.4788
Brought to you by “nightlife king” (and you know he must be growing weary of that title) Charles Khabouth and Ink Enterntainement, it was conceived as being “the first of its kind” with LED-light installations, top-of-the-line sound system, and the industrial appeal of the original space (which previously housed Devil’s Martini).
473 Adelaide Street West
416.603.9300
Product is a great club with multiple levels, reasonably priced drinks and people that are paid to dance as part of the decor (how does one put that on a resume?). Oh, and based on my experience, the bro factor is kept well in check. 1000 points for that.
364 Richmond St
416.351.1100
This Parkdale club is great as both an electro-leaning live music venue and as a nightclub. The awesome sound system, Michael Jackson arcade games, and Parkdale-appropriate tallboys of PBR prove that Wrongbar is right.
1279 Queen Street West
416.516.8677

At the Toronto Fringe, the trick is to see the hit shows before they’re over. Venues are tiny and the grapevine is quick, so getting in can be tricky, but with more than 100 troupes from both Canada and abroad on hand over the 12 days, there’s plenty of choice, and high quality.

5. Caribana
North America’s largest Caribbean festival attracts a million-plus tourists and sends what little remains of Toronto’s stodgy Anglo past into a happy tailspin. Thousands of colourfully costumed revellers participate in events like the King and Queen of the Bands competition, usually held at Lamport Stadium (1155 King Street W, West End) and the climactic parade that sees dozens of ‘mas’ (masquerade) bands floating west on Lake Shore Boulevard.
