"The Pilot is (as the name might give away) an aviation-themed bar, located in the Yorkville area. Here you find a ground floor Stealth Lounge, open year round, and up top a seasonal Flight Deck. Quite simple in decoration, the terrace offers an ok view of the surrounding rooftops, along with its own bar and a very good and festive atmosphere."

"A post shared by The Pilot (@thepilot_to) on Jan 8, 2019 at 2:11pm PST. The Pilot Tavern is everything you want a bar/restaurant to be, great drinks served alongside delicious food. The Pilot consists of three floors, with the main floor restaurant, the Stealth Lounge on the second floor and the third-floor patio, The Flight Deck."

"Their coffee is so good that you can even take part in their subscription service and get your favourite coffee sent to your door. You choose from bag quantity, and delivery frequency. Three locations are currently closed, 100 King Street West, Union Station, and Toronto Street."

"Located on Yonge Downtown, Dineen Coffee is a remarkable and easily visible store for travelers to pass by for a takeaway brought along their trip as well as the typical place that occurs lots of business discussions made by many local officers. Another special factor that attracts customers is the endless golden light brightening during days or nights. This will also bring you to the 90s feelings with the identical decoration inside and outside the house."

"Hot or cold, however you like it, Dineen Coffee Co. has got you covered. Pair it with a puff pastry or delicious snack for your day. There are three locations across Toronto, ready for you to stop by and enjoy."

"Dineen Coffee can only be described as an elegant coffee place. Want to feel like you’re transported into the 1920s art-deco era?. Come to Dineen – cause that’s how we felt."

"Nadège Patisserie has a variety of picture-perfect desserts|© Nadège Patisserie. Day-date dessert rendezvous are highly encouraged at Nadège Patisserie, Toronto’s premier spot for delicate French macarons. Light and crisp with a creamy ganache middle, these addictive bites are never overwhelmingly sweet."

"The clean modern design of Nadège along with the cafe’s sumptuous cakes, macarons, chocolates, biscuits, marshmallows, pastries and sandwiches have made it must-see-and-taste attraction for locals and visitors alike. If you’re looking for the best macarons in Toronto look no further than Nadège."

"King’s Vegetarian Food is a wholesaler of delicious vegan food products, served at all of their restaurants and now in many grocery stores across the province. King’s Cafe is their restaurant in downtown Toronto, and Zen Gardens is the name of the restaurant in Mississauga, London, and Guelph. I’m a massive fan of Zen Gardens, King’s Cafe, and King’s Vegetarian Food products."

"7 – Stop in at the Poop Café in Koreatown It is exactly as it sounds – a Poop café. Sit on Toilet shaped seats and enjoy an ice cream sundae in a toilet “bowl.” The ice cream is whipped and dipped in chocolate to resemble the real thing. Once you get past the presentation, enjoy a delicious chocolate sundae in the heart of Toronto’s Korean scene."

"Okay so this one might not be for the faint of heart – this poop-themed café is full of unique ideas, such as serving food in toilet shaped bowls. There are equally cute toilet-bowl and urinal shaped mugs. There are toilets as seats (but with actual seats, don’t worry)."

"HCafe is a Japanese bakery serving up freshly-baked, traditional Japanese cheesecakes. It’s one of my family’s favourite dessert places in Markham – we love the taro Japanese cheesecake!. Their Markham location is located in Main Street Unionville neighbourhood, which is also one of the cutest and most Instagram-worthy spots in York Region 😉"

"A tried and true favourite for brunch in the city, you’ve got to hit up Old School for a taste of what’s good. Savoury, sweet, light or carb-heavy, this spot is serving the goods to the best of the brunch crowd, and it’s well worth waiting for if there’s a line when you arrive. Address: 800 Dundas Street WestPhone:  416-815-8790"

"Old School has some epic comfort food and is also the home of Toronto’s best pancake stack, the Blueberry Hill. This brunch all-day hotspot has fresh classics made from scratch with a modern twist. Expect to dig into delicious BLTs to chicken and waffles, pulled pork sandwiches, French toast, and so much more."

"School meets diner vibes at this adorable brunch spot on Dundas West. I’d say Old School is definitely up there on my list of the best brunch places in Toronto – the food here is absolutely incredible!. Their Blueberry Hill Pancakes are life – definitely some of the best pancakes I’ve ever had in Toronto."

"The Dundas west location of Café Plenty is a neat little spot in the middle of a super busy area; It’s smack across the street from Toronto Police 52 Division, on the cusp of Hospital Row and heading towards China Town west. This small yet roomy chic café is good for a croissant and latte pick-up, but if you’re hankering for more grab a sandwich and salad as well."

"3 Before he became known as Kungfu Dawg, purveyor of street meat, Stephen Payne was the head of the charcuterie program at Parkdale’s now-closed Parts and Labour. He went on to cook at Wallace and Co. in the Junction Triangle, then he opened up the city’s coolest hot dog stand on Ossington. Now he slings his homemade, no-filler franks and corn dogs loaded with (also homemade) condiments and toppings at breweries, flea markets and street parties all across the city."

"This restaurant is on Amelia street, so it could not be more aptly named. However, the restaurant's amiability extends far beyond the entrance. Owners and waiters learn your name quickly and don't rush you through your Northern Italian dinner."

"Her Father’s Cider Bar + Kitchen is such a cool spot in the Annex that deserves way more recognition. They serve farm-to-table dishes using local ingredients, and everything they make is just so incredibly delicious. The restaurant interior itself is rustic chic, and there’s a cool graffiti wall on the patio that makes for some Instagram-worthy shots."

"If farmhouse chic and local craft ciders are your thing, Her Father’s Cider Bar + Kitchen is your place. Who says you can’t have ciders with your brunch?!. They use local ingredients in their farm-to-table dishes, and there’s nothing on their menu that isn’t delicious."

"CRAFT Beer Market is one of the best places in Toronto to grab a pint, but since we can’t really go out and do that right now, the next best thing is to order some takeout or delivery. If you’re into classic game day and bar eats, CRAFT’s game day combos are perfect for you. It’s all pizza, nachos, and wings galore!"

"Heaters placed above a spacious seating area send ambient warmth beating down over a large garden at this Financial District bar where you can embrace fall Oktoberfest vibes with a flight of beers."

"This Markham restaurant does a grand buffet for $18.99 weekdays and $21.99 weekends, where you can dig into Indian vegetarian, meat, and rice dishes to your heart’s content."
