"Next on our list is a classic Queen Street supperclub spot that most who are familiar with if they’ve ever gone out to party on Queen West. The Drake Hotel, but for all intensive purposes, we’re strictly talking about the rooftop patio. With premium drinks and food this casual spot lends itself well to the eclectic hipster vibe of Queen West."

"– Located on the rooftop of The Drake Hotel, Sky Yard is right in downtown Toronto on Queen St W. Get some shopping done before you head up for a spectacular cocktail."

"Since it’s located on the third floor of an older building right off Queen West on the edge of Chinatown, Alo feels like a secret. And, when you get upstairs, you’ll find one of the most inventive tasting menus in Toronto. Since the food revolves around seasonal ingredients, it changes regularly but you might see things like Hokkaido scallops with truffle and brown butter or a 60-day aged ribeye."

"This delicious spot is known for its incredible Canadian cuisine. You can order multi-course meals for takeout or delivery when you hit them up on the website ExploreTok.com. When you eat here, you know you’ll be enjoying the finest, freshest, seasonal ingredients."

"Considered one of Toronto's best restaurants for multi-course tasting menus, this Queen West establishment defines a pretty distinct tier of upscale dining. Birthday dinners, anniversaries and special outings will always have a place here."

"– Located on King and Portland this rooftop patio is part of the popular Italian restaurant below, so enjoy an amazing meal alongside your cocktails. What is it known for?. – Gusto 101 is known for its industrial setting as well as having wine on tap, a great excuse for a visit."

"Gusto 101 is a Southern Italian classics restaurant that opened in 2012. Photo by Gusto 101 website. Gusto 101 is a contemporary restaurant with a retractable rooftop patio serving Italian classics."

"Gusto 101 is always a favourite with its modern take on southern Italian classics and industrial-style setting. There’s always lots of seating too which makes it a popular place all summer long."

"This place has pretty much all you could dream of when it comes to stellar sights of the city. Their 360 degree views make dining here more than memorable. AND they have a bar and an outdoor pool, so come back in the summertime for a skyline dip."

"Situated astride Lake Ontario, East Point Park is one of Toronto’s largest parkland places spreading across an area of 136 acres. It is home to more than 178 species of birds and is also a migratory staging area for monarch butterflies. The unparalleled view of the landscape made up of meadow, beach, forest, and wetland is worth watching."

"Located just to the south of the Art Gallery of Ontario, Grange Park is a small green space but a lovely spot to catch a dose of the outdoors in the city. The area was originally part of the Boulton family Estate, built in 1817, of which The Grange is all that remains. Along with a children’s play area and off-leash dog area, the park is full of gems to discover."

"What is it: Another member of the unofficial Aleyards brewing collective, the fine folks at Junction pump out creative brews at an impressive pace – up to 600 small batches per year, on their count. Why go: The brewery’s setting, a former trash incinerator built in the Art Deco era (c. 1934), will take your breath away. Luckily, there are plenty of tasty, creative beers (barrel-aged porters, German-style festbiers and Berlinerweisses) to revive you."

"You might not look at Junction’s stately new home and think “trash incinerator,” but that’s precisely what it was built to be in the early 30s, when it was known as “The Destructor” (dope). When brewmaster Doug Pengelly and Co. moved in, they kitted the place out with energy-saving brewing tanks, plus a taproom pouring everything from staples like Conductor’s APA to Earl Grey ale and mango lager."

"From stouts to lagers, to sours, to ales, Junction Craft gives you various options from which to choose. Residents of Toronto get free delivery when they order at least 12 cans. If you live elsewhere in Ontario, you need to spend at least $75 to qualify for free shipping."

"After working up an appetite since lunch, head straight over to China Town to find some of the neighbourhoods best food joints. A favourite of mine was the Dumpling House. Yes, it was pretty informal and totally relaxed but the food was so incredible!. With restaurants, I always feel it’s substance over style."

"It’s a great spot to stop for lunch or you can wait as you make your way to Chinatown. One of the best things to do in Toronto is go to a Blue Jays game."
