"One is to have a dinner and show at Medieval Times (seriously it’s even fun if you don’t have kids). You eat your 4-course dinner with your hands like they would have in the 11th century and you get assigned a team to cheer behind for you knight during the tournament. Make sure to buy tickets in advance."

"A luxury spa along University Avenue, located within the Shangri-la hotel, the Miraj Hammam spa is only one of the many reasons why the hotel is a solid 5-star extravaganza. @beckermanblogembedded via. A traditional Middle Eastern Hammam with an additional relaxing influence from the capital city of France, the treatments found here are different than the other modern spas you’ll find in the city."

"This standalone spa facility inside Toronto's luxurious Shangri-La Hotel offers a traditional hammam that promises to "cleanse your body while stimulating your senses and imagination." Detoxify to the max by getting a full body scrub with eucalyptus infused black Moroccan soap while you lie back on Jerusalem gold marble."

"This relaxing spot is beautifully designed with influence from Paris, Marrakech and Istanbul. Their treatments are inspired by the rituals of the Middle East and include things like Hammam & Gommage (a steam and body exfoliation), a clay body masque, and a Turkish bath ritual. Where: 188 University Ave"

"13 The Liège-style Belgian sugar waffles from this market stand are addictive enough to eat on their own. Hot and fresh from the griddle press, the puffy squares are tender on the outside and irresistibly chewy on the inside. But you’d be a fool not to gild this lily with market-fresh fruit, whipped cream and a glug of Ontario maple syrup."

"Toronto’s beer scene has plenty of ­cutting-edge newcomers, so it’s refreshing to also have at least one that’s happily obsessed with the olden days. That’s just how they brew things here in Little Portugal, drawing influences from Belgian and Old World beers that have been brewed since the Middle Ages. The Sunny Places sour pale ale is more contemporary but relies on a centuries-old variety of Norwegian yeast called kveik that gives it a time-tested tang."

"Here, 13 rotating taps showcase inventive riffs on Belgian-style beers. Must-tries include the Flemish Cap, an old-world saison fermented with Brett cultures from Guelph’s Escarpment Labs, and the Promethean Fire, a Flanders-style red ale fermented in cognac barrels. Great brews aside, the brewery is situated on a bustling chunk of College Street, and big tables, a bigger backyard and a laid-back atmosphere all lend an air of conviviality."
