"A post shared by Yumei Sushi (@yumeisushi) on Mar 26, 2019 at 11:12am PDT. Yumei Sushi Japanese Restaurant is located at the heart of Queen East. This well-known establishment has been around since it opened its door to customers in 1995."
"If you’re a fan of natural locations, Scarborough Bluffs should be at the top of your list for a romantic photoshoot. Whether it is a save the date, engagement or wedding photoshoot, the glittering lake and the distant view of the iconic Toronto skyline will make your photos memorable and extraordinary. You can also pack a picnic and have a picnic-themed photoshoot with your partner and add a domestic element to your photos."
"Lakeshore cliffs with cathedral-spire formations expose evidence of five glacial periods at Scarborough Bluffs. Spanning 14km, from Rosetta McClain Gardens to East Point Park, this is a stunning landscape as well..."
"By far the cutest macarons in the city, this small patisserie in Kensington Market should not be missed for fans of the traditionally French dessert. In a variety of adorable shapes, these macarons delight the eyes as much as they delight the tongue. All of the shapes take inspiration from the animal kingdom (panda, corgi, etc…) or pop culture (the limited edition Toronto Raptors macaron) and anime (No-Face from Spirited Away, Tiger from Winnie the Pooh, and Doraemon, etc…)."
"Daan Go is the brainchild of Christopher Siu, who was on season 2 of Masterchef Canada Season 2!. They’re famous for their adorable character macarons, but they also have beautiful cakes and other pastries. They have 1 downtown location in Kensington Market and 2 locations in Scarborough."
"Speaking of bread-like desserts, there’s also this gorgeous spot to check out. You can order handcrafted strudels right to your door all season long. The sweet and flakey dessert is perfect as a gift or for treating yourself."
"A post shared by Bake Shoppe (@bakeshoppeto) on Mar 12, 2020 at 3:46pm PDT. Sweets and sass, sass and sweets. They go together like peanut butter and jelly, and Bake Shoppe knows it."
"A phenomenal hangout den for the Jazz lovers, The Reservoir Lounge is where you can witness band performances, celebrity appearances. As the authorities like to introduce themselves this is the place home to – Cool Jazz, Hot Swing, Great People, Smart Cocktails, and Good Eats. There is a different band performance each day, with different music altogether."
"Reservoir Lounge provides a fabulous gathering place where jazz listeners can meet. This is where you can attend band performances and visits from celebrities. In fact, they have a change of band performance every day playing completely different music."
"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."
"With its buzzing rooftop, sleek crowd, and location in King West Village—an area of historic factories now considered one of Canada’s capitals of cool—the Thompson is one of Toronto’s year-round hotspots. A bold, contemporary style pervades the property, with industrial accents and loud pops of color creating a vibrant backdrop for the action. The vibe is very much urban resort, and it's a one-stop hub for all your entertainment needs."
"It is not exactly surprising that we put a hotel under the umbrella of romantic things to do. Turndown service, plush linens and a room that has a bed as a centrepiece are surefire ways to keep things spicy. However, we included this hotel because of the sublime rooftop lounge."
"If fancy is you’re after, The Thompson Hotel rooftop delivers in spades. Drinks here are on the pricier side of things but the quality and spectacular views will ensure your money is well spent."
