One of the best burgers in the city. You got to try the poutine! Also they have a great kids menu and craft beers. Long lines ups during dinner time try to go for an early bird dinner or lunch.

Ranked the best food market in the world by National Geographics. They also have a great farmers market on Saturdays however it's in a separate building. Walking distance from Union station. Situated in Old York (historical Toronto).

If you plan on going into wine country this is a vineyard you must check out. It's a smaller vineyard with one of the best wines produced. Since Ontario wines are younger, they may give you a headache especially if you plan on going wine tasting. However with Thirty Bench you won't run into that problem. I personally only go to Thirty Bench and Marynissen Estates Winery.

Tiny vineyard with the oldest vines in the region. Small batch wines made in traditional European tradition.

Voted one of the best Sushi restaurants in North America. Definitely a place to celebrate a milestone. The menu is pre-fix with chef's choice. Very small so you need reservations. Each plate is a piece of art!

Definitely one of the top zoos in the world. I would say that it beats San Diego Zoo! It's a massive area and lots of walking. So be prepared to bring a backpack with your lunch, lots of water and good walking shoes. They also have a waterpark for kids in the summer.

Love Riverdale Farms. Nested in the world's largest amount of Victorian homes (Cabbage Town) you'll feel like you were transported to the past. It was originally the Toronto Zoo.
