Get the cereal milk soft serve or take some baking/cookie mixes for home. Avoid the truffles -- overpriced and not that great.
One of the best hotels (and good value if you can get a good rate) in the area. Connected to the PATH and has a beautiful Club lounge overlooking the city on the 43rd floor.
Decent place. Nothing special but right in the center. Elevators take ages here to go up/down so plan accordingly. Have waited 15 minutes one time for an elevator.
Normally I would never suggest to get Pad Thai at a North American thai restaurant, but this is the best Pad Thai I've had outside of Thailand. Order to-go for fastest service -- can get busy.
In need of a renovation to bring up to Park Hyatt standard but nonetheless a nice place to stay in Yorkville. Quiet city center oasis.
Decent food court below -- this mall should have everything you ever need.
Good make-your-own pizzas, all at one price. Add as many toppings as you want. Good quick restaurant for fast service.
Take the ferry over here and spend a day -- really nice place to relax and best city view.
Some of the best superfood salads and smoothies. They rotate the menu -- highly recommend for lunch or dinner if you need something quick and healthy!
One of the best markets -- come hungry. Go downstairs and get the eggplant parmigiana sandwich from the Italian sandwich stand. Also good selection of peameal bacon sandwiches.
Amazing pedestrian only zone. Nice shops to wander around. Take the tram here from the city center. It's only 10-15 minutes.
Really good Chinatown -- spend an afternoon wandering up and down the streets. Surprisingly good Vietnamese food here as well.
City hall is here -- and the famous Toronto sign. In the winter this has an ice rink.
Across from the Sheraton -- nice place to stay. Make sure to get a Club room floor-- these are renovated where last time I stayed the normal rooms are not.
Classic Canadian poutine chain and also open late to grab some grub after the bars.
In the summer time there are pop-up vendors here. Really nice place to sit outside and get some food.
Really interesting place. All waiters are blind and you eat in complete darkness. New sensory experience and really worth a visit. Make a reservation.
Arguably the only green space in Toronto city center. Next to the campus and it's a nice retreat from the concrete jungle.
One of my favorite places. Lots of prepared food options (all delicious, sushi to juices to salads to pizza to burgers to salad bar) to choose from and the grocer here has just about everything.
Tiny sushi restaurant but excellent quality. Really good crispy tuna. Make a reservation if you can -- the place is small.
Guilty pleasure. Massive fried chicken breasts and delicious seasoning.
Nice view but removed from the city center and hard to access via metro. I would stay in the city center until the rooms get a refresh.
Best way to get between the city center and the airport. Get a Presto card to tap on/off. Trains come every 15 minutes.
Harry Potter themed bar. Neat place. Out of the way but if you're over here and a Harry Potter fan, this place is sure to please. Really friendly but come early as it fills up fast.
Innovative Asian. One of the best places in Toronto for modern, asian fine-dining.
One of the classic fine dining establishments in Toronto. Can't go wrong here.
Asian/Jamaican fusion. Really interesting combinations and always delicious. A must if you are in Kensington market.
Interesting joint. You can pay a flat fee to pay an unlimited number of games. Very clean and well maintained. Decent food too. Could spend a whole afternoon here (they have Catan!).
Really inventive ice cream. They have great combos. Not cheap but good portions -- bring a friend and share.
Get 25% sugar in your drinks or else it'll be way too sweet. Highly recommend the lemon tea with aloe if it's hot outside. Really refreshing.
