Food Scene

An updated diner with classic diner charm but modernized slightly. Expect to wait for a table during brunch times but the food is delicious and filling. Wouldn't recommend going here with more than 2-4 people in your group. There's a cafe nearby called Ezra's Pound if you need somewhere to wait.

The Harbourfront centre is situated right at Lake Ontario so it's a nice place to enjoy a view of the water in summertime. The Centre itself often has arts events, theatre, and other entertainment for tourists and locals. Take a walk or bike ride along the boardwalk, and enjoy the nearby restaurants. You can often see planes lifting off from Billy Bishop airport just across the lake. In the wintertime, there is an icerink, and a little restaurant just off of the rink that sells hot chocolate and snacks.
