They say it's French-inspired Chinese food, but I say it's out of this world! You've got to try their deep-fried watermelon with pork crisps. Sounds disgusting tastes *delicious*. And I don't even like Chinese food. Reservations recommended - especially on weekends.

Great chicken. Roast, baked, in a salad... all delish. But really the best is their amazing salads. A *full* meal in a bowl, healthy and mouth-watering (I can't even finish their small bowl).

Drinks & Nightlife
This is a tapas bar with great cocktails and an amazing interior. It's very busy most nights of the week, but the wait is worth it. The tapas are quite authentic Spanish fare and the wine is delicious!

Sightseeing
About a 10-15 minute walk away, this is the best funky, artsy, amazing neighbourhood in town. You can find everything you could think of to buy from little shops and stalls here. From fresh trout to second-hand jeans. People watching at one of the cafes is also a great past time!

Parks & Nature
The Toronto Islands are like a magical vacation-land just a short ferry-ride away from the downtown core. Sculpted park land, an amusement park, wide sandy beaches, playgrounds, an artist retreat and a few great restaurants (as well as many snack bars and bar bars) make this a great day out for any one. I suggest renting bikes and riding down to the ferry and then across the entire set of islands for the day.

This is one of a large chain of pharmacies. This chain has everything from beauty to supplies to milk to prescription drugs. There is a branch much closer at Markham and College, but for some reason the Airbnb map isn't letting me designate it.
