By far this is the best place in Toronto, from there you can see the sublime and the vastness of Lake Ontario and its beautiful islands .

Henry's

Whether you're catching a show, or just enjoying the weather, there's plenty to see here. Don't miss out on some of the great photo opportunities from street vendors and city wildlife as well !

King Blue Condos

With outdoor venues, theatres , galleries , even an outdoor skating rink , a unique and vibrant cultural destination at the heart of the waterfront . Best of all? Many of their events are free! Read more

Great place to take a walk especially if you're on a date ;) there's lots of restaurants with patios so you can enjoy a drink and take in the view

TOTweetFest

Go early if you want to buy the more popular Swedish items at the market in the Brigatine Room as they sell out. Not too early if you want to try the Gloog (not before 11am)!

Snotty people here but some have good customer service and really the bike lane should have been re-routed someplace else cause it's tricky navigating train tracks , bike lane, car lane and pedestrians

The food court on the second floor has a nice balcony where you can enjoy a nice view of the lake while eating but there's very limited tables
