Browsing and Sluicing in Toronto and the Niagara Peninsula
Jonathan Ray discovers that Canada’s most vibrant and global city is home to some exceptional restaurants and a vibrant cocktail culture with some of North America’s most exciting wines on its doorstep.
Toronto is an eight hour flight from London (and not even seven back) and is as entertaining a place to visit for a long weekend as New York or Chicago. There are trendy shops and boutiques, fine galleries and museums, a fantastic film festival and the coolest of cool jazz scenes. Best of all, there are some superb restaurants and the cocktail bars are among the most exciting and innovative it has been my pleasure to order a rum negroni in.
My Westjet flight from Gatwick is three hours late and I miss dinner with my date but even that can’t dampen my spirits; I’m in Toronto and I’m going to have a blast.
