DK Travel : Toronto

Torontonians are justifiably proud of their vibrant and exciting metropolis. Canada’s largest city and its financial hub, Toronto has a tremendous amount to offer, including a thriving theater, music, and arts scene, top museums, world-class restaurants and shops, a beautiful lakeside location with lovely beaches, and streets safe and inviting to walk in. Its cultural diversity – over 90 ethnic groups are represented in Toronto – enhances the urban experience.

Rol San

In the heart of China Town, this low cost chinese restaurant a local jem. While it doesn't look like much, and the service is a little questionable, the food is outstanding, especially its special of "Crispy Beef," one of the many dishes that leads to this restaurant being full every day. For the late night partiers, this place is also open late into the morning Fri-Sun.
Roncesvalles

Toronto’s Polish community lays claim to this west-end neighborhood. Its heart, Roncesvalles Ave between Howard Park Ave and Queen St W, is lined with great Polish delis and bakeries (try the jam donuts). Increasingly gentrifying as the ethnic population ages and moves on and young professionals move in, the area still has a workingclass feel and Polish is still spoken in shops and on the street.
Roots

Quality sportswear, casual clothes, and leather goods for every member of the family.

You can easily spend a day exploring the trails, either on foot or bicycle (see Rouge Park).
Roy Thomson Hall

The concert hall’s innovative design ensures that everyone in the audience is within 100 ft (30 m) of the stage (see Roy Thomson Hall). It is home to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (which performs September to June) and Toronto Mendelssohn Choir, and also hosts many guest artists.
