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.

Steam Whistle Brewing

This railroad roundhouse now functions as a microbrewery. Tour the facilities, then sample the tasty results at the bar.
Stratford

Known worldwide for its Shakespeare festival, the city continues the theme of the bard with, among other things, a garden planted with every species named in his plays. Riverside parks are picnic-perfect; shops sell works by local artisans. Check out local history at Stratford-Perth Museum, and a fine example of High Victorian architecture – Perth County Court House (1887).
Sunnybrook Park

Encompassing shady Burke Ravine and two forests, this park provides respite from summer heat. Interpretive nature trails; riding stables; several sports fields; picnic tables and restaurant.
Sushi Island

This lovely Japanese restaurant draws sushi-lovers from all over the city with perhaps the freshest sashimi in town. Noodles, tempura , and hot pots are also favorites.
Sushi Kaji

Masterful chef Mitsuhiro Kaji creates the city’s premiere Japanese cuisine at this farwestend restaurant. There are two private rooms, but better to perch at the eight-seat sushi bar to enjoy the food-as-theater experience. Premium sakes are the perfect accompaniment to excellent – and generously portioned – sushi, sashimi , and creative cooked offerings (see Sushi Kaji).
Sushi Kaji

Set menu options – including the deluxe, chef’s choice omakase menu – present course after course of wonderful, complex Japanese creations balanced with simple, incredibly fresh, sashimi and sushi.
Susur

Wildly inventive Susur Lee is the city’s reigning chef. Put yourself in his capable hands by ordering the tasting menu, which, at a table of two or more, features different treatments of the same main ingredient. Don’t be surprised when the meal begins with the main course and works backwards – it’s a Susur trademark, as is his artistry mixing pan- Asian flavors. Minimalistic, elegant decor (see Susur).
Susur

Susur Lee’s menu surprises and delights; audaciously inventive pan-Asian flavors have earned him the crown of super-star chef. Two of the five tasting menus are vegetarian.
Sutton Place Hotel

This modern 33-floor hotel features upscale guestrooms, suites, and apartments, all beautifully appointed with fine antiques and original art. Its restaurant, Accents, offers continental cuisine.
Swan

A Formica-topped counter and reclaimed diner booths lend this bustling spot a 1950s feel, but the food is decidedly contemporary. Eggs are scrambled with smoked oysters and pancetta, sautéed spinach accompanies trout eggs benny. Excellent Americano coffee, but alas, no free refills.
