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.

Vineland Estates Winery

One of the most attractive wineries in the region, this vineyard has an 1857 stone carriage house; two excellent restaurants, one headed by chef Mark Picone (see Mark Picone at Vineland Estates Winery); and guided tours and tastings.
Wall and Chairs

Curved walls intersected by a triangle of three chairs echo the severe beauty of city towers.
Wayne Gretzky’s

Pub fare, a kids’ menu, and, of course, a hockey memorabilia decor.
West Café

Warm and cozy, thanks to a fireplace and numerous rooms, though it can get crowded. Salads, sandwiches, pastas, and desserts are dished up 24/7.
West Queen West

A neighborhood of eclectic shops, cutting-edge galleries, and funky cafés (see West Queen West Art & Design District).
West Queen West Art & Design District

As artists move farther west on Queen Street to more affordable quarters between Bathurst Street and Gladstone Avenue, so too do the independent and experimental art galleries and the clothing shops showcasing funky Canadian designers. The abundance of antique and used furniture, trendy kitchenware, and off-beat and vintage clothing shops guarantees interesting finds (see West Queen West).
Westin Harbour Castle

With a location on Lake Ontario right beside the ferry docks, yet close to downtown, this high-rise hotel offers stunning views from its ample rooms. With its pool, fitness room, and outdoor tennis court, along with spacious meeting rooms and full business service, it feels like a resort smack in the middle of the city.
Westin Prince Toronto

Set in a large park northeast of downtown, this hotel is an oasis of comfort. Its several bars and restaurants – including Katsura (see Katsura) – handsome rooms, and a business center explain this hotel’s popularity.
Wheat Sheaf Tavern

Toronto’s oldest tavern dates to about 1848. Enjoy chicken wings and a pint to TV sports or on the deck.
William Ashley China

Fine crystal, china, and table-ware, exquisite gifts, and expert staff ensure that you won’t leave without some choice purchase wrapped in elegant gold paper.
