Fave food and drink spots in the hood
Cute watering hole with live music on certain evenings. They make a killer whiskey sour and have great small plates and burgers. Great ambiance and bar.

This is my fave spot to grab a coffee during the day and cocktail at night. This is a biased review because my husband is co-owner of this amazing natural wine/cocktail bar. It also has a great patio. They serve small bites as well.

We love the Junction. Less than a 10 minute walk from the house, you will find great brew pubs and restaurants on this Dundas strip. If you’re into beer, try Indie Ale House or take a walk to the brewery district to try a few brew pubs
