Graffiti AlleyQueen Street is one of Toronto’s major spines – but it’s the western end that gets interesting and hip, if awards for “trendiest neighbourhood” are anything to go by. Queen Street West is where boutiques selling things such as vapes, tattoos and vintage clothing can be found, plus there’s street art for those who wish to venture off down the alleyways.

One of the best restaurants in the city, They do take reservations but also leave some seating for walk-ins. If no reservation, try going at 6 pm or past 9 pm. Bar and kitchen are open late; if you get a seat at the bar you will be amazed at the mixologists, drinks are amazing! Food is tapas style, small dishes but full of flavours.
