JUST BACK FROM...TORONTO

The adorable miniature displays complete with holiday music in the windows of The Bay

A massive lit reindeer inside Eaton Centre

A great display of goodies from the talented chefs at the Intercontintal Yorkville

A display of golden bottles of truffle oil at St. Lawrence Market

Possible the best (and hottest) mustard we have tasted. There is a real depth of flavour with these mustards (they come in a variety of flavours) and are a requisite to any charcuterie board.

Upstairs, featured produce, butchers, cheese mongers, seafood stalls, and food kiosks

More beautiful produce

Victorian carolers just steps from the market. They were very talented.

The Gladstone hotel's (Queen Street) bar. This unique restored Victorian hotels features art throughout the space where each hotel room is designed by a different artist- very cool.

An amazing meal at George restaurant. It was a full house when CSL visited, waiters rushed up and down the restaurant, and the open kitchen was bustling with activity. Chef Lorenzo Loseto creates dazzling plates with ingenuity and well balanced flavours. Each dish is completely thought through and unique.

Breakfast delights at The Fairmont Royal York. Boy is this hotel busy at holiday time.

Dining at The library bar, this very talented musician lent a serene cool atmosphere with Spanish tinged guitar. Loved it!

After CSL picked up the two awards at the Caribbean Tourism Awards (see above for more), the team decided to spend a few days in the city. The holiday season was just beginning with a mild chill in the air. It was nice to see Toronto during this time, and the hospitality of our friends at: The Fairmont Royal York, Intercontinental Yorkville and Gladstone hotels was much appreciated. Can't wait to return.
