Recommendations for tourist this weekend
My husband and I will be visiting this weekend for two nights from rural PA, outside of Erie. We moved here from Philly and miss the Philly food scene. We’re looking for delicious food in Toronto. Big catch - I don’t eat any seafood. My husband loves it, especially sushi & grilled octopus. We love Asian, especially Thai, French, Italian, Neapolitan pizza. No Indian. We like casual spots and hole in the wall places. Would like to have a nice dinner with romantic atmosphere - dark with good music, intimate space with an approachable menu. Not looking for anything real fancy or expensive - I don’t usually go for pre-fixed menus bc I’m too picky and won’t like every course.
As I’m researching restaurants in Toronto, I’m feeling overwhelmed and having trouble finding what I’m looking for. A lot of what I’m seeing recommended looks kind of stuffy and too fancy for us.
We’re staying at the Marriott at Rogers Center. I’d like to go to Comedy Bar or another place to see a comedy set. I’m getting a tattoo at Top Studio, which looks like it’s in Downtown at 265 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M5V 1Z4, Canada.
I’d love any other recommendations for must see or must eat things while we’re here. We like checking out coffee shops, gelaterias, dessert spots, and cool/unique/sexy bars. We aren’t big drinkers but will get one drink if the ambiance is right.
Montreal is my favorite city I’ve visited so far. We enjoyed Joe Beef, Drogheria Fine (gnocchi window), Furco, Velvet Underground to name a few.
Only two nights this time but we’re only a 3 hour drive away so I’m sure we’ll be back again. Thanks in advance for your help!
