Impressive is the Word: The Vibo Restaurant



In the great city of Toronto, there are many restaurants. However, almost none can top the mouthwatering authentic Italian dishes in a casual, more "hip" environment of the Vibo. This Toronto restaurant's executive chef, David D'Aprile, masterfully takes you back to little Italy with succulent steaks, fresh seafood and very flavourful pastas. These creations are all topped with the finest sauces and each have their own little flairs.
Personally, I ordered a signature Veal Milanese, which was a portion of tender veal with a bit of Fontina cheese and covered with Tomato ragu. This elegant dish can without doubt, compare to the rest of them.
Another unbeatable part of this five-star Toronto restaurant is its "great wine list" as described by toronto.com.
All in all, this five-star fine dining spot is great for young people who are looking for a trendy, sophisticated or romantic place to have a meal. Its live entertainment and dazzling atmosphere make the Vibo perfect for any occasion.

The Hockey Fan's Dream: Wayne Gretzky's


With memorabilia from the Great One scattering the entire restaurant, Gretzky's has an atmosphere that you won't want to miss.
Its cozy sports feel is great for any occasion, whether a birthday for that hockey fanatic or a retirement party for a sporty loved one.
Start with some flavourful Honey, Lime and Cilantro Mussel or the original Grandma Gretzky perogies. Then, move on to Gretzky's Famous Meatloaf, made from a Gretzky family recipe or a plate of Jumbo Tiger Shrimp Linguini with roasted plum tomatoes and balsamic cream saunce. Of course, you can also order signature pizzas, steaks and sandwiches. Last but not least, top it all off with some chewy Stone Mill Cookies served with rich french vanilla ice cream and chocolate fudge.
But whatever you order from the expansive menu you'll have a great time touring a block of history.

The Definition of Tall: The CN Tower


What better way to start this blog than with a post about the tallest free-standing land structure in the world, the CN Tower. This amazing work of art looms over the rest of the Toronto skyline, in its humble place on Front Street.
Standing over 1800 feet high, nobody can question its spectacular views from the heart of downtown and people who have been to this landmark can only rave about what they see. In fact, on a clear day, you can see not only Canadian soil but also the United States.
As well, the tremendous glass floor and souvenir shop packed with things will keep the whole family busy for quite a while.
Moreover, the dining is fantastic. If you enjoy fine dining, you will be in for a real treat because not only does the 360 Restaurant offer superb cuisine, it also rotates for the perfect view of everything. This is one memory you simply must have.
On the other hand, for those who want a more casual experience, there is the Horizon's Cafe, which still offers a dazzling view from the indoor observation deck.

If you are considering going to the tower, I recommend that you try to find the nearest subway station as there is a stop directly in front of the CN Tower (Union Station).
Lastly, I recommend that you purchase the Total Tower Experience for around $30.00: This is what I bought and I must say, if I'd missed out on even one of those views I don't know what I would do.
Looking at photos is not enough, you just have to see it for yourself. No wonder 2 million people make a visit to the CN Tower each year.
