Downtown Toronto is home to a diverse restaurant scene.
King Street in Toronto is home to
Canada's Walk of Fame and will guide you to some of the most famous attractions in the city, including the Hockey Hall of Fame, Roy Thomson Hall (home to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra), Princess of Wales Theatre and the Toronto Sun Building. A stroll along King Street is a culinary adventure, with an incredible variety of restaurants that are sure to please everyone.
Craft Burger
Craft Burger is elevating the culinary status of the popular "fast food" burger. You can get the classic burger with cheese, ketchup and pickles, or you can experience the bold flavors of Craft's specialties, such as Craft Spicy with caramelized onions and spicy chipotle mayonnaise. Another favorite is Craft Red, a beef patty topped with gorgonzola cheese, roasted red peppers and rosemary garlic mayonnaise. Looking for something other than fries? Try Poutine, a Canadian invention consisting of cheese curds topped with beef gravy.
