Just a block from our home, St. Lawrence Market is a place we’ve come to know (and taste) well - we’re there so often, some of the vendors know us by name. Charlie recommends the iconic peameal bacon (add egg & cheese) sandwich from Paddington’s Pump, a Toronto classic. Brooklyn’s pick? Fresh-shucked oysters from Mike’s Fish Market.
This warm, modern steak and seafood spot is a must-visit, not just because it’s one of Toronto’s best, but because it’s where we got engaged! Owned by celebrity chef Matty Matheson (yes, the one from The Bear), it combines beautiful design, incredible food, and the kind of cozy, intimate energy that made it the perfect place to say yes. If you’re a fan of The Bear or just love a great meal, this is a special spot we’d love to share with you.
Cobblestone streets and beautifully preserved heritage buildings make the Distillery District feel like you’ve stepped out of the city and into another world. We love to go every year for the Christmas Market, but it’s a favourite of ours year-round for its restaurants, patios, and one-of-a-kind shops. Don’t miss the French onion soup at Cluny’s Bistro or the spicy margaritas at El Catrin - trust us!
One of Toronto’s most eclectic and colorful neighborhoods, Kensington Market is the perfect spot to wander, snack, and shop for hidden gems. We love grabbing tacos from Seven Lives, matcha from Wu Wei Coffee and popping into vintage shops to dig for treasures. It’s a little chaotic, very cool, and full of personality - just the way we like it.
Bonus Celebration! We’re so excited to share that just two days (Thursday October 16th) before the wedding, our incredibly talented friend Elijah will be performing live! This isn’t just any concert, it’s a special night with someone we love, and we’d be thrilled to see some familiar faces in the crowd. Time: Location: Tickets:
