Toronto - A quick weekend getaway

items It would be a jammed packed weekend if you visited all these spots but it would be a great weekend!

Arguably one of my most favorite Saturday night dinner spots. What did I order on the last visit? The Tomahawk steak with roasted cabbage and potatoes.
Prime Seafood Palace
If you're looking for a luxury hotel in the city - this is one of my favorites. The rooms are well appointed with top notch service. Bring your running shoes for a quick run in their gym.
Shangri-La Toronto
Located in the lobby of the Shangri La - book an appointment at Leah Alexandra for a permanent bracelet. Select from gold, rose gold or silver. There's so many different options at various price points. It's the perfect way to celebrate a special occ...
Leah Alexandra
Stop by Friday afternoon after you check into the hotel for happy hour. Their simple tapas menu offers lots of great snacks before dinner. Try the hummus! It's one of my favorites.
Melrose On Adelaide
Book this spot for a late dinner and drinks. It's located right around the corner from Melrose. Just be careful - their portions are insanely large. 2 can share their schnitzel dish! Assuming they're both hungry. 3 - 4 if it's just a snack.
Town Crier
This is an iconic landmark that is a quick 15 minute walk from Shangri La. Pop by Saturday afternoon for a quick retail therapy.
CF Toronto Eaton Centre
Another iconic Toronto spot for some outdoor skating before retail therapy. Located next door to the Eaton Centre for easy access.
Nathan Phillips Square
Stop by Sunday afternoon after check out for brunch before you leave Toronto. Their eggs benny - chefs kiss.

Just one block north of the hotel - grab a coffee and stroll outside for some fresh air and retail therapy. You'll find everything from Aritzia, Brandy Melville, to Aldo. There's also plenty of local shops and eateries along the way.
Shopping in Queen West | Destination Toronto
This is a Queen Street West institution. If you skipped out on Sunday brunch, pop by Queen Mother and enjoy their broad range of menu items. There's everything from burgers to Asian inspired dishes. My favorite is their Pad Thai!
Queen Mother Cafe
Depending on timing (and if you're into NBA) it's easy to go and catch a Sunday afternoon game before leaving the city.

If you have an hour or two to fill, I highly suggest stopping by the RGO. Their curated art collection is absolutely amazing.
Art Gallery of Ontario
Weather permiting, I always suggest if you have an hour or two, pop down to the waterfront for a stroll. There's lots of eateries and cafes. Lake Ontario is beautiful.
Harbourfront
When I'm traveling I still try to eat as healthy as I can. I like to stop by the Marche at the Eaton Centre for a quick salad between retail therapy and skating.
Marché | Restaurants with homemade dishes prepared with care
Short on time but need a quick skin refresh? Book their 30 minute skin booster. You'll need to catch an Uber (about 10 minutes) but it's well worth the trip!
SKIN 30 - Korean Spa Toronto - Facial & Massage
This inner city park is a quiet santuary from the hustle and bustle of big city life. In the summer time, it's a great spot to bring a iced coffee and blanket and lay outside to catch some sun.
