TORONTO BOUND

August 2, 2007

Blow off steam in the Big Smoke with these hot destinations.

sleep
The stunning Le
Germain
is fantastic for business with its free breakfast café, huge
modern rooms and brand new rooftop putting green. Fore! 30 Mercer St.,
Toronto, 416-345-9500, www.germaintoronto.com/en/accueil.asp

eat
After shopping Bloor, decompress over lunch at
the airy Jamie
Kennedy at the Gardiner
atop the newly renovated Gardiner ceramics
museum. We recommend the striploin with fingerlings and haricots verts,
and the deconstructed ribeye sandwichwith wine pairings, of course.
Lunch daily; dinner Friday. 111 Queens Park (off Bloor), Toronto,
416-362-1957, www.jkkitchens.com

drink
In the financial district at happy hour? Slip
into the pretty side patio at Ki,
where excellent and inventive sushi (the softshell crab roll is a must),
sake cocktails with Japanese mint and Bay Street brokers make for a
potent mix. 181 Bay St., Toronto, 416-308-5888, www.kijapanese.com

shop
The world’s first Umbra
Concept Store
is a vision in hot pink, with its massive façade and
designers working right amongst the wares on the second level. Great
little designy gifts like the everpopular bungee
collection
and Slumbra sheet sets. 165 John St. (off Queen),
Toronto, 416-599-0088, www.umbra.com
