My trip to Toronto - last few days

Day 6 

Saturday was one of my favourite days whilst staying in Toronto . Started the day by visiting the renowned St Lawrence Market . 

This place was so cool with foods from all around the globe as well as locally produced . Canadians eat a lot of crispy bacon , being used to back bacon it was nice to try a canadian specialty Peameal bacon. 

After breakfast we headed down Sherbourne as we were going to visit the Aquarium 

 I just had to get myself a souvenir so what better than heading to the Maple Leafs store for this Lapul Jersey .

 

Absolutely loved my afternoon at Ripleys Aquarium , it has one of the largest underwater tunnels in the world and to see so many cool fish and sharks is something I will never forget. 

It's definitely a place I would recommend visiting if you're ever In toronto 

After a busy afternoon we headed back to the apartment where I was let into a surprise that had been arranged for me . 

I would be going for dinner with two Michelin star chefs from Canada's masterchef. Claudio Aprile and Alvin Yeung. This was really exciting for me and was so lovely of them to treat me to dinner . The restaurant Cluny is located in the distillery which is a cool area with shops bars and restaurants .

Due to the company I held we were treated like royalty . Alvin ordered every starter on the menu for us all to share . I'm usually a picky eater but not to let everyone down I tried almost everything.

For my main course I decided to play it safe and order the same as Alvin afterall a chef would know best. 

This was quite possibly some of the best lamb I had ever tasted in my life . So definitely made the right choice .

For dessert we were treated to what I can only describe as a display rather than our own individual . Very sweet and delicious 

And I do love Macaroons :).

After dinner and I was mocked for my drink of choice (southern comfort , lemonade and fresh lime) we decided to carry on the evening and go to a bar . Claudio was driving and I got to go in his brandnew Range Rover Supercharger which is now going on my "cars I want to own" list 

We headed down to the very swanky Montage in Yorkville . I had a really great evening laughing and meeting some really interesting people, made some friends forever.

 

Day 7 

Best hangover cure??? some greasy food . 

Sunday morning we headed to the Toronto Food Truck convention by the lake . Food trucks isn't really a thing in the uk but in Canada it's serious business 

 

I was starting to get a bit sad as I knew my trip was coming to an end  . After a morning at the convention I was taken to the beach. It's amazing that 5 minutes out of the busy streets of downtown Toronto you can be on a beach.

Had such an amazing last afternoon 

It really was one of the best experiences of my life . Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and made so many new friends. I was upset to be leaving . I will definitely be heading back over soon tho :) . 

Sorry it's took so long to finish these blogs , I have been super busy . But hope you enjoy sharing some of my experiences .
