Bampot Bohemian House of Tea & Board Games
Situated in Harbord Village, this teahouse offers far much more than a wide selection of teas and board games. This Mediterranean grub provides its visitors with a sense of peacefulness and comfort. Upon entrance, the staff asks you to remove your shoes, which makes you feel at home. The darker lighting and the scent of burning incense also contribute to the pleasant ambiance.
This is a great place to meet up with friends, bring a date or even just relax by yourself.

Toronto Music Garden
This whimsical and enchanting garden is hidden away in Toronto’s harbourfront. These swirling paths will take you through gorgeous greenery as you enjoy listening to live musical performances (during the warmer months).
Fun fact: The design of this park was inspired by Bach’s First Suite for Unaccompanied Cello and each dance movement within the suite corresponds to a different part of the garden.

Located in a quiet residential road off Broadview Avenue, this lookout is the perfect spot to get a view of the Toronto city landscape. The giant painting of an astrological wheel on the ground of the lookout adds to its dreamy charm.
This spot is great for watching the sunset and beholding the city views — making this lookout perfect for a late-night date.
