Great for a cosy dinner. All ingredients made in-house except for the cheese! Great wine list. They also do a delicious brunch on weekends. There's also a cute wine bar attached to F'Amelia if you'd just like a drink.

If you're into running, there are great trails that start at Riverdale Farm, 300m from our house, and extend for 20+ km. So awesome if you're training. We'd be happy to provide additional information if you'd like.

Getting Around

Actually part of Toronto's bike share system. There's now a closer location right outside of Jetfuel, on Parliament Street between Winchester and Carlton, but the Airbnb map doesn't show it. You need a credit card to use the bikes. Bring your bike helmet!
