 Dining with a view |
301 Front Street West Toronto, ON M5V 2T6 Canada +1 416 362 5411 http://www.cntower.ca/ |
If the measure of a view is height above the ground, then you can't top the truly astonishing panorama here. Gently revolving about two thirds of the way up the 550-meter CN Tower, you can enjoy breathtaking views and award-winning cuisine. Add flawless service and you can understand why this restaurant is booked weeks in advance. Canadian influences dominate the menu with choices such as Roast Rack of Lamb with Braised Leeks and Pork Chops in Smoked Barbecue Sauce. You can also choose from over 400 varieties of wine.

Located south of Highway 401 on Yonge Street, this former stone cutter's cottage has been transformed into one of the best restaurants in the city, specializing in French country dining.

Centrefield seats |
279 Yonge St Toronto, ON M5B 1N8 Canada +1 416 362 3636 http://www.hardrock.com/locati... |
No other franchise can lay claim to overlooking centre-right field at the Rogers Centre (home of the Toronto Blue Jays). A baseball enthusiast's dream, you can eat and watch the game from some of the best seats in the house. They're $30 per, but $23 acts as a credit towards your bill. Inside, legendary blues guitar player Stevie Ray Vaughan's autographed Stratocaster hangs over the pool table—just one of many pieces of rock 'n' roll memorabilia. If you're on Yonge St, there's another Hard Rock across from Eaton Centre. Review © 2007, Wcities |

As its name suggests, this restaurant is known for its incredible city view. Located on the 51st floor of the Manulife Centre, the exclusive dining spot caters to the business and hotel crowd who don't mind paying extra for the experience.
