Historically a whiskey distillery, the Distillery District is an area that has been converted into a public venue that houses boutique shops, art galleries, and trendy restaurants. I always enjoy trips to the Distillery, which is easily accessible by the King St streetcar.
A national historic site, the Distillery also hosts events and campaigns for causes. In April, the venue supported the Daffodil Campaign against cancer and in June, Pride month.
I love the aesthetic of the Distillery. I’m partial to bricks—maybe it’s the warm colors—so I’m glad the developers didn’t go crazy with a modern look. Plus! There is art all over the Distillery (not just in the galleries), and they change these up from time to time, too.
Walking around is fun. I like entering stores that sell local or one-of-a-kind products, things that will remind me of a certain place or memory, and the shops are like that in the Distillery. There is a big Deciem store here, and it can get overwhelming to look at at all of those skin care products. (Research before entering!) As for food, my favorites are Madrina and Arvo Coffee.
The Distillery is, hands down, my favorite place in Toronto.
One of my favorite areas in Toronto! It’s so cute! Last time I was there, we had breakfast at Cacao 70 and it was so yummy!
I love Cacao 70! I usually get their s’mores I we like having my own little campfire. 😂
That sounds awesome. Last time I was there it was drizzly and cool so a campfire would have been perfect lol. Having the little fondue with my brunch was a treat too.
[…] everything. This place serves amazing drinks and also amazing food and it’s located in my favorite place in Toronto, the Distillery. This place probably the best pulpo we’ve had, and I am never disappointed when I come […]
