"If you’ve got kids and are looking for a great brunch/lunch, head to Ricarda’s on a Sunday. Enjoy the all you can eat jazz brunch, which is complete with a live band, Kids Play Zone and bouncy castle."

"Toronto’s go-to place for vodka tastings in a Russian-inspired atmosphere. Head there on a Friday night and you might enjoy an Aerialist show!"

"An Italian eatery great for kids. While you’re waiting, they’ll stay busy in the play room, playing dominoes or Go Fish while you take Instagram pictures of all the amazing décor."

"Part of the Oliver & Bonacini restaurant group, located in a prime spot near all of the TIFF area's action. Sit and enjoy a casual lunch or if you’re in a hurry, pick from their grab & go counter."

"Great Cuban food and cocktails in a trendy area of the city. Ask to sit in the back room if the front is busy."

"A stylish French restaurant with an incredible raw bar and great selection of cocktails. No matter what you end up choosing from the menu, be sure to end the night with the Ziggy Stardust Disco Egg."
