Johnny G's- Great prices. Great Food! Perfect if you have a craving for breakfast any time. Or enjoy a fine selection of home-made sandwiches you wont find this good anywhere.

The Pear Tree- Definitely a favourite of ours and many of our bed and breakfast guests. The setting is elegant, but casual dress and a fun times are welcome. Prices are reasonable and the menu is diverse, touches of Canadian, Cajun, French, Italian and Vegetarian are sure to have something for everyone. The service is some of the best in the city and you can be sure that every dressing, pie and bread is made right on the premises.

House on Parliament- Beware... you wont eat it all! There is no question that you get every penny's worth here. Everything is bigger from nachos to steaks! A relaxed, pub like atmosphere and outdoor seating house a fantastic variety of starters and entreés. Make sure you go with an empty stomach!

Riverdale Farm Riverdale Farm is one of Toronto's special treasures that is sure to be a fun visit for out door lovers of all ages. A short beautiful walk through Cabbagetown, the farm is an ideal attraction loved by our guests at Banting House Inn .

Certainly the most unique draw of the farm are the collection of animals for you to interact with and enjoy both outside and in several buildings. Cows, horses, donkey, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, rabbits, and cats may be seen along the way in barns and outdoor paddocks as you stroll the grounds.

Allan Gardens- At the end of Homewood Avenue, a short walk from our downtown guest house spanning blocks between Carlton, Shuter, Gerard and Jarvis, is Allan Gardens. Century old trees and plants await in this 12 acre Toronto Park loaded with extras.

In 1858 George William Allan, an outstanding figure in Toronto, gave a 5 acre piece of land to the Toronto Horticultural Society under the condition that the land be used for the city’s future botanical gardens.

A few years later the City of Toronto purchased surrounding land from Allan, leasing it to the Horticultural Society under the condition that the entire park be free of charge and accessible by the public.

Toronto grew over the years and so did the park. Gas lights were changed to electric, new plants and buildings were added. Though fire destroyed the original conservatory and buildings in 1902, that lead to the construction of the McCallum Palm House in 1909 which is still standing today.

Cabbagetown Home Self Walking Tour- Scattered around the blocks that comprise Old Cabbagetown are hefty remnants of a time that was. A self guided map tour and marked descriptions of Victorian Homes built in the 1800s and early 1900s is a wonderful way to get a feel for the neighbourhood, and some exercise at the same time! We have the maps available in our bed and breakfast lobby.
