Sightseeing
The Distillery was restored and developed into a pedestrian-only cultural “Victorian Industrial chic village”, opening in May 2003 as Toronto’s new centre for Art, Culture and Entertainment. Pigcat and I strolled along the brick lined promenades and European piazza-style squares in what the Globe and Mail calls “a picture postcard draw”. (Edible Feast). Highly suggest Cluney Restaurant and Balzacs Coffee.

Pellatt made his money in many endeavors, including railroads,land and as the founder of the Toronto Electric Light Company in 1883. Pellatt was a great philanthropist and could have used some of the millions he gave away later in life since he died with very little.Casa Loma has to be seen to believe and you can expect to spend 3-4 hours touring. There is a nice café on the back verandah in the shadows of the towers, overlooking the gardens and the skyline of Toronto.
