A quick history of Toronto’s tastiest event
The original Taste of the Danforth saw some 5,000 visitors attend, and two days of on-again, off-again rain. Only 23 restaurants participated in the inaugural festival, but each provided an eclectic mix of cuisines and spectacular “tastes” to enjoy. Today, the festival is held in August and attracts more than a million people from Ontario, Quebec and the north USA. Mississauga car hire travelers come for the food and stay for the entertainment and friendly atmosphere. Every year the festival gets bigger and better than the last, but don’t take TransCanada’s word for it. Reserve your Mississauga car hire vehicle today and check it out first hand!
Greektown is a year-round attraction
Greektown on the Danforth boasts one of the highest concentrations of restaurants per kilometere in the world. There’s simply no better place to go when you’re feeling hungry! Mississauga car hire travelers will also find an eclectic mix of boutiques and speciality shops in the area, each sporting its own unique stock of European fashions and designer labels. Mississauga car hire travelers will also discover a vibrant nightlife in Toronto’s Greek quarters. Popular nightclubs and bars provide Mississauga car hire travelers with plenty of opportunities to dance after enjoying dinner.
What you’ll taste at the festival
So, enough about Greektown – what about the food?! Mississauga car hire travelers will enjoy some of the very best Greek cuisine at the Taste of the Danforth, including favourites like pork, chicken and beef souvlaki. Roast quail is also a popular dish along with specialties like saganaki (flaming cheese) and fresh Greek salads. Mississauga car hire travelers can enjoy seated dining at one of the many restaurants, but TransCanada recommends picking-up small doggie bags to snack on as you walk. This way, you’ll get to enjoy multiple meals, without making yourself overly full.
Enjoy a glass of Greece’s finest
