I heart Ward's Island - Part Deux

 Back again but this time for dinner. We had burgers, nachos, icea tea and a watermelon slushie

Must be my Toronto Island IONA

I heart Ward's Island - Part 1

Taking the afternoon ferry to Toronto Island from downtown is one of my favourite things to do in Toronto on a summer day right after work. I did not discover the true beauty and enchantment of Ward's Island until this summer despite having gone bike riding there a few summers ago. There is always something new to explore.

Our lucky island cat who lives in the blue and yellow cottage is always spotted lounging outside


The 262 residential homes on the island are governed by the Toronto Islands Residential Community Stewardship Act and homes can only be acquired via the lottery system.

The island shrines are interesting and I bet they each have a story to tell

Brunch at the Island Cafe

I had the perfect Sunday brunch on Ward's Island at the Island Cafe. I had Jena's breakfast tart which consists of homemade pastry with seasonal vegetables - cheese and egg quiche served with green salad and fresh fruit. I also had a Shirley Temple - lemonade, grenadine, watermelon and sparkling water. 

 Esther, the little spy, wanted to join us but was tied by the flowers because dogs are not allowed on the patio
More Island adventures to come - I can't wait to go back to the Island Cafe for Wednesday Pizza Night & Friday dinner and a concert.
