The Hole in the Wall might be one of the coziest restaurants in Toronto to grab some oysters. Better yet, make sure to go there on a Tuesday to take advantage of the buck-a-shuck deal from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. You won’t regret it as there’s also a nice selection of craft beers to wash all that oyster deliciousness down.

While Montecito’s Wine Wednesdays is a definite treat, the restaurant’s Thursday deal is just as popular. Starting at 5 p.m. upstairs in By The Glass, oysters are only $1 with any purchase of a bottle of wine. Unlike other wine bars, the sophisticated spot also promises to have a set markup of $30 on every bottle of wine. Looks like oysters aren’t the only deal here.

Patios are the lifeblood of summer in the 6ix, because the warm weather comes and goes in the blink of an eye. While some prefer the people watching of a street patio, the true hidden gems of Toronto come in the form of a rooftop patio – where you get to feel like you’ve actually escaped the city.
