Lusso Restaurant and Lounge on Harbourfront Toronto

How great it must be to enjoy a nice hot summer when we're on mat leave! Oh right we're in summer but where is the sun then? Anyways the weather is depressing enough so let's talk about those great patios where we could go if there was some sun... Lusso, owned by the Fornaio chain, is one of them. You won't miss it as it is, in my opinion, the prettiest patio on Harbourfront and it offers a beautiful view on Toronto islands, the ferries and the lake. Again not the ideal place for babies but the staff will be happy to help. However those nice tables and benches on the upper patio are not really appropriate for strollers so you will have to stay on the lower deck.
As per the food, lots to choose from, including healthy dishes like a tomato with vegetarian stuffing. The caprese (tomatoes + mozzarella) is nothing italian but the chowder is well served with real shrimps and seafood.
And if you go on a chilly day they have those pink blankets to cover you up and keep you warm. Toronto may not have the best harbour front in the world and everybody knows that but Lusso is a good place for lunch or cocktails and dream, about those past days where we could spend hours and hours on a patio, before your baby wakes up and reminds you that those days are over!!
I am not sure if they have their own website yet but you can take a look at their sister website http://www.ilfornello.com/
