Serving delightful light fare—soups, sandwiches, pasta—this secluded café is a popular stop for day-trippers visiting the Toronto Islands. On summer days, the lakeside patio is packed with patrons enjoying a glass of wine, a lovely lunch or a tea from the extensive tea list. Ferry schedules to and from Wards Island are available through the café's website.

This lush, green escape is a short stroll from the Ward Island ferry dock on Toronto Island, nestled between a lagoon and Lake Ontario. With two patios (Lakeside Patio and Algonquin Patio — Beer Garden) it’s the perfect setting for a candle-lit dinner or casual drink with friends. Hours are weather permitting during the slow season so call to be sure. The Rectory is also bike and dog-friendly.

The Rectory Cafe offers these services: restaurant.
