    • Torontonians outside of a Business Meeting dress very casual. A lot of people think nothing of coming out of the gym in sweats and T Shirts and walking down the street to a restaurant. Visitors can dress however they want and no problems will be met. Only exception are business meetings and a very few smart nightspots where sloppy dress will keep you in line.

    Torontonians do not generally have good fashion sense and you will see many fashion crimes committed on our streets..do not laugh too much at us..it is just our Canadian easygoing anything goes casual lifestyle.

    • General tip for anyone visiting Toronto and is wondering how much to tip.
    Our service people make very low wages here and expect the tips to survive. Almost all Canadians will tip 15% on all restaurant meals (before taxes). Calculation is easy as the combined taxes on all meals is 15%.
