Tipping: 10%+ tips to be expected.
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Whenever you sit down to dine, you'd expect to tip at least 10% or more. For most places 10% - 13% is enough. 15% if you're feeling generous. 20% for classier restaurants.

    Don't feel pressured to give really big tips (you're a tourist afterall!), and only give a generous tip when the service is exceptional.

    Language: Toronto Slang
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • The following are some slang you may encounter while in Toronto (and in Ontario in general).

    "Loonie" - Our $1 coin. It has a loon on one side.

    "Toonie" - Our $2 coin. Like two loonies.

    "T.O." - Pronounced "Tee-Oh". Stands for "Toronto, Ontario", or "TOronto". It's the subject of many debates. :)

    "The Rocket" - Endearing slang for the Toronto Transit Commision (TTC). "Ride the Rocket" generally means to take the TTC.

    That's all I can think of at the moment. There are probably more, but hard to think of if you're a local. :)
