Down on Dockside Drive, Against the Grain is one of the most picturesque patios in the city. Sitting right at Sugar Beach, this waterfront Urban Tavern has beautiful views, but even better, you can enjoy them with a good feed. The menu here is full of upscale pub fare that is a perfect accompaniment to a day on the beach or a day of patio hopping. The classics, like beer-battered haddock, are perfectly prepared and reasonably priced. The Centre Island views and the daily specials here make this the perfect resto to become a regular and post up for the afternoon. For someone who has never been to the city and wants to see more than just the CN tower, Against the Grain is the place to go.
