Nothing says Canadian quite like a BeaverTail! Located right in the heart of downtown Kingston, pick yourself up a tasty pastry and enjoy the hustle and bustle of Springer Market Square.
8. Grab some lunch at a local downtown restaurant
You wouldn’t be doing Canada’s city with the most restaurants per capita justice without grabbing some grub at a local restaurant. Bring your buddies and order something classic on their menu. Union Kitchen + Cocktails, Woodenheads and Atomica are among some of Kingston’s unique and delicious restaurants. Plus it’s a great way to keep your money local and support the city’s small businesses.
