Behind the Eaton Centre, there is a restaurant with a patio flanked by giant rhododendrons, which make the concrete passageway pleasant to walk through.

Local office workers fill up Fran's diner on Shuter Street during lunch (and early dinner) hours, but it is still one of Toronto's best kept secrets. Partly because the restaurant has a rather drab and gray exterior, and it is on a side street. But colorful potted pansies in the (now open) patio give it a welcoming presence in the warmer months. For winter, there's still the red and turquoise furniture with stainless steel chairs, and an airy interior (and of course daily specials - bacon and eggs go for $5.45 while coffee is extra but with "bottomless" refills).
