You found yourself on this site so I have one question to ask you: Are you gay? No, I don’t mean to be nosy or indiscrete (today anyway!), I’m asking because today’s post is about the adorable gay B&B in Toronto, The Dundonald House – that will be perfect for you. Perfect, that is, if you’re gay. Well, are you?

Deep in the very heart of downtown Toronto, you might find some friends. Well perhaps, but at least you’ll definitely find Les Amis, a quaint and special kind of bed and breakfast. You will be welcomed by the owners, Paul Antoine and Michelle, an expatriated Parisian couple, and because of the location, you will have easy access to Toronto’s main attractions. In addition to this convenience, every morning you’ll be treated to an organic, gourmet vegetarian breakfast. (Vegan breakfasts are available as well upon request.) It can’t get better than this. If you stay for several nights or more, each day you will have a different breakfast, so things don’t get boring. How is that for service?
