The thing about foodies is that these aroma-sniffing, flavour-discerning folks in our lives have been trying great, adventurous food all year round. So, a mere box of cookies isn’t going to impress them. What will impress them is a great gastronomical experience. And that’s why we’ve curated this list of some of Toronto’s best eateries that are sure to make your foodie friend very happy.
But it isn’t just the foodie friends that these gifts will please; they will be rewarding for you too. How so? Glad you asked. So, every place on this list accepts a Neo Card which offers some serious cashback rewards that are averaging at 5%. We swear we aren’t kidding!
Neo Financial, as you might already know by now, is a relatively new Canadian fintech company that’s fast becoming popular for having simplified banking. And even more popular because their cashback rewards are about 1.5 times higher than others. That’s why we are using our Neo Card for all our holiday shopping this year. And you can too.
On to the list now!
