About this Neighborhood

Alexandra Park sits in the thick of downtown Toronto, bounded by Dundas, Spadina, Queen West and Bathurst, and it eats like it: 152 restaurants and 30 coffee shops crowd the blocks, and Yelp reviewers hand it a near-perfect 4.8. The taste runs cosmopolitan, from Mexican and Latin American kitchens to vegan tables and a French spot, all within an easy wander. The social center of gravity is clear at places like Mother Cocktail Bar and the pan-Asian Hawker, with Fahrenheit Coffee fueling the daytime. A farmers market and grade-level retail along Queen West and Spadina keep the neighborhood grounded in the everyday even as the nightlife hums.
