Centrally located and popular with young professionals and families, Davisville Village is an attractive area in Midtown Toronto between St Clair and Eglinton which offers an unprecedented array of housing options. Depending on what part of the neighbourhood you are in, you will see anything from detached and semi-detached houses to walk-up apartment buildings and towering high-rises circa 1970. Newer condominium apartments and custom built homes abound, and even some original homes from the late 1800’s remain.

The Regal Heights Bistro
1077-1079 St. Clair Avenue West, Toronto, ON
(416) 651-2109
Neighbourhood: Regal Heights
As our car approaches the Regal Heights Bistro on St. Clair just east of Dufferin, the windshield wipers slap at driving rain that’s turned this stretch of Corso Italia into a churning sea of gravel and mud. The tearing up of St. Clair Avenue West for a streetcar track/road improvement project is still going strong five years later, and we’re reduced to one lane. Fortunately the bad weather seems to have kept traffic light, and we’re able to park just across the street from the restaurant.

Quince Restaurant
2110 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON
(416) 488-2110
Neighbourhood: Yonge-Eglinton
Rated by Eye Magazine as ‘outstanding’, but receiving mixed reviews from Toronto Life who ultimately rated it one of Toronto’s Best New Restaurants in 2007, Quince falls into the category of a must-try – a Mediterranean-inspired bistro with reasonable prices and a reputation for fresh, innovative flavours. Formerly of the acclaimed Stork on the Roof, the husband and wife team of Jennifer Gittins and Michael van den Winkel reappeared in fall of 2006 with this new midtown digs, just a couple blocks south of the busy intersection at Yonge and Eglinton.

We’d heard the buzz about Locavore, a hot restaurant that opened on Avenue Road north of Lawrence last year; how Executive Chef Matt Cowan was doing amazing things with naturally raised, locally sourced food (when you don’t serve anything out of season, you definitely have to get creative – when there are no tomatoes for the sauce, what do you substitute?) With great reviews from the Toronto Star and reliable sites like martiniboys and chowhound, we happily stepped outside our geographical comfort zone and into what feels like a little part of suburbia in the city. As we stood outside a convenience store at the corner of Avenue Road and Lawrence, I pointed across the street at the mega-Shoppers, open 24 hours, and told my partner that Locavore had to be right beside it.
