Lytton Park
Lytton Park Toronto
Lytton Park began to develop in 1886 when a single horse car line run by The Metropolitan Street Railway helped connect it to the City of Toronto. In 1912 it became part of the city, and over the next dozen years the bulk of the neighbourhood's homes, schools, churches and parks were built.
Houses in this area are detached, lushly landscaped and typically built Tudor and Georgian style.
An abundant variety of upscale shopping is close at hand along Yonge Street, Avenue Road and Eglinton Avenue West. The actual Lytton Park is hidden away in a valley, has three public tennis courts and is also home to the North Toronto Lawn Bowling Club.
As well as public schools the highly regarded private school, Havergal College, is situated in the neighbourhood. Both Eglinton and Lawrence subway stations are a short walk to many Lytton Park homes, and the Yonge Street and Avenue Road on-ramps to Highway 401 can be reached in about 5 minutes.

My partner and I tried Trillium out last Sunday night. We were one of only three tables as well.
We started by sharing the Short Ribs appetizer which was excellent.
My partner had the Salmon wich was crusty on the outside and tender inside. He said it was very good. I tried the Spinach and Cheese Canneloni which were very very tasty.
We each had a glass of wine and passed on dessert.
Our bill, including tax & tip, was under $80, which we felt was reasonable.
I asked our waiter if he was the owner and he said that the chef is the owner. So the chef has a vested interest, very good!
I only fault them on 2 small details. They were not generous with the bread (but provided lots of dipping oil) and the tables are too close together. This became very evident after an obnoxious, waiter monopolizing, foursome seated themselves right next to us, in an otherwise empty restaurant, but this was not the restaurant’s fault.
While Trillium outshines many similar priced restaurants in Toronto, its location is not high profile. Whether it will be a success or not, only time (and word of mouth) will tell!
