Are you looking for the ideal place to open your eatery in Toronto? Will your culinary hotspot be more fusion bistro than diner or burger joint? If so, Bloordale Village may be the right place for you. With its relaxed, up-and-coming vibe (okay, maybe it’s arrived), it’s the perfect place for your dining hotspot.
Here are five reasons why you may want to consider opening a restaurant in Bloordale Village…
1) It’s become a food lover’s paradise
When it comes to food, it’s hard to find areas in Toronto that are hidden treasures. For many diners, Bloordale Village meets that criterion. Meeting places like Sugo (know for its Italian classics and famous red sauce), Alma (with its comforting dishes like pork wontons and fresh pasta), and Burdock (a brewery that sells fun bar snacks), are breathing no shortage of life into Bloordale Village.
2) The food scene is diverse
Notice something about the restaurants listed above? They’re very different from one another. Other local favourites include Seoul Shakers (known for Korean sharing plates and cocktails) and Parallel (for fresh and flavourful Mediterranean dishes). No matter what type of eatery you plan to open, you can rest assured that the locals will have an open mind.
3) You’ll be surrounded by creatives
The Bloordale Village area is home to artists, musicians, designers, small business owners, and creative workers of all types. Depending on your personality type, that could be a very good thing. Imagine being surrounded by like-minded people to draw inspiration from—and share advice with. Envision yourself enjoying a beer and talking business with the restauranteur down the street after work. There’s nothing quite like a supportive environment to keep your spirits up!
4) Relatively affordable rents
Yeah, it’s pretty hard to find a truly affordable commercial district in Toronto. That said, some areas are still a little less costly than others. While you won’t find rock bottom rents in the area, you can expect to find spaces that cost less than what’s available downtown. It’s worth exploring.
5) You can get a foothold in the west end
Of course, there are plenty of incredible restaurants in charming enclaves across the city. That said, there’s just something about the city’s west end. It’s alive with a certain energy—and that includes a very lively food scene. Chances are, once you open your restaurant business here, you’ll never want to leave!
