Roncesvalles village is one of Toronto’s most cultural, family oriented, trendy and beautiful neighborhoods. Roncesvalles village has a huge variety of independent shops, fine dining restaurants, fast food restaurants, cafes, bakeries, churches and schools. Located in the heart of Toronto West, within a five-minute walk from Toronto’s largest Park, High Park, and Bloor West village, this neighborhood is in a fantastic location and very convenient to get to.
Roncesvalles ave, the main strip, where a variety of businesses are located, runs from Dundas St. West all the way to the lake, and the entire strip is a fantastic variety of restaurants, bars and shops. The Roncesvalles neighborhood can easily boast as one of Toronto’s safest neighborhoods, and being full of public schools has a huge family dynamic to the community. No matter who you are, you will fit in perfectly in this established, unique neighborhood. The people of Roncesvalles are all welcoming and kind to visitors and residents. I have grown up my entire life in Roncesvalles, and though I have been to almost every neighborhood in Toronto, I have to say nothing compares to Roncesvalles village. There is a little bit of everything in Roncesvalles, and a place to go shop or eat for anyone with any budget option. This neighborhood is home to many people of Polish/Ukrainian decent, but is also a very multicultural community. There is food from almost every ethnic background. Some fantastic restaurants that line Roncesvalles are Domani, if you are feeling like some fine dining Italian cuisine, or Butlers Pantry, a home-style caf/restaurant that has rare affordable dishes. There is also Shalimar, Silver spoon, and Viki’s Fish and Chips ( authentic Thai food with fish and chips) that are all fantastic places to get extraordinary meals. Coffee and all That Jazz, which is rated one of Toronto’s top 10 places to get a coffee, is located on Howard Park ave. at the very top of Roncesvalles. This is a place I would recommend people visiting Toronto definitely come and see, to shop, eat and saunter the streets. I would also recommend that Toronto residents who have never been come out and spend a day in one of Toronto’s finest neighborhoods. The residential houses in the area are fabulous, and many still preserve their antique feel. The neighbourhood is a great place to grab a cappuccino and take a long walk through High Park, where you don’t feel like you could possibly be in a city as busy as Toronto. The very safe, clean neighborhood of Roncesvalles is well known for the aesthetic quality it has, old buildings and cute shops lining the streets. Roncesvalles is often the host to many of Toronto’s street festivals and special events. an side walk sale was recently held on Roncesvalles. This was a great opportunity for those people who have never visited the neighborhood before to get to experience the unique culture the area holds. On Saturday May 14 Roncesvalles Village held a Side Walk Sale, where almost every local business was taking part. There was food being distributed, kids activities, live performances, and lots of good deals for those people attending the event. Roncesvalles Village is a very inviting, warm, safe, and trendy community that makes Toronto look like a fantastic place. I feel honored to have grown up in a such a great community, with so many friendly people. I have also been lucky to have o many multicultural shops and restaurants easily available. I recommend to anyone who hasn’t been, visitors and residents of Toronto to take a day and spend it in a fantastic neighborhood. Roncesvalles ave. is located two blocks south of Bloor St West, at Dundas. and runs all the way to the lake. It is a great place to live, and represents our city well.Robin Pierro is a co-op student from Humberside, who is studying Journalism at the Canada Free Press.
