Greek Town on the Danforth in Toronto

I live in the Greek Town area and I love it. Greek Town on the Danforth is one of the best areas of Toronto. Lots of Greek food, bars, some bozouki clubs and lots of clothing stores. Greek Town on the Danforth truly shows the life and energy of Toronto especially in the summer and on the week-ends. If you are bringing a car, be prepared for a bit of frustration trying to get a parking spot on a Friday or Saturday night. Best is take the Bloor Danforth line to Chester station then get out and walk east along Danforth.

Best places to eat on the Danforth include Mezes, Omonia, Astoria. Pan on the Danforth is another great restaurant on the Danforth, although admittedly, I have never eaten there yet, I have heard such great reviews from people who have. For more information on Pan on the Danforth, check out their website, www.panonthedanforth.com

Trapezzi on the Danforth is a great spot to eat too in a beautiful restaurant, just east of Logan on the South side of the street. A great place to party too on Friday nights too after 11pm.

For something quick, Greek and great to eat visit Athens Pastries Pies at 509 Danforth Avenue, just a few doors east of Trapezzi Their pies are amazing! Try their cheese pie, I am pretty sure for under $4.00 you will have no regrets.

Great for a Friday or Saturday night out is Myth which is across the street from the Chester subway station on the South side of the Danforth at 417 Danforth Avenue. On Friday nights they have a “Live Bouzouki Night”. On Saturday night the DJ plays Modern Greek Music.

Great clothes and accessories can be found as you walk the Danforth from Chester east to Pape too. Some notable clothing stores include FiveOSeven clothing, located at 496 Danforth Avenue and Maxi a Boutique at 575 Danforth Avenue.

Greek Town has parades throughout the year and has it’s most popular event in August called Taste of the Danforth. Taste of the Danforth is so popular at times, it seems there is not enough room for you to move. The Danforth is closed and everyone is invited to the Taste of the Danforth party. Live music, even more food than usual and greek dancing done in traditional greek ware helps you understand why the event is so popular.
