The Best Places To Eat & Imbibe in Bloor West Village
See All Lists
1. Billy Bobs Bistro & Saloon - CLOSED
I used to go to Billy Bob's ALL the time when I lived at Jane/Bloor. The main level part is a restaurant that is transformed into a sort of disco bar/30-somethings hangout on Friday and Saturday nights. They clear a bunch of tables and make room for…More »
2. Sweet Flour Bake Shop
Toronto, ON M6S 1P3
Canada
(416) 763-2253
Custom cookies. Not kidding. Read on.
So I was wandering around in Bloor West Village today while waiting for my watch to be repaired and thought I'd take some photos of a few local businesses, which, having grown up in this neighbourhood, I thought I…More »
3. Anna's Bakery & Deli
Toronto, ON M6S 1P5
Canada
(416) 769-8065
Categories:
Bakeries,
Meat Shops
Neighbourhoods: Bloor-West Village, Swansea
My family has been buying pastries and cookies from Anna's for almost four decades. They have been around for ages and the quality is the same now as it was back when I was a kid.
They have lots of great cheesecake-y type things as well as jam-filled…More »
4. Karpaty Pastry & Deli
Toronto, ON M6S 1P9
Canada
(416) 769-2159
Categories:
Delis,
Ethnic Food
Neighbourhood: Bloor-West Village
This is my go-to place for frozen pierogies and kopytka (sometimes called paluszki in Polish; it's sort of like gnocchi). They ship these in by the hundred and have a constantly stocked freezer full of them for a couple bucks each in tons of flavours…More »
5. Taz Hair
Toronto, ON M8X 1B6
Canada
(647) 352-7060
Category:
Hair Salons
Neighbourhood: Etobicoke
At most salons, the person that washes your hair is someone who one day aspires to be stylist or colourist, and eventually "graduates" to a higher position within the salon.
Well, I hope Michael "fails" his evaluation and is never promoted.
Because if…More »

6. 2 For 1 Movies
Toronto, ON M6S 1R2
Canada
(416) 767-0110
Categories:
DVD & Video Game Rental,
Music & DVDs
Neighbourhood: Swansea
I like to play a little game when I rent movies from 2 For 1 - even when I know the name of the movie I'm looking for, I approach one of the two super knowledgeable owners and try to see if they can figure out what the hell I'm talking about. There's…More »
7. John's Fruit Village
Toronto, ON M6S 3X5
Canada
(416) 766-7376
Categories:
Grocery,
Fruits & Veggies
Neighbourhood: Bloor-West Village
It may officially be called "John's Food Village" on paper, but to locals to BWV (that's Bloor West Village!) it's simply referred to as "John's" or "that fruit market on Armadale". Yes, there are many fruit markets in the ten blocks that span BWV -…More »
8. Carload Food Market
Toronto, ON M6S 1P3
Canada
(416) 767-8661
Category:
Fruits & Veggies
Neighbourhoods: Bloor-West Village, Swansea
Next to John's Food Village (the farthest WEST fruit market in Bloor West Village), Carload has the best produce in the neighbourhood. They always have the best green beans and bell peppers, not to mention the TOP price per pound on cherries.…More »
9. Bread & Roses Bakery Cafe
Toronto, ON M6S 1N6
Canada
(416) 769-9898
Categories:
Bakeries,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Bloor-West Village
An "I Have Yet To Yelp" Yelper Who Shall Not Be Named™ urged me to get a raspberry muffin from Bread & Roses while on a manicure mission, and since I hadn't had one since my days as an overnight donut decorator I thought, why not?
I waited in a Jonas…More »
10. DAVIDsTEA
Toronto, ON M6S 1P1
Canada
(416) 769-9991
Category:
Tea Rooms
Neighbourhood: Swansea
I am a tea fiend and at any given moment I have between ten and way-too-many types of tea on hand, ready for brew. I have two small cordless kettles, a French press, a tea scoop and several beautiful Polish mugs (http://www.bodumusa.co...) ready to…More »
11. Green Thumb Fruit Market
Toronto, ON M6S 1N9
Canada
(416) 767-6229
Category:
Fruits & Veggies
Neighbourhood: Bloor-West Village
Along with Carload and John's Fruit Village on Armadale, Green Thumb rounds out the triple threat of produce markets in Bloor West Village. You can comparison shop between the three of them, and I highly recommend it for these three hot ticket items:…More »
