Lambo’s Deli, 176 Bellwoods Avenue
EVERYDAY | 11 AM – 7 PM
Heading toward Trinity Bellwoods Park, take a worthy detour to Lambo’s Deli—a neighbourhood staple that’s earned its status through stacked sandwiches made with uncompromising quality. A visit here feels essential. Grab your favourite (the Caprese with prosciutto is superior) before your next stop.

Sonndr, 1068 Dundas Street West
EVERYDAY | 8 AM – 5 PM
Now you can’t show up to the park without a drink-in-hand. Right before the Dundas and Shaw Street Park entrance, Sonndr offers bright, locally roasted brews in a space adorned with artwork by resident creatives. Order a refreshing iced americano or ask for the “the Sonndr”—a specialty seasonal drink.
Fully equipped—with food, drink, and maybe even a chocolate croissant—you’re ready to settle into Trinity Bellwoods Park: beneath the trees, beside the dog bowl, or in the heart of the main field.
Atomic Design, 965 Queen Street West
THURSDAY – SATURDAY | 12 PM – 5 PM
Wandering down Queen Street West, Atomic is a tightly curated boutique that features authentic twentieth-century furniture and home goods, restored in-house with a keen eye for colour, proportion and function. The result is a space that feels like a living gallery: nostalgic yet modern, refined yet approachable.
Fable, 878 Queen Street West
EVERYDAY | 11 AM – 7 PM
Directly across the street, Fable offers ethically made homeware displayed in a peach-hued storefront. With a commitment to zero waste, their collection is as conscientious as it is covetable. It’s the kind of place where high design meets ordinary treasures, proving that everyday essentials can, and should, be beautiful.

Henry’s Restaurant, 922 Queen Street West
TUESDAY – SATURDAY | 5 PM – 10:30 PM
Book a casual fine dining experience at Henry’s, a Michelin Guide 2024 pick. Dishes like beef tartare with smoked crème fraiche and curry skate wing are best shared among friends. Here, mid-century modern interiors—forest green banquettes, globe lighting, gold-trimmed tables—flow into a sun-dappled patio and adjacent retail wine shop.
Short Turn, 576 Queen Street West
TUESDAY – SATURDAY | 5 PM – 2 AM
End the night at Short Turn, a dusk-lit bar along the border of Trinity Bellwoods that pays subtle homage to Toronto’s iconic streetcars. It’s cozy, stylish and just the right kind of ambiance—ideal for the final toast with Spiritopias and Emily in Tokyos to a day in the neighbourhood.
