The Neighbourhood
The neighbourhood
Welcome To
Brock & Queen
Of all the character-filled pockets in the city, Roncesvalles stands out on its own. The predominantly residential neighbourhood is considered the heart of Toronto’s Polish community, which is immediately evident through authentic foodie staples like Cafe Polonez and The Commoner Roncy. While Roncesvalles has maintained its storied history, there’s no shortage of hip restos, bars and stores to pop into that appeal to young professionals and families alike. It also neighbours High Park, the largest – and arguably the prettiest – park in the city. Sure, the Roncey strip is a bit west of downtown, but that only adds to its charm.
