The best shopping on the Mount Pleasant strip

The Mount Pleasant strip isn’t exactly the next hot ’hood or the new Queen West or the developer district du jour. No, Mount Pleasant is as it’s always been: a charming stretch between Eglinton and Davisville that’s lined with European bakeries, amazing Gallic restaurants (where the servers still speak French), whimsical shops and one-screen movie houses that take us back to the Toronto of yore. Unlike other shopping and dining districts, customers aren’t paying for the view, the rent or the trend—they’re paying for a slice of authenticity in an ever-gentrifying city. Here, we visit our 26 favourite spots along Mount Pleasant, finding quirky antiques, fanciful items for kids, refined meals and stunning baguettes.
