Founded in 1830, Toronto’s Yorkville neighbourhood had transformed into a bastion for the city’s wealthy merchants by 1875. Decades later, the district blossomed in grand style, with the construction of Toronto’s first luxury hotel—then called the Park Plaza—at 4 Avenue Road. Today the neighbourhood is home to endless luxury retailers and countless restaurants and cafes, running through a vast range of tastes, from grand dining at Opus, Café Boulud and La Société to local favourites like Trattoria Nervosa, The Oxley, and Dim Sum at Dynasty Chinese Cuisine.
