Harbord Village Monthly Diners

Dear Community Members,
Our next gathering will be at Alice Restaurant, 488 College St (between Markham and Palmerston) on Thursday, July 16, at either the 5:30pm or the 6:00pm seating.
Alice Restaurant offers an excellent selection of dishes, and their sheltered patio is a wonderful spot for summer dining. Both their happy hour and regular menu will be available, and they’ll provide complimentary appetizers for our group.
Space is limited, so please reserve in advance via SevenRooms using this link. When making your reservation, select either 5:30 PM or 6:00 PM and note that you’re part of the “HVRA group.” If after you reserve, you can’t make it, please update your reservation.
Yours in community and connection,
Tim, Michael, and Jordan
PS: Thanks to those of you who joined our recent community lunch! John, the owner of Harbord House, is always so welcoming to our neighbourhood—and his patio is truly one of the loveliest gathering spaces in the area.

Here are a few photos from events in 2025. You can see people enjoying each other’s company and good food.

Neighbours had a great time at The Cottage Cheese in December 2025. We had great conversations and enjoyed flavourful Indian dishes.

The October 2025 meal was at  Pho Ha Noi at 374 College Street (between Borden and Brunswick). We enjoyed good conversation over tasty Vietnamese dishes.

The September group meal was at Alebrije at 6pm on Tues. Sept. 16.This fine-dining Mexican restaurant opened recently in the space that was formerly Her Father’s Cider Bar & Kitchen. We were welcomed with complimentary welcome cocktails and mocktails and greatly enjoyed sitting on the patio.

Thanks to everyone who joined us at Maven in August 2025. Neighbours really enjoyed the tasty Jewish and Eastern European fare and great conversations. A few photos below.

In July 2025 we had great Italian food at Raffaella  This pizzeria has recently become part of the Annex Hotel at 296 Brunswick just south of Bloor. It has a patio!

In June, we enjoyed great conversation and tasty food at Alice Restaurant, 488 College St. Despite the weather, we were able to take advantage of the secluded covered patio. We recommend checking out Alice’s Happy Hour Menu.
