Restaurants Scene
55% of the 600,000 residents of the Scarborough area were born outside Canada, which has created
demand for a number of great restaurants reflecting the ethnically diverse community's dining desires.
It also means the cuisine is authentic as opposed to North American formulaic derivatives that make "foreign" food bland enough for some tastes.
Only good ethnic restaurants survive in this community.
Restaurants tend to be clustered around Scarborough's Main streets, with the east-west ones like Kingston Rd, Eglinton, Lawrence, Ellesemere, Sheppard and Finch, being the routes used to/from Toronto You will also find a restaurant for pretty well any kind of food along the very street you're driving along. Business parks have some higher-end noon hour restaurants and fine dining establishments, wile industrial areas and those areas close to campuses have the cheaper eats, and the outlying residential areas have the family-friendly and affordable dining options. Rhe Scarborough region has over 500 restaurants. Use the pop-down list at upper-left to quickly find restaurants by cuisine. You can use the Restaurant Search Form to quickly filter the restaurants by community/neighbourhood AND by cuisine. You can even search by postal code, even by street to find all restaurants really close to you.

Cliffside VillageThis quaint area is east of where Danforth meets Kingston Rd, and has a lot of shops and restaurants.
