Fairview Mall is one of the older malls in the GTA. The selection of stores inside this mall has…read morebeen updated and renovated many times throughout its lifespan. The busier stores always have good service and good staff. The mall staff themselves are great. Guest services is among the most helpful in the GTA. What needs improvement in this mall is it needs proper expansion and removal of outdated stores (when the lease expires of course). There is no distinction in the direction of what the mall is selling as a category. On the weekends it gets crowded with all sorts of demographics shopping. The security staff seem swarmed. And parking is a game of survival! I expect it to improve once a proper tenant or use has been found for the now vacant Hudson Bay and the surrounding area. Right now I recommend most to visit on the weekdays, unless bumper cars in the parking lot is a ideal.

When I was a kid I remember going to Fairview Mall. Back then you had Sears and Hudsons Bay as…read moreflagship stores. Now in 2025, both big box stores are no longer in business. Fairview Mall has gone through an evolution and reimagination of the retail space. I love how they redeveloped the space where Sears used to be. The space is now converted into a mini Chinatown spot with Saint Germain bakery, bubble tea shop, Hong Kong style cafe, Thai restaurant, and a T&T Supermarket. On the top floor there's a Marshalls / Homesense big box store. I noticed the Zara store has been renovated and now occupying 2 levels. The store looks immaculate and love the modern layout and self serve checkout kiosks to make shopping faster for DIY people. I managed to do some shopping at H&M and got some great deals in the sale section. I also bought some groceries like green beans, lychee, bbq pork buns, and curry beef pastries. It's not very often you can go to regional mall and be able to buy clothes, groceries, and bakery goods. It was a pleasant experience. I look forward to the transformation of the vacant Hudson Bay space. Oh did I mention they have a Playdium arcade in the old Sportchek space beside the Cineplex theatre.

When I visit family in Toronto, I often find myself at the CF Shops at Don Mills, also known as the…read moreDon Mills Centre. I've gone with my sister, cousins, or extended family for a stroll, a meal, or shopping over the years. There was even a time, a year or two ago, when I found myself there three times in two days! When my sister and I were just visiting Toronto a few weeks ago, we had lunch with cousins from out of town at the CF Shops at Don Mills. There's something for everyone and plenty to see and do. The CF Shops at Don Mills is known for some great restaurants. While there are some upscale and casual restaurants there, my favorite is Joey's, and I also really enjoy stopping by Lindt for some tasty chocolates. Other restaurants include Jack Astor's, Pi Co., Eataly, and the Good Son, among many others. You can find out more about the restaurants at the CF Shops at Don Mills at https://shops.cadillacfairview.com/property/cf-shops-at-don-mills/food. There are also plenty of shops, from upscale shops to more casual ones like Bath & Body Works. My favorite stores are Roots, Miniso, and on our last visit, we even stopped by the World Cup store, which closed the week after we were there. Similar to the restaurants, there are many shops at the CF Shops at Don Mills, which you can find out about at https://shops.cadillacfairview.com/property/cf-shops-at-don-mills/store#. There are also experiences with the interactive Town Square water fountain, where children frequently play and splash during the summer, and a miniature train that kids can ride. There is also a movie theatre, pickleball, and plenty of events, from an outdoor market to chess in the square. You can read more about the events at https://shops.cadillacfairview.com/property/cf-shops-at-don-mills/news-events. While store and restaurant hours may vary, they are typically 10 AM to 9 PM on weekdays, 10 AM to 7 PM on Saturday, and 11 AM to 6 PM on Sunday. There is a free parking structure.

The patios vibes just feel that much more inviting when your views aren't of the busy main roads. There is a central area where shoppers collect to have an ice cream or a coffee from the nearby patisserie. This area is always so lively. Despite the lively surroundings of this shopping centre, there is a calmness that comes with the experience of shopping here. Many relax in the Muskoka chairs by the fire pits or sit at the picnic tables while they let their kids roam free - a nice community feel. Security are always around and very friendly. There is a movie theatre, numerous lovely restaurants and fast food options, grocery stores, and some mid to higher end shops. They also run some very organized and exciting children's events - our favourite has to be the Trick or Treat event around Halloween. Everyone comes dressed up in their costumes and run from store to store collecting treats at participating retailers. This place is also beautiful during Christmas time. The central area turns in to a small skating rink! Would love to see more outdoor outlets in the city like Shops at Don Mills.

The food court has about 50% of the food stalls occupied so far. The other two buildings have businesses such as electronics, real estate, spa, eyewear, wedding gowns, and Domino's Pizza. 2021-004

Pariwar Hut is an offshoot of Pariwar Restaurant on Lawrence. I've heard the specialty is biryani. I'm looking forward to trying it. The man running the stall is very friendly. Rose Kebab needs more love. Rose is a one-man operation and she makes reasonably priced food with really big portions. My go-to is the Koobideh kebab, although I also enjoy the lamb shank. She's got quite a few vegetarian options too! Grandone opened during the pandemic and ran a 50% off sale for a very long time. They've got a Fantuan promo going on right now. Buy $15 and get $13 off? If you don't have Fantuan (delivery app), go to the link in my profile and get a newcomers coupon pack, then go to Grandone's Fantuan profile and get your Grandone coupon. Fried chicken is pretty good. I like it spicy. I'm not sure if they've changed it now but the shrimp sandwich brought back memories of trips to Asia. Yummy BBQ makes lunch sets that are bang for buck! Their Yummy special is enough food for 2-3 people and all their BBQ meats are super juicy and delicious. Other things I really enjoy are their pork bone soup, their seafood pancake, and their zucchini in egg batter. Wooffles, obviously, is a fan favorite. If you don't know why, go check our their Yelp page.

I recently returned to check this plaza out. On Saturday, I was here to take in a movie at Cineplex Odeon. It pretty much anchors the open plaza of huge box stores. It's a decent place to take in a movie. There is lots of parking and the seats are comfy. There are a handful of eateries parallel and closest to Lebovic Avenue. The Real Greek, East Side Mario's, and Minerva Tiffins were doing decent business when my movie was over at around 3:30 pm. There used to be a diner called Nickels in this row of eateries. It was owned by Celine Dion. My friend and I loved eating here. It threw you back to milkshakes, sandwiches, burgers, and Montreal-style smoked meats from the 50's or 60's. It was good eats and fairly cheap. It still sits vacant as this silver-looking bullet. It's a shame. Some businesses have stood the test of time. Old Navy, Wendy's, Roots, CIBC, and Dollarama are some of them. It was nice to see that they are still kicking around. There are some newer additions that look promising. Seafood City Supermarket and Healthy Planet are huge size-wise. I'll need to check them out when I return. It's a nice plaza where you can get almost everything. It does need a drugstore, though. Maybe one will pop up down the road. (173)

My parents and I would pass by it whenever we were driving along Victoria Park Avenue. We'd stop by this mall primarily for two stores: - Miracle Food Mart - Kmart Our usual Miracle Food Mart was Gerrard Square. This one was our second usual Miracle. The special part about this grocery store, which is now Metro, is the domed roof. It has always been that way and is considered a heritage property. When my parents and I moved from Toronto to Markham (my first stint), we shifted from a one-bedroom apartment to a house. We needed a better vacuum. My parents had a Hoover upright. There was a sale at Kmart for a more powerful Hoover with hose attachments. We came to this mall to get it. It lasted a good couple of decades. I figure that I got my brand loyalty from my parents. I am that way with products that work for decades, such as Sony and Samsonite. Kmart is no more. It probably explains one reason why we stopped frequenting this mall. The other was that it was dumpy back then. Roughly a decade ago, I spent a lot of time at the McDonald's drive-thru that is detached physically from the mall, but is still a part of it. It is steps away from Ellesmere Road. I used to work at Yonge and Eglinton. When I'd drive along York Mills-Ellesmere heading eastbound and felt like grabbing a bite to eat for dinner after work, I'd come here. I never had any issues with my order. It's funny that I have yet to go inside the restaurant. I was recently at Parkway Mall to grab some bubble tea at CoCo. There was plenty of parking. I loved the CoCo store. It is a great addition to the mall. There's also Gabby's across from it. I used to like the wings there and hope that they are still yummy. I hope to drop by one of these days. I haven't walked the entire mall because I still don't feel comfortable browsing in a large space during a pandemic. I will say that this mall satisfies your needs for most things. Groceries. A food court. Restaurants. School and office supplies. Cell phones and providers. Drug store. Dental and health services. I'd say that Dollarama, Metro, and Dollarama anchor this mall. I parked in front of Dollarama. I wanted to go into this store, but I had an order to pick up elsewhere. Next time! I hope to spend more time taking a closer look at what the mall has to offer. From my brief visit a couple of Saturdays ago, it is definitely less dumpy than I recall it to be. (77)
