Leslieville

Leslieville has a family-friendly-but-hip atmosphere that’s made it one of the city’s most sought-after neighbourhoods for young families to live in, and among the most fun to visit. Locals flock here for weekend brunch, and foodies for the numerous restaurant and bar options. In summer, make time for block party-style events like the Leslieville Beer Fest.
