7 Best Things to Do in Liberty Village

7 Best Things to Do in Liberty Village

Liberty Village is one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Toronto.

There’s no shortage of things to do and places to eat in Liberty Village, and since they’ll be adding the pathway to King Street, it’ll be even easier to get to in the coming years.

I’ve actually worked at two different companies that operate out of Liberty Village, so I’ve been able to spend a lot of time in the area over the years!

Best things to do in Liberty Village


Brunch at School Restaurant

Kick off your day exploring in Liberty Village with some delicious brunch at this adorable restaurant with all the industrial vibes.

They’ve got everything from blueberry pancake stacks to juicy buttermilk chicken and waffles, so you can take your pick of sweet or savoury brunch.

They also make their own hot sauce in-house, which is really cool!

Toronto Carpet Factory in Liberty Village, Toronto

Explore the street art around Liberty Village

There’s always an abundance of cool murals in Toronto, and you’ll certainly find some of the coolest street art in Liberty Village.

The Toronto Carpet Factory and “hustle” murals are both super popular on Instagram.

You can find the cool carpet mural at the Toronto Carpet Factory, and the “hustle” mural outside the Liberty Market Building!


'ONO Poké Bar in Toronto's Liberty Village

Lunch at ‘ONO Poké Bar

You probably won’t want a big lunch after such a heavy brunch, and ‘ONO Poké Bar is the perfect spot to visit.

If you haven’t had poke before, it’s basically sushi in a bowl, and there are plenty of incredible poke spots in Toronto.

Poké is a traditionally Hawaiian dish, and the poké you’ll find in Toronto is more Japanese-inspired with lots of Asian toppings.

Poke bowls from 'Ono Poké Bar in Toronto

I absolute adore the torched poke bowls at ‘ONO, and you can choose between a snack size or regular size.

‘ONO has multiple locations in Toronto, including one here in Liberty Village!

Plus, you can order ahead on Ritual and get points towards free food – feel free to use my code to get $10 off your first order!

Sip on coffee at Louie Craft Coffee

Louie Craft Coffee is a cozy and rustic café in Liberty Village, and it’s a great spot for a mid-day pick-me-up.

It’s not a huge café, but there is seating inside if you’re looking for it!

The beans come from local coffee roaster Social Coffee Roasters, and they have their own personalized house blend.

The café is owned by two sisters, and they named it after their dog Louie.

LOCATION: 1187 King St. West, Toronto, ON | Website


Brodflour in Liberty Village Toronto

Shop homemade bread at Brodflour

End off your day picking up some freshly-made bread at Brodflour.

They source their grain from local farmers and mill the grain on-site here in Liberty Village, which is pretty awesome!

If you’re in need of some more caffeination, they serve up hot drinks here as well.

You can also order ahead on Ritual (use my code to get $10 off your first order)!

LOCATION: 8 Pardee Ave, Toronto, ON


Enjoy dinner at LOCAL Public Eatery

LOCAL is the hotspot in Liberty Village for craft beer and pub food.

Adam and I stumbled across it a couple years ago after going to the Budlight Dreams Festival, and we loved the vibes here!

Canadian National Exhibition (CNE)

Stop by the Canadian National Exhibition

The CNE (formerly known as the Ex) opens up for 2 weeks at the end of summer, and it’s an annual tradition for locals to visit.

I used to love visiting with my friends as a sort of send-off to summer before we started school again.

You can do all kinds of fun carnival games to win prizes and try weird foods at the CNE!
