(Explored 09/08/25 MO @ 11:30am): An urban square in the middle of downtown Toronto!…read more I was in town for the 50th Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) when I came across David Pecaut Square. During the film festival, it was being utilized as a fan-fest area where you mingled with other attendees, enjoyed live entertainment, participated in games, and more. It also had a lawn and trees along its outer edges. The public space allowed for views of Metro Hall, Roy Thomson Hall https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=456&select=GInyiBmz_OQEnbiIJS_BlQ and the Royal Alexandra Theatre. Outside of the film festival, it was frequently used for free concerts, film screenings, and other events. Formerly known as Metro Square, David Pecaut Square was built as part of Toronto's Postmodern Metro Hall project in 1992. Formerly known as Metro Square, the square was renamed in April 2011 by a Toronto City Council vote to honor the late civic leader David Pecaut. The Square featured The Eternal Flame of Hope, inspired by the perseverance of disabled people, and burned as a reminder that society must be all-inclusive. Outside of the film festival, it was frequently used for free concerts, film screenings, and other events. Was this square cool enough to hang out at throughout the year!? PURCHASE(S) None to speak of; I just enjoyed the great outdoors and people-watched! SERVICE There was none to be found throughout the day, but when there was an event going on, there was plenty of security and assistance - 'nuff said! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): I was in the area all day for the 50th Toronto International Film Festival, so I simply walked. Otherwise, there appeared to be some onsite underground, minimal to no parking spots along the main and many surrounding streets (I'm sure this was different during any other time), some nearby structures, numerous public transportation options (e.g. King St. streetcars, St. Andrew Subway Station), and rideshares - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A public space filled with greenery, trees, sculptures, places to relax and sit, plenty of people-watching opportunities, and nice city views https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=456&select=N3ogksTB8l0dC64v8pENKA as you dreamt away. There was plenty of natural lighting since you were outdoors while electric street lights filled in once the sun went down. Generally speaking, outside of special events, there weren't any TVs while the chatter of conversations and the sounds of vehicle traffic played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=456&select=BBjFhxh8tSO7ZESplkASEg ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL David Pecaut Square was a nice place to stop and take a rest. It was rather small in nature, but it had some nooks you were able to hide away in. However, I always appreciated the idea of an urban park in the middle of commerce and consumption just to break up the monotony, but the size of this "park" didn't really give you that respite to get away from it all. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $0.00CAD BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, there wasn't any need for my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

The Square has a large open area enjoyed by the Public. It is located centrally in Downtown Toronto. During the summer time, you will find food trucks in the area. There are also a line of colorful lawn chair at David Pecault Square. Definitely a great idea for people to grab food and to enjoy their food at the Square.

As a Goldmember, we get 2 PM late check out. We asked the lady at the front desk for a late check out, she told us that we had to call back in the morning. Next morning, we called down and asked for a late check out, she did not even let us finish our sentence before saying no. She did not bother to check to see if a late check out was available for the room. To say, I'm disappointed is an understatement. I will be switching all my stays to Hyatt from now on.

So many new restaurants around the movie theatre, its becoming quite the entertainment space with a unique carousel in the centre of it all. Love the little patches of grass and concrete seating in front of the Cineplex which has basically become Luculus' and Cha Time's very own patio. During the day they have tasteful and sturdy tables and chairs here for enjoying your favorite drink. But its intended to be the spot for DTM concert nights or a viewing area for such events. My kids love the steps leading up to this area with the little water fountain. Far enough from the parking lot, that they can roam free so parents can enjoy their snacks worry free and uninterrupted. Cant wait for the continued growth here. Would be nice to see them expand all the way into York University area. It was a long walk to the Indy from DTM with nothing to view along the way on either side of Enterprise Rd. Could use more stores and more variety. All the stores brand new and well maintained.

There are so many amazing restaurant, cafes and shops; just saw that The Leo Steakhouse is going to opens soon (taking over Terre Rouge). So sad that Kiu Restaurant closed down, but we got the new brunch spot, 15th Avenue, that lives up to the good vibes :) Also, shoutout to my favourite drinks spot, True Boss, with the healthy enzyme/fruit vinegar drinks :)

Each part of the event clicked like a well-oiled machine with competent staff attending to every partiers' needs. From friendly bar tending to accommodating photo booth staff to flawless AV presentations, The Bram & Bluma Appel Salon delivered fantastic service! The stage was beautifully lit with natural light streaming in with ribbons of yellow as the Barra MacNeils played and danced with excellent sound and smooth performances from these veteran Canadian icons. As guests entered the function a steel band played as delicious minty mojitos were handed to them. A gorgeous balcony off the middle room made it possible to get out of the air conditioning and 'warm up' in the glow of one of Toronto's first heat wave days of the summer. The balcony had nice patio furniture and carefully trimmed and well taken-care-of plants. As guests left the party, taxi chits were on hand to help guests get home quickly. Highly recommended for any group needing AV as they have a main screen flanked by screens on each side of the room.
