You could say there are also communal tables. One thing I'm not a fan of is I can't see what's in the other side of the food court from one side to another. I would like to see all my options at once. Also, it would be good if the stairs on north side from the food court would allow me to get to second level (upstairs). The shops seem to show some promise with Miniso and Dollarama. Keep adding interesting shops and food options and I could bump it up a star.

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 visiting the Bayview Village Shopping Centre…read morewhether it is meeting family for a coffee and snack and then walk around the centre, stopping by some of the retail spaces for shopping, or making a reservation for a sit-down restaurant. On my most recent visit to Toronto, my family and I visited the Bayview Village and had dinner at a restaurant where we made a reservation in advance. There's something for everyone and plenty to see and do, and I appreciate the renovations that have been done over the years. Bayview Village is known for some great restaurants and shops. In fact, there are many different options from upscale and casual restaurants to coffee and grocery stores. My favorites include Italian food at Il Fornello to shopping at Lindt and LCBO to casual like Aroma. You can find all 19 options at https://bayviewvillage.ca/shop/dine. There are also plenty of shops from upscale shops to more casual ones. You can find all 47 retail options at https://bayviewvillage.ca/shop/retail. Find exclusive offers from stores at https://bayviewvillage.ca/whats-on/?promotions. There are also fifteen different wellness options from dentists, hairstylists, spas, drug stores, and more (https://bayviewvillage.ca/shop/wellness) and thirteen different services from tailoring to financial planning to travel services, and more (https://bayviewvillage.ca/shop/services) There are also special events that take place (https://bayviewvillage.ca/whats-on/?events) at Bayview Village. While stores and restaurant hours may vary, the hours are typically weekdays from 10 AM to 8 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM, and Sunday from 12 Noon to 5 PM. There is plenty of free parking around the entire mall. You can read more about the Bayview Village at https://bayviewvillage.ca including a place you can sign up to be "in the know." I certainly plan to return again on my next Toronto visit!

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.
