little portugal at a glance
Little Portugal (Toronto), also also known as Portugal Village or Trinity Bellwoods, is the heartland of Toronto's large Portuguese community. Many local Portuguese-Canadian businesses are located along Dundas Street West, with street signs noting Portugal Village. The stretch further west on Dundas is known as Rua Açores – also noted on street signs. The area is bordered by Trinity Bellwoods Park, around which the community is centred. Currently, this area is in the process of gentrification, following its surrounding neighbourhoods. Many of the Portuguese residents, as they become more affluent, are moving to the suburbs, and in their place a new, young generation are taking their place. The businesses along Dundas Street reflect these changes, with sports bars and social clubs becoming trendy restaurants, bars and brunch places.
