Fernwood.

A village pocketed inside the city. Arts everywhere, infill arguments louder than the cafes.

Where we eat

Our Fernwood picks.

Full food guide →

1307 Gladstone Ave · $$

Stage Wine Bar

A Fernwood patio with west-facing energy and a regulars' rhythm. Best for a date that should feel like someone knew the city, not like someone searched it.

1011 Fort St · $

Parsonage Cafe

A garden-patio pause rather than a production. Good coffee, enough shade, and the rare feeling that nobody is trying to turn your table.

The fabric

What holds Fernwood together.

The places, organizations, and venues that make this neighbourhood itself.

Belfry Theatre

The neighbourhood's flagship — and one of Canada's most consistent regional theatres.

Fernwood Inn

The unofficial living room; somebody you know is always at the bar.

Fernwood Community Centre

Programming for kids, seniors, and everyone in between.
