Scarborough Neighbourhood Guide — Toronto

Explore Scarborough in Toronto: The real multicultural Toronto — Hakka Chinese, Sri Lankan kottu, Jamaican jerk, and the Bluffs

Scarborough is the most underrated part of Toronto — a vast eastern district that contains the city's most dramatic natural landscape (the Scarborough Bluffs) and its most diverse and genuinely good food scene. The Tamil, Sri Lankan, Chinese, Caribbean, and South Asian communities that make up Scarborough's population have built restaurant corridors that rival any multicultural dining destination in North America. Most Torontonians who live downtown have barely scratched the surface; most who move here don't want to leave.
