The Dundas West strip is in a constant state of flux, with new shops and restaurants popping up on a regular basis, while older establishments become neighbourhood institutions. Dundas West is a nice blend of Portuguese bakeries, cozy cafes, curated shops and hip bars, creating an eclectic mix of daytime and nighttime activities. The condo boom has yet to hit the strip, allowing Dundas West to keep it's edge.

Right in the middle of Little Portugal between bakeries and soccer bars lies Saudade, a little shop celebrating Portuguese design. Owners Nancy and Connie import goods from Portuguese designers and artisans that blend the old with the new. There’s a little something for everyone from beautiful geometric wool blankets, to unique ceramics to Crème de Rosto face creams. Saudade translates to a wistful longing for a place, person or thing, and even if you’ve never been to Portugal, you’ll want to after visiting this shop.
