A World of Flavor in Restaurant Choices
The Tuscany-Canterbury neighborhood provides the best of city living in a vibrant and centrally-located community that includes a variety of restaurants within walking distance. There is a Mediterranean restaurant, an Indian cuisine, a vegan only menu, some that will deliver, several with cozy fireplaces and others with outside terraces. You can always find one that has breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, or Happy Hour within a very short walk.
TCNA is committed to promoting our five local businesses: Cypriana, The Ambassador, One World Café, Hopkins Market, and Alizee). Their success is essential to the vitality of our neighborhood. The expression “feet on the street” describes urban living at its best as residents can walk to parks, work, school, and dine at local restaurants.
To show our appreciation and support for our restaurants, TCNA purchased and delivered flower arrangements by Local Color Flowers to our fabulous five businesses for all their efforts to remain open and nourish us during these past two challenging years. We wish them a bright future as we shed our masks and welcome spring.

From the Baltimore Banner Review:
Who doesn’t love a new bakery? I was happy to hear of the arrival of Kanom Cafe to 3811 Canterbury Rd., just by the Ambassador Dining Room.
The only hard part during a recent visit was deciding what to order. I went with the cube-shaped monkey bread — filled with decadent dark chocolate — and freshly made blueberry cheesecake. The best thing we ate this week.
