Minh Chau Optical

  • 305 Spadina Ave. (at Dundas St. W.) • View on map »
  • 416-979-1828
Surrounded by Chinatown’s discount outlets, this stylish optical store is a real find. The assortment of frames is tasteful and remarkably diverse, ranging from conservative (a wide selection of lightweight, frameless Lindbergs) to flamboyant (a chunky rhinestone-studded pair by Versace, $280), with low-key cool (most items by Prada) thrown into the mix. Rarities include frames by Japan’s Kio Yamato, Denmark’s ProDesign, Ic! Berlin and Chrome Hearts. Sunglasses run the gamut from Dior to indestructible sports specs from Oakley.
