Toronto Hydro reported that the outage bordered Eglinton East, Lake Shore Boulevard, Yonge Street and Victoria Park.
Hydro officials said the issue was due to a loss of power supply from Hydro One.
Toronto Hydro said power was restored just after 8 a.m. The cause of the outage is still undetermined.
