Here's this week's round-up of the latest local food and restaurant news...
Openings:
- Both east- and west-enders have new brunch options, with Lady Marmalade (898 Queen Street East) and Mitzi's on College (890 College Street) both opening this past week.
- Sushi District (806 Queen Street East) and Sushi Bar (703 Queen Street East) are now open and competing for the attention of raw fish lovers in the Riverside District.
- The spot vacated by Boba late last year has reopened as "Contemporary Asian" restaurant Zin (90 Avenue Road).
- Nadège Patisserie (780 Queen Street West) is serving up sweets with a side of ooh la la on the eastern edge of Trinity Bellwoods.
- Popular falafel and shawarma chain Ali Baba's has opened their newest location (715 Queen Street West).
- The recently closed Kitchen has been quickly replaced by Brooklynn (1186 Queen Street West), described in a Toronto Life preview as a "boozery with swagger".
- Vegan café Calico (1226 Bloor Street West) is the latest addition to the burgeoning Bloordale area, offering juices, sandwiches, salads and fair trade coffee.
Closings:
- Perhaps the first sign that the gourmet burger craze has run its course: Terra Burger (532 Eglinton Avenue West) has grilled their last organic patty.
Coming Up:
- No word if Les Fauves (501 College Street) will live up to its name, which translates to "The Wild Beasts", but we guess we'll find out when it opens.
- Leslievillians stocking up on cheese and other savoury goodies at Leslieville Cheese Market will soon be able to pop next door to Susie's Patisserie (889 Queen Street East) for something sweet.
