Here's this week's round-up of the latest local food and restaurant news...
Openings:
- Guru Coffee (2741 Danforth Avenue) is the city's newest (for this week, at least) fair trade and organic coffee shop. Look for them in the plaza next to Canadian Tire east of Main.
- Albert Dayan tells Ryerson student paper The Eyeopener that he and co-owner Claude Harroch hope to "attract both Bay Street bigwigs and Ryerson students" to Tatami Sushi (335A Yonge Street), an off-shoot of their Montreal chain that will be opening soon at Yonge & Gould.
Changes:
- The Spice Trader & The Olive Pit are moving a couple of blocks to 877 Queen Street West, the space that held Madras Pantry for a few months last year.
Coming Up:
- Hot Wings Grill & Rib House (563 Queen Street West) will be opening soon at the address where Miami Subs Pizza & Grill was open for less than two months last fall. Here's hoping they have better luck.
- The former church on the northeast corner of Queen and Dovercourt will soon be a bar called The Saxony (1090 Queen Street West).
- The owners of Joy Bistro and Reggie's Sandwiches will be opening South of Temperance - not to be confused with Toronto Temperance Society - later this year in the Financial District.
- Our Grub (1285 Bloor Street West) will be taking over from vintage greasy spoon Dale Restaurant & Tavern at the still sketchy but slowly gentrifying corner of Bloor and Lansdowne.
