Thanks for the heads up, @theleverage
I tried Daisy May’s today. Thanks for the heads up! I’ll be back.

They serve lamb shashlik (skewers), as well as chicken shashlik and pork shashlik, which I haven’t seen too often in Toronto.
Open at lunch and dinner, and they offer take-out.

The iconic Cantonese Wok-Hay Specialist - Maple Yip has re-opened as 'Maple’s Kitchen ’ at Brimley and 14th Avenue!
The people who own Côte de Boeuf and Union are taking over the space where By The Way Café had been located at Bloor and Brunswick.
It will offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I am glad there will be a higher food quality food option on that stretch of the Annex again. Apart from Nadege and Simit-Chi, most of the current restaurants operating on Bloor between Spadina and Bathurst aim at the cheap, cheerful and fast client base.
Follow-up to share that they’ve now opened and are accepting resos. I’ve messaged asking for a menu to take a look at, nothing on their website or IG yet.
That seems to be a trend with restaurant openings these days along with oh so many other dodgy practices. For this girl: no menu, no prices, no dice.
Agree … esp since I need dietary accommodations and want to know what’s available for me. It seems so many new places have IG only.
I get really frustrated with places that only have Instagram and not a proper website. My wife and I are not on Instagram and don’t plan to be, so we can’t view what people post there. When I have looked via other people’s accounts, I find the information really lacking - often no menu or information about hours.
Nice might try it soon as close by
So, a new seafood place with 2 of the three Entrees serving ‘snow crab’ - which is currently ‘out-of-season’ in Canada!
Now, I understand why no website.
But, of course, the proof will be in the ‘tasting’ - but I’ll let someone else do the research!
Hahaha. You rule Estufarian.
Walked by seahorse today. They do have minimalist website now and a menu posted at the door. Will probably visit soon
Formerly 156 Cumberland restaurant that closed down in December 2024 has finally reopened (with liquor licence!) as OneFiveSix restaurant at 1100 Queen Street West. Food at this Korean-French fusion restaurant was excellent, earning the coveted Michelin Recommended 2022-2024 when they were at their Yorkville location and I expect they’ll regain this recognition next year. We have made a reservation & will post a review soon. Congrats to MJ and Jen!
Brasserie Cote by Cote de Boeuf are opening in Annex at 400 bloor West. Dec 2025 target
