Set in the heart of Toronto’s entertainment district at Mercer St, Buonanotte is an Italian dining destination that combines a lively nightlife experience with great Italian dishes, perfect for sharing.

Now open on popular Ossington Avenue is the highly anticipated Borealia Restaurant. It’s a warm, intimate setting which takes a unique approach in both the decor and the menu with inspiration from a time when immigrant groups arrived in Canada in the 18th and 19th centuries. It’s thoughtfully-Canadian cuisine like you’ve never tried before.
New sushi and cocktail destination, BarFish, has now opened replacing what used to be the outdoor bar of Blowfish restaurant at the north east corner of King and Bathurst. Cocktails and sushi are at the forefront of this intimate and chic space with sky high ceilings.
