After 50+ years in business, the original Hastings Snack Bar closed down last year when the owner retired. Earlier this year, the tiny diner re-opened with the same name but with new owners – the folks who also own the adjacent Hastings Barber Shop.
Since opening up in Parkdale a year ago, I had been meaning to check out The Commodore (@TheCommodoreBar). But it certainly wasn’t for lack of trying – a primetime reservation is hard to come by.
In recent years, Toronto has seen quite the influx of Vancouver restaurants opening up in the city. Miku (@MikuToronto), a Japanese restaurant specializing in aburi, is another one to add to the growing list.
Since opening in 1989, Paese has been serving up Italian fare in North York for over 25 years.
This gem of a restaurant is one of the newest additions to Leslieville. Located on Queen Street East, between Carlaw and Jones, Greta Solomon’s (@gretasolomons) is serving up delicious french fare which I’d come back for in a heartbeat!
