Keriwa Cafe (1690 Queen St. W.) will be opening in May, with a focus on local, seasonal food with an Aboriginal twist.
Uncle Betty's Diner (2590 Yonge St.) will also have comfort food on the menu, but think more traditional diner fare like hot dogs, ice cream and burgers. They're planning a soft opening in early May.
The Combine Eatery is under construction on the Danforth near Broadview. No word on what they'll be serving, but one of the co-owners is Amy Chow, who used to own the now-defunct True Restaurant in Yorkville which specialized in local and organic cuisine.
Against the Grain (25 Dockside Dr.) pub will be opening in the Corus Entertainment building this spring. It's owned by F.A.B. Concepts Inc. who also own Brazen Head Irish Pub and the Foggy Dew.
If you live in Riverdale you may know Amy of the Combine Eatery as the better half of Cam - renowned mechanic and owner of Cam's Thruway Muffler on King Street East.
Good luck Amy! We will certainly be over to check out your new diggs.
Thank you for wishing The Combine Eatery good luck!
ReplyDeleteThe food will be southwestern. COMBINATION of burritos, fish tacos, and other comfort foods like poutine, lobster fritters and much more..
One little note: Amy Chow of The Combine is not the same Amy Chow who opened True.
Hope to see you there when the doors open!
