Restaurant Comings & Goings

[deerparker]

Capocaccia (a Deer Park favourite of mine) has announced they are expanding into Rosedale by taking over the former Lakes where they will be opening a new resto called Capo. Down the street, Globe Bistro from the Danforth has taken over the space at 1055 Yonge where they are opening Earth.

Was that an underground parking at one time?

It was previously Bumpkins - they moved to Gloucester some time ago.

Shoeless Joe's is moving into Leaside, at the corner of Laird and Eglinton. They are to occupuy the same space that once held Eglinton Fish and Chips and Domino's.

It will be interesting to see how well the resto does in that location. I personally think that Shoeless Joe's only notable feature is its patio (from what I recall of King West and Eglinton W and Chaplin) and I can't picture how one being built out on to Eglinton, or being allowed behind the restaurant.

The old (and VERY empty/old/dated) diner at the corner of Cherry and Commissioners closed about a year ago. Now they have gutted the building and a sign says "Cherry Restaurant Opening Soon".

Couldn't agree more. Unless they can work out some sort of a rooftop patio, but aren't there residences above the ground level there?

Is there sufficient parking in the rear of that building to accomodate the patrons?

It'll be interesting, and since I live in the area I'm not going to complain about another place to eat, though I'm not even sure I've ever been to a Joe's before.

The new Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen is just about ready at Yonge near Wellesley

I just went past it - all the furniture's in it. Stoked for a Popeye's Chicken in the neighborhood again. I still have my Popeye's discount card from Korea (doesn't work here, but its a testament to how much I loves me some horrifically unhealthy food).

A second location for Red Rocket Coffee is opening up in the bottom of Verve. It'll be a little bit isolated, but there's not much real competition around it so it might be ok.

The rest of Verve's retail has "Leased" signs on it as well, but no indication of what's going in yet

I read on another thread that it's going to be a Rabba and a dry cleaner.

 

[whatever]

It might be, but that's also the running gag that every condo gets a Rabba, a dry cleaners, a Subway, or a Second Cup.

There's also a Hero Burger coming to the village:

Not sure what it's replacing tho. I wouldn't want to lose the Wine Rack or the Lettieri

 

[deerparker]

Hero and Lettieri were both founded by John Lettieri and are often combined (like the Yonge & St. Clair location). Perhaps Hero is replacing the Lettieri in the Village?

Sorry if this has already been posted:

"Canada’s first offshoot of American Miami Subs Pizza and Grill closed after barely two months of offending passersby with one of Queen Street’s tackiest storefronts."

I wouldn't mind them taking over the Country Style next door and making a big Hero/Lettieri.

Yes but then where would all the sketchy people who congregate there get their coffee?
