Did that building used to be bigger at one point? It just sort of stops, and isn't "finished" looking.

That's a good question. Pehaps not a bigger building, but another building sharing the wall. Was Church St. ever widened at this location?

The new Trattoria Mercatto at the Eaton Centre is not yet open, but its façade has been revealed. It has a rather industrial look, quite different from their other locations.

New Starbucks at Church & Gerrard is almost ready.
Hmm you'd think Starbucks would clean up the exterior of the building a bit first, no?

I think that is the building owner's responsibility.

It is....but most landlords would do it if a stable, good paying, tenant said "yeah, I wanna lease your space but not until you clean the exterior a bit."

The brick has been parged, it's an attempt at waterproofing.

Maybe mentioned already, but Le Pain Quotidien at Yonge & Yorkville is closed (notice says for bankruptcy). The website has no Canadian locations listed.

Yeah, it's been gone for a little while. The one in the PATH closed earlier - they weren't paying their rent.
Unrelated: I don't know what's going in there, but the vacant bank at the SE corner of Christie & Dupont has a construction permit on the door, saying it's being converted to a restaurant.

Went to Le Gourmand for the first time yesterday. My opinion? Overpriced and not that great. They can't even make a good brownie.
Went to Movenpick Marche for dinner. Really impressed. There was a line to get in, and a line to get out. Mad busy! Thoroughly enjoyed the rosti, fried calamari, chicken stir-fry, and the two desserts we shared. Banana cream pie with cake in the middle, and tiramisu.

New York chef David Chang will open two new Momofuku restaurants in Toronto in 2012:
"Momofuku is indeed opening in Toronto, in a building next to the Shangri-La Hotel in Toronto. We are building a Noodle Bar concept on the first floor and a second restaurant (in the same building on another floor) called Momofuku Daisho. The projected opening date is 2012."

^ I hope they put in this building and build a nice big patio while they're at it. University Ave. is conducive to lots of restaurants with big patios but really has nothing.
