US-based plant-based restaurant chain by CHLOE. has secured a space in Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre, which will open this fall. A second Toronto location will open next year in Toronto’s Financial District as by CHLOE. gains a foothold in the Canadian market that could see more locations open in other markets.
....
Yorkdale’s by CHLOE. will be feature the brand’s signature dining menu as well as market specials that change with the season, grab-and-go options, and fresh-baked sweets. The menu will be 100% plant-based with gluten-free and soy-free options available. An exclusive “Toronto by CHLOE.” menu will be featured at the Yorkdale location and it will be inspired by “classic Canadian dishes and local ingredients”.

Popular meal options include the Guac Burger, Quinoa Taco Salad, and Pesto Meatball. The ‘Sweets by CHLOE.’ line will also be carried at the Yorkdale locations as well as a collection of house-made, dairy-free ice creams and sorbets called ‘Chill by CHLOE’.

The interior will include colourful stripped banquettes and tiled tabletops, as well as Toronto-inspired neon signage, swing chairs, and bathroom wallpapers.

Woodhouse Brewing Taking Over Former Lot 30 Brewers Location in Toronto

Woodhouse Brewing is planning to open its brewpub at 303 Lansdowne Ave. in October following renovations which are currently underway.

 
Yeah. I wonder if they'll be sharing the space and handling the food, like North of Brooklyn at Get Well Bar, That would be an upgrade for the bar, but the Carlaw location was extremely kid-friendly, next to Sprouts play gym and with ample stroller room.

Looks like chef Dave Mottershall's Loka Snacks, which was running out of Hi-Lo, has shut down and he's moved to Charlottetown. I suspect Mean Bao will be filling the void.

Is it not going to be next door to Hi-Lo, where the short lived Caribbean place was? Loka Snacks has been gone forever from there....
 
Oh yeah, you're right. It's next door.

Caribbean Sunset was pretty good, too. It was a drag when that closed.
 
Yang's Braised Chicken Rice, a Chinese restaurant chain with over 6,000 locations worldwide, will be opening 7 stores in the GTA on September 20th, 2019.
