Restaurant Comings & Goings

Finally, the ever vacant space at 1 King West has been filled by Marc Thuet's cafe concept, Petite Thuet. Lots of soup, salad and sandwich options available for lunch and brunch in a tall, bright and colourful space. It's not a spacious room, but for those who do manage to get a seat, it's a far less noisy (or smelly) and busy space than the Starbucks across the street.

I went in for a bathroom run today since the ol' bladder was about to blow. Looks really nice. I felt bad because I didn't buy anything, but the $33 jam perhaps tells me that I'm not in the income bracket they are looking to as a typical customer. I wonder how much better that jam is than the really nice "Twice-the-fruit" stuff the President's Choice has. It better be 10 times as nice, because it costs 10 as much.

Word is they're opening at 398 Church Street!

I think that's the address of the parking lot just south of The Barn. Correct?

Speaking of dining options in the Gaybourhood, has anyone been to the "dark dining" establishment O Noir yet?

It's where Sushi Plaza used to be.

Ahhh, too bad its in one of downtown's only strip malls.

Guu sounds a little bit like Ematei (on McCaul), but a bit closer to the bar end of the spectrum. Does seem like a strange spot for it tho. I wonder if they're going to market it as a gay bar

No biggie, but Ematei is actually on St. Patrick, not McCaul.

Shoeless Joe's is moving to the retail base of Minto's Radiance Phase 1 on Sheppard Ave. E., East of Yonge St.

Yep, you're absolutely right, I always mix the streets up in my head

Big surprise, but craptacularly filthy Mel's is history!

Unlike this girl today, I'm not surprised that Second Cup on Roncevalles is history either!

The best joint in Yuckville? Maybe, except they have bland Illy coffee.

You know things are bad when you're told to replevy your chattels.

Yeah I hated it when I was a kid and my mom would threaten to replevy my chattels.

 

[bAuHaUs]

Writ of replevin anyone?

Haha, I was about to post about the deliciously old fashioned language used in that notice. Why not update legal language a bit so people understand what the heck you're trying to tell them?

Lawyers gotta eat, too.
