THIS JUST IN:
An “elevated” “fine dining” experience is touching down in Mississauga soon. Andaaz Restaurant (3900 Grand Park Dr., Unit E1) - part social kitchen and bar - “brings the vibrant flavours of India to life with a modern twist, offering a dining experience unlike any other.” The new spot is set to debut February 4.
Korean fusion destinations are on the rise. The latest to join the ranks? Tiger Blues at Queen and Niagara (811 Queen St. W.) in Three Monks and a Duck’s previous stomping grounds. Doors open today.
In recent years, a popular landing spot for restaurants looking to expand their reach outside the city limits has been Oakville: Sotto Sotto, Goodfellas, Blondies Pizza, Pilot Coffee Roasters, and last year, Laylak and Fresh Kitchen + Juice Bar, to name a few. Psst. Also making the move? Local Middle Eastern chain Tabule (234 Lakeshore Rd.). Stay tuned.
From the folks behind Aleria and Papi Chulo’s comes Little Ese. The new rendezvous for pizza, pasta, wings, burgers and cocktails is slated to open this Spring, in the Queen West digs where Noce stood until recently (875 Queen St. W.).
After eight years Oliver & Bonacini’s Liberty Commons at Big Rock Brewery (42 Liberty St.) is coming to an end. The Liberty Village stalwart is to close as of February 16, 2025.
