"While the blazing neon-pink sign above the entryway may not hit your eye like a big pizza pie, it certainly does inform patrons that Little Ese’s pizza game is anything but pretentious. “We’re definitely not a traditional pizza joint,” says Godin. “We’re playing around with our menu—we have some typical items, like mozzarella sticks, but we also make poutine and a killer deep-fried chicken alla vodka sandwich that’s certainly not conventional but is nevertheless very crushable.”

"On Davenport, just west of Ossington and next to a pizza place, is Archi Disegno, a hospitality concept that that wears many hats: it’s a design studio with a retail gallery, a wine club, private residences, a daytime café, a nighttime crudo bar and 1147 Ristorante—what may be the city’s smallest, most exclusive Italian restaurant."

I would love to see a place like Double D's pizza come back. Their pizza was so good. I need deep dish pizza in my life again.

I would much rather see Lime Rickey's come back. There's enough Pho places all over the place.

"This past January, seasoned restaurant flippers Charles Khabouth and Danny Soberano of Ink Entertainment closed the doors to Pink Sky, their swanky King West seafood restaurant. This week, they reopened those very same doors—but this time it’s Vinny, a listening bar that looks like a zhuzhed-up rec room from the ’70s, decked out with vintage speakers, stacks of vinyl records, Persian rugs and a forest’s worth of wood panelling."
"Much like the vibe of the space, the new menu offers a contemporary take on comfort food from around the world. Think mushrooms done in the style of carbonara or hake Kiev, a seafood spin on the classic chicken dish, with pesto butter, silky potato purée and smoked hollandaise."

In 2009, Anthony Bourdain landed in Ho Chi Minh City with his No Reservations film crew to explore Vietnam and its food scene. There, he stumbled upon the late Nguyen Thi Thanh, who ran an unnamed stall selling soup under an umbrella to shade her from the blazing South Asian sun. Her daily soups, like bun mam—a kind of Vietnamese seafood gumbo made with the freshest ingredients hand-picked from the local markets—floored Bourdain. He dubbed her “the lunch lady,” introduced her to the world and changed her life for good.

% Arabica brings its global coffee culture to Sherway Gardens and Square One - Toronto Life
With two new locations, the independent coffee brand from Kyoto brings its uniquely minimalist designs and high-quality brews to the GTA
There’s no shortage of good coffee in the GTA, but few cafés come with the design credentials, cult following and world-travelling charm of % Arabica. The Kyoto-founded brand has officially expanded into Sherway Gardens and Square One, opening its fourth and fifth locations in the GTA, adding two more Instagram–friendly stops to its growing roster of global outposts.
Known for its stripped-back interiors, sharp espresso game and iconic logo, the Japanese coffee chain has become a destination in cities from Paris to Dubai. The draw? A finely tuned experience that blends world-class coffee with meticulous design, minimalist retail and visual storytelling that’s instantly recognizable, whether you’re walking past or scrolling by. These openings follow the brand’s first three Toronto locations—at Union Station, the Eaton Centre and Yorkdale Mall—each one reinforcing % Arabica’s growing presence in the city’s busiest cultural and retail hubs.
Now with two new locations west of Toronto’s downtown core, % Arabica is giving Etobicoke and Mississauga residents even more reason to lean into their latte routines.

The coffee from this spot has been derided by many members here.
I haven't tried it; but I did want to give the place a shot, so last year, I got a lemonade from here. $6 for a glass of sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon juice and a tsp of sugar. It did not have a material taste of lemon, it was neither tart nor sweet....it was bland.
Thumbs down from me
Lemonade, should, like @Towered 's gear be loud, attention-seeking and inspire strong opinions. 'Watery and bland doesn't describe Towered, and ought not to described lemonade.
