Name: Punch
Contact: Hotel Le Germain, 30 Mercer St., punchtoronto.com
Neighbourhood: Entertainment District
Previously: Victor
Chef: Mandar Kulkarni
Owners: Le Germain Family
Accessibility: Fully accessible
Hotel Le Germain Toronto and its former restaurant, Victor, were once the only reason to wander down the quiet stretch of Mercer Street. But, since Nobu’s arrival, the block has found new life. Rather than viewing the buzz as competition, the Germain family welcomed it.
“We wanted to open a restaurant that could add value to a growing community,” says GM Jean-Philip Dupré. “There was nothing wrong with Victor—it could have kept going—but it was a classic French bistro. We wanted to create something that made an impact.”

Looks like they are also opening another location at Yonge and Eglinton at the base of eCondo...next to McDonald's!
That intersection is crowded with cafes lmao!

Any cozy ones?? I'm not often in that area. It's north of Bloor.

One can't help but note the use of a .jp Japanese domain when the company isn't even from there (though I must note they didn't use .co.jp instead).

This is too stark and sterile for my liking.
Even if the coffee is fabulous. .
The problem is if I wanted to drink coffee at a place like that, I wouldn't want other people populating it and messing up the minimalist vibe.

I totally share that sentiment.
I also don't want to interact with the barista either - much less having one yelling my name out when my drink is ready. I think we need private coffee booths for having java in blissful silence. Now that's an idea.

You're going to love it when we're eventually inundated with Chinese chains.
