A longstanding barbecue restaurant in Toronto has closed after 15 years, and a new business is already set to move in.It's official: 2025 has seen Leslieville's food scene enter a state of complete flux. While beloved institutions like Ascari Enoteca, Greta Solomon's and Samaira's Kitchen — not to mention the century-old Reliable Fish & Chips in late 2024 — have gracefully bowed out of the neighbourhood, a flurry of new eateries have opened up shop.While Ascari and Samaira's usurpers have yet to make themselves known, the old Greta Solomon space is now home to Bar Mini, a chic snack and cocktail bar appealing to the neighbourhood's burgeoning young-and-hip population, and Reliable Fish & Chips has been replaced by a sister location of Dovercourt Village staple Masa Deli.All of this is to say that, as painful as the loss of longstanding local staples can be, with the businesses that have recently moved in, Leslieville just so happens to be ...
