52 h. ago Here's what replaced Toronto fine dining restaurant that closed in under a year

A fine dining restaurant in Toronto has closed its doors after less than a year, and it's already been replaced.Sigh. We know that not everything's built to last, but we had a good feeling about short-lived farm-to-table restaurant The Lost Land.A collaboration between Larry Feldmeier, chef de cuisine at Chicago's Oriole, a two-Michelin-star force, Pidapipo Gelato owner Edison Xue, and chef Cesar Karanapakorn of Judaline and Florette, the restaurant came with some serious promise.Still, it opened quietly to mixed reviews before, just months later, shuttering just as quietly as it arrived.It's not all bad news, though, because, just as swiftly as The Lost Land came and went, it's already been replaced, and its usurper looks just as promising.Now, the space at 146 Yonge St. is home to Bar Filo, a stylish Italian cocktail bar and restaurant, which opened its doors at the beginning of September.The name Filo, the Bar Filo team told ...

3 d. ago Dogs saved from testing lab at Ontario hospital will soon go up for adoption

A group of dogs recently saved from an animal testing facility that was secretly — and shockingly — housed in an Ontario hospital will soon be among the most eligible adoptable pets in the province.Citizens were appalled when news broke last month that scientists at St. Joseph's Health Care in London had been surreptitiously experimenting on pups, forcing them to undergo hours-long heart attacks and eventually killing them in the name of cardiac research.Staff from the medical facility's Lawson Research Institute did their best to hide evidence of the dogs, many of whom were under a year old, going as far as disguising discarded animal food bags and blasting music to cover the noise, according to an Investigative Journalism Bureau exposé that ran in the National Post in early August.Following condemnation from animal activist groups, Premier Doug Ford and the general public, the hospital announced on August 11 t...

3 d. ago Here's why a Toronto bar was forced to close after just over one year

A Toronto bar is closing permanently, a little over a year after opening, due to economic pressures and upcoming construction disruptions.Duke's Refresher, the arcade bar-lite chain by Service Inspired Restaurants (SIR), the hospitality team behind such hits as Scaddabush and Jack Astor's, has existed in Toronto, in various capacities, for over a decade.It once existed at the intersection of Yonge and Gerrard before moving to its popular St. Lawrence Market haunt and, in the spring of 2024, expanded eastward, taking over the Riverside location that, before Duke's, housed the Brickworks Ciderhouse.Before that, it was home to the original location of The Real Jerk. Some might call the space auspicious. Others could call it unlucky.For the case of Duke's, which opened for business in May of 2024, the location is, seemingly, the latter, as Service Inspired Restaurants confirms in a statement that Duke's Refresher Riverside is slated to shutter this month.&q...
