There are 2 O&B restaurants opening at the Lightbox.

There is an Earl's going in the Sun Life building. If it's anything like their Square One location, prepare for disappointment with bad service.

Circle Thai at Yonge & Heath is no more. It's now Mr. Thai and half the size. Got some take-away this evening. No complaints.

The Junction Eatery is either now open or about to open. The menu looks pretty good. See y'all at weekend brunch--Dundas St W@Indian Grove.

A coffee shop has opened on Peter Street between Richmond and Queen in the same building that the GAP store occupies. It's in a loading dock space that has been recently rennovated for retail purposes.

The b Espresso Bar chain appears to be expanding with the recently opened RCM location and the soon to be opened Bond Place Hotel location!

Meanwhile, what I really want to see in Toronto: A Chai House-styled cafe.

Coffee is so passé.

5th elementt on Bay has closed up shop, along with a convenience store/ video store next door. In the window of the video store, there is a "coming soon" sign for a Chinese/dim sum restaurant; not sure if it will take up the space of 5th elementt as well.

Bay Street Video is closed??!!

Bay Street Video is closed??!!

No, no. 5th Elementt was farther south, just off of Irwin.

About the 5th Elementt, I don't know why people insist on opening restaurants there. The place is too far from the street, nothing has ever worked there since the complex opened n 1988.

Frans at Scott and Front (in the O & B and Biff's block) is getting closer to opening. The wooden fence has been replaced by a wire one and they are busily working on the exterior. The sign now says "openong soon" and it might be!
