The team behind two of the top restaurants in Toronto is gearing up to open yet another, and it may just be totally different from their typical bread-and-butter. As far as French cuisine in Toronto goes, real-life couple Carmelina Imola and Zachary Kolomeir, cofounders of Dreyfus and Taverne Berhnardt's (as well as their sandwich shop, Vilda's), have firmly planted their flag. In any event, Toronto is about to get an entirely new culinary venture from Zachary and Carmelina, as they recently took to their Instagram to announce a brand-new restaurant coming soon. Following in the naming tradition of their other two restaurants — Dreyfus gets its name from the Dreyfus affair, an anti-semitic scandal that took place in late 19th century France and Bernhardt's from legendary Jewish-French stage actress, Sarah Bernhardt, N.L. Ginzburg has yet to be announced, but the restaurant is currently hiring, so the wait shouldn't be much longer.
