A somewhat short-lived Toronto restaurant from a celebrity chef has officially been replaced after suddenly shutting down this spring. Now we have our answer: AP Restaurant is out, and Scale Hospitality's newest venture, a Middle Eastern restaurant called Mar'aa, is in. As for brunch, the menu boasts a complete selection of classics invigorated with Middle Eastern culinary influence. Think Za'atar Lox, Shakshuka and a Middle Eastern Fry-Up with eggs, halloumi, beef, bacon and potatoes. If there's one thing we know for sure about Scale Hospitality, it's that they know how to do a restaurant that'll get people talking.
