One of Toronto's busiest and buzziest neighbourhoods is reaching new heights with the addition of two new restaurants this summer.
This summer in particular has given the area an extra breath of life, as two new restaurants have moved in on the south side of Queen West, just steps from the park, and are drumming up significant buzz of their own.
Little Ese, a new concept from Pnut Gallery Hospitality, the team behind Ossington's Papi Chulo's and Aleria on Queen West.
While West Queen West is no stranger to top-notch cuisine, Plush Cafe and Bar sits right on the boundary, bridging the gap with an accessible menu of elevated cuisine.
Little Ese can be found at 875 Queen St. W., in the corner space that was held for years by Noce, while Plush is at the very long-vacant 897 Queen St. W. a bit down the street.
