The body of Byblos Uptown, the Yonge Street sister location to the Entertainment District's beloved Byblos, isn't even cold yet after closing its doors on Oct. 20, 2025, but a new venture is already setting up shop. Don't worry, though; the new restaurant doesn't look like it'll be too large a jump from what was there before. Now, set to open to the public exactly a month after its predecessor shuttered, the hospitality company's latest venture, a Greek restaurant called Melani, is waiting in the wings. And sure, while Byblos and Melani's culinary inspirations come from the same coast, the two concepts will still have their key differences. Melani officially opens to the public on Thursday, Nov. 20, and is located at 2537 Yonge St.
