A Toronto restaurant that defined its neighbourhood may have closed its doors permanently after being kicked out by its landlord. Kensington Market is known for a lot of things: thrifting, colourful community atmosphere, tacos, to name only a few. blogTO reached out to Rasta Pasta for further details on the closure and to confirm whether the restaurant is truly gone for good, but did not receive an immediate response. So, it looks like we'll just have to wait and see whether Rasta Pasta can return to Kensington Market. Rasta Pasta Kensington Market was located at 61 Kensington Ave.
