A Toronto restaurant that has been a neighbourhood staple for the past 25 years has officially closed for good.
In the case of the Junction Triangle, one such staple, since 1998 anyway, has been Piri Piri Grill.
"After more than 25 incredible years, Piri Piri Grill has closed its doors," a post on the restaurant's Instagram account reads.
While it's never pleasant to see an old favourite bite the dust, Toronto can at least rest easy knowing that this isn't the last we'll see from the people behind Piri Piri Grill.
Piri Piri Grill was formerly located at 1444 Dupont Ave.
