Here are new restaurants in Toronto that opened in September.

Move over Cora, there’s a new diner for snug homefries. Yet another Quebec-born breakfast franchise has landed in Toronto, this time in Etobicoke, with massive plates of red velvet pancakes and eggs Benny.
After more than three years of massive renos, luxury hotel Park Hyatt finally reopened last month. Main floor restaurant Joni is offering an fancy bistro food for your fine dining needs.
The list of Indonesian restaurants downtown is tiny but it’s growing. Joining the fold is Nusa Dua, or N2, on Bathurst. You’ll want to eat your way through this menu of rendang wraps, mie goreng, perkedel and wings marinated with rica rica.
Panang curry and basil stir-fry are on the menu at this new Thai spot on Brown’s Line. Thai Barn Na has just opened its dining room with a menu that also includes halal, vegan and gluten-free options.
Cafe Cancan is officially no more. The pretty pink house on Harbord has been revamped into a tiny extension of Piano Piano next door with Neapolitan pizza, small plates and cocktails on tap.
Replacing Roncy’s strip mall favourite for sashimi and nigiri are new tenants doing largely the same concept, but more aburi. Sake’s hit the ground running with lunch special combos and off-beat offerings like salmon bocconcini caprese.
One of Korea’s biggest hog dog brands—the original brand, allegedly—has launched its first ever Toronto shop in North York. It gave away 1,000 free hot dogs during opening weekend along with their famous croquettes with fillings like kimchi, curry and spicy chicken.
The Gladstone Hotel is now the Gladstone House. The 132-year-old building has reopened with a new name and interior following a takeover by the same folks who revamped the Broadview Hotel. The all-day lobby bar is now open with beef carpaccio and pan-roasted trout on the menu.
