Sophie’s bright kitchen near opening at 1614 Bayview Ave.

It’s reported that Sophie’s (kitchen) will open Wednesday. Charming photos on an Instagram account show a bright and homey-looking restaurant. The owners are said to be from Leaside. It seems diner rules will apply with emphasis on breakfast and lunch (shades of Rosie’s). One photo of a gentleman working at the stove is captioned “think Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Braised Steak Sandwich and Freshly Squeezed Charcoal Lemonade.” There is also said to be a dish called “Eggs Bennington” and a “Bayview BLT” (ha ha). Welcome to South Bayview.
