A Bulldog tipster has commented on our recent Bayview Biz update, stating that “I heard a rumour (from a fairly reliable source) that this will be a walk-in doctor’s office”. That sounds like a very welcome addition to the street. Thank you for the tip! We’ll keep an eye on the space and let you know if the rumours are confirmed.

Verdi, Bayview’s stalwart Italian restaurant at 1566 Bayview Avenue has been rebranded as Buono Ristorante. The kitchen has been renovated and front of house refreshed. Looking good!

The extra large space that was formerly home to macFAB at 1685 Bayview Avenue appears to be leased. All the windows have been papered over, but there are no hints about who may be moving in. Let the guessing game begin! …let us know if you have any tips 😉

The much anticipated Mirage Mediterranean Restaurant at 1620 Bayview Avenue is open for business. Their official grand opening should take place in the coming days, stay tuned for updates. We should mention that The Bulldog tried their lentil soup for lunch today with some freshly baked barbari bread straight from their oven. It was fabulous! Looking forward to going back for dinner.

Down the road at 1560a Bayview Avenue, The Daughter Natural Wine Bar & Bottle Shop held their grand opening on November 23rd. A unique establishment on Bayview that would be ideal for catching up with friends for a light dinner while enjoying some adult beverages. Cheers!

Decorators were working overtime on Friday evening preparing the scene for Saturday’s Gift and Shop Local event, brought to you by the merchants of the Bayview-Leaside BIA.

Ramona’s Kitchen continues to work hard preparing 1608 Bayview Ave for their new restaurant. The building’s façade was recently refreshed, waiting for some new signage. Walking south and looking up to the top floor of 1578 Bayview Ave, Gold Hollow is now open for business! Safe body piercing, custom tattooing and fine body jewelry is what the sign says. You can see a 360° view of their new digs on Instagram here. At the corner of Belsize Dr., we can see that the lower level of 1560a Bayview Avenue is nearing completion. The Daughter Natural Wine Bar and Bottle Shop looks like they’re just about ready to open their doors. A peek into their windows after the sun set revealed dozens of bottles of vino ready for us to enjoy. A sign says that they’re hiring — see the picture above for details. Welcome to Bayview everyone!

Oh my! Above seasonal temperatures and sunny skies are the perfect October treat after the chilly week we just experienced. What a fantastic opportunity to go shopping or enjoy a patio on our beloved Bayview Avenue! Cheers!
