Bayview Biz: New restaurants to wine & dine now open!
by •
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.
We just experienced the Mirage on Bayview. It was outstanding. Love the new decor and the authentic menu had us feeling we were in Lebanon. Such a wonderful treasure in the ‘hood! It is a Persian delight!John O., Bulldog Reader, Dec. 7th, 2022
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!
Drop in to The Daughter for beautiful snacks and small plates available all day. Recommended pairing, natural wine and great company of course 🍷✨!The Daughter Wine Bar, @thedaughter_toronto on Instagram
