Coming Soon: The One Eighty

The now defunct Panorama Lounge is being reinvented into a fantastic new restaurant, The One Eighty. It's set to open up sometime this upcoming spring. I have been to Panorama Lounge a couple of times in the past, and the skyline view of Toronto from the 51st floor of the Manulife Centre was really beautiful. The One Eighty is owned and operated by Canada’s award-winning restaurant, event management, and catering brand, Eatertainment. It is going to be both a restaurant and cocktail lounge located in downtown Yorkville.



The location boasts a "spectacular 180-degree-view of the city’s skyline making it the city’s premiere celebratory destination." The name of the upcoming establishment is a reference to the 180-degree-view of the city, and reflects the approach to the new food menu that they will be offering. Additionally, the restaurant is 3,000 sq. ft, and can accommodate over "90 guests for sit-down dining and up to 250 guests for cocktail receptions and events." (source: rockit promo)

“We are introducing a unique approach to dining unlike any other in Canada, and bringing the culinary experience to a whole new level, with The One Eighty,” said Sebastien Centner, President and CEO of Eatertainment. “Guests will love The One Eighty’s new contemporary and luxurious décor, highlighting the incredible views of the city, but our real focus is on creating an outstanding menu that pushes the boundaries of innovation while remaining highly accessible.”

Coming Soon: Guu Izakaya

Guu Izakaya is expanding, and will be opening up their third location uptown. This location will be located at Yonge and Sheppard. According to Post City, the new location will have about 80 seats inside and an additional 70 on the patio. This is great news as the warm weather is quickly approaching Toronto. 

Coming Soon: Lucky Red

Lucky Red didn't really have much luck when it first launched in 2015 due to the influx of Chinese restaurants in Chinatown. However, they're planning on re-launching as a dine in restaurant, and the grand re-opening is set to be this Tuesday, March 17, 2015.

 Coming Soon: Miku

Miku is a very popular high end sushi bar from Vancouver, and they're coming to Toronto this summer (date is TBA).
