Nord Lyon

Handcrafted French food will be coming to Queen and Bathurst in October with a restaurant by this business that's also a lunch bar. Expect regional recipes, cheeses and wine.

This concept from the Planta family serving Mexican-influenced cuisine and plenty of tequila and mezcal is taking over The Chase Fish & Oyster location in the Financial District in late September.

Stock Bar

The restaurant component of this massive project by Terroni and Cumbrae's near Yonge and Eglinton should be opening in early October. An impressive grocer section with pizza, pasta, burgers, booze and coffee is already open.

Vela

This restaurant from the people behind Bar Raval and Alo is coming to a historical building around King and Portland in late October, and with design by award-winning Partisans not only the food but the interior should be absolutely jaw-dropping.

O'somae

Bom-Bay Snack Bar

On Sept. 24, the former home of Egg Bird (don't worry, it's relocating downtown) on Bayview will turn into this halal spot by restaurateur Hemant Bhagwani (Popa, Goa) that he describes as an Iranian cafe "with an Indian heart."

Oji Seichi

East Chinatown will soon become home to this restaurant that says it will be "where traditional ramen meets local ingredients."
