Szchewan Szchewan clossed their dining room at the end of 2013. They were going to keep food court business though.
Interesting. I wonder which restaurants they are talking about? That space where the Cactus Club has been allegedly going has not had any signs of life for months.
Both restaurant and retail: Italian food concept Eataly will open in Toronto - we're waiting to get confirmation of its exact address: http://www.retail-insider.com/2014/02/eataly-will-bring-its-innovative.html
Cool your pasta maker. It ain't happening anytime in the near future. And my guess is that they will choose Montreal before Toronto.
PHP:
Do you have any inside info or are you just playing the tired 'Montreal is more cultured/cooler/grand/etc than Toronto' card? The reason I ask is that a few years ago Mario Batali mentioned his ten year plan for Eataly was for locations in DC, LA, Mexico City and Toronto - no mention of Montreal.
Like Joe would say on MasterChef, EMG it's time for you to take off that apron.....LOL.....well they are definately considering Toronto, above and beyond any other market in Canada.

The other problem with entering Quebec first is cost of entry. Since all computer systems, training materials, etcetera etc must be available in French, it can be a huge roadblock.
