New Toronto restaurants: Borrel, Gold Standard, Sukhothai, Green Room, Jules Bistro, Pomarosa, Banh Mi Boys

Downtown

• As we previously reported, Aloette is now open at 192 Spadina (at Queen), right below sister restaurant Alo.
• Loveably grody student watering hole the Green Room is moving after several decades in the Annex, and will be replacing Crown & Tiger at 414 College (at Lippincott).
• Sweet Jesus is opening in a mall. Which mall? All the malls. All of them.
• The Sukhothai in the Canary District has finally opened (490 Front East, at Cherry).
• Fake Taco is a new outfit offering vegan tacos exclusively through Foodora and other delivery apps on October 25. (It’s not a restaurant, but more vegan tacos are never a bad thing.) 

North

• Banh Mi Boys is movin’ on up to York University with a new location inside the QUAD (95 The Pond, at Sentinel).

East

• The Danforth is going Dutch with the impending arrival of Borrel (1333 Danforth, at Lamb), a new restaurant by the folks behind the Borrel pop-up series.
• The new Jules Bistro is open in the former home of Edward Levesque’s Kitchen in Leslieville (1290 Queen East, at Hastings).
• Pomarosa is a stylish new coffee shop and Latin American lunch spot at 1504 Danforth (at Monarch Park).
• RIP Ashdale Brunch and Espresso (1560 Queen East, at Ashdale), home of a very good breakfast polenta situation that I will hold forever in my heart.

West

• Gold Standard, a breakfast sandwich spot by the Federal, is open on Neepawa Ave., right behind Reunion Coffee at 385 Roncesvalles (at Lynd).
