To celebrate its second anniversary, Poutini’s House of Poutine (1112 Queen West, at Beaconsfield, 647-342-3732, poutini.com) offers a two-for-one special Sunday (June 12). The deep-fried deal runs from noon to 9 pm.
Speaking of spuds, Smoke’s Poutinerie (490 Bloor West, at Albany, 416-588-2873, smokespoutinerie.com) has just opened another late-night pit stop in the former Annex outpost of Chippy’s.
No no, Negroni
Sidecar’s William Sweete and Casey Bee are shuttering nearby sister resto Negroni this weekend. The one-time Ukula, Honey Kaffe, Airport Lounge and Fruition relaunches Tuesday (June 14) as Carpano (492 College, at Palmerston, 416-413-0005) after a quick reno.
Kendall Collingridge (ex-Crush, Buca, Le Petit Castor and very briefly Parkette) now helms the kitchen. Though Sweete describes the new dinner menu as “Italian, but not strictly,” the lunch lineup will include the signature panini and peanut butter ice cream that put sandwich spot Negroni on the local foodie map in the first place.
