After nearly two decades, the Moxies restaurant at Yorkdale Shopping Centre is closing its doors.
Open since February 2007 at one of Toronto’s busiest malls, Moxies served nearly two million customers in its longstanding run. Moxie’s last day will be Saturday, Jan. 17.
Sadly, Moxies isn’t the only restaurant in the city bidding farewell this year. A new study out of Dalhousie University’s Agri-Food Analytics Lab predicts over 4,000 restaurants could go out of business this year.
Below is a list of Toronto restaurants shuttering in 2026:
