The Newest Restaurants in Yorkville, Compared: Aegean Supper Clubs, Ramen Counters and Omakase

Yorkville's dining scene keeps turning over. In the last year or so, new rooms have opened above the Cumberland Street boutiques, on Yorkville Avenue and on the 51st floor of the Manulife Centre. This guide compares the newcomers that local food press has covered, so you can match the right one to your evening. Openings change quickly, so check hours and reservations directly before you go.

For a big night out: Paros and Mar'aa

Streets of Toronto describes PAROS, at 119 Yorkville Ave., as an Aegean-inspired supper club with a shareable menu that includes zucchini chips, ouzo-flamed saganaki and grilled kalamari. It has a gold-toned patio and a dark lounge, and comes from the team behind Parc Ave and Future Nightclub. Expect a lively, social evening rather than a quiet one.

Mar'aa, on the 51st floor of the Manulife Centre, is a Middle Eastern restaurant from Scale Hospitality, the group behind Byblos, Lapinou and Miss Likklemore's. It took over the space previously held by AP, the Antonio Park concept. Choose it when the view and the occasion matter as much as the plate.

For noodles and Japanese craft: Ramen Tabetai, MSSM and Yakitori Momji

Chef Masaki Saito's Ramen Tabetai, at 154 Cumberland St., serves Jiro-style ramen with thick, chewy noodles and tonkotsu broth seasoned with a custom soy sauce; it sits above his MSSM sushi restaurant. Yorkville Village's own coverage describes MSSM as an edomae-style omakase with a 14-course menu overseen by Saito. Next door in the same corridor, Yakitori Momji at 156 Cumberland St. is billed by Stephanie Dickison's restaurant-news roundup as Toronto's first Japanese yakitori omakase, with counter seating for 12 and a 15-course price listed at $248. Ramen is the casual option; the two omakase counters are special-occasion spending.

For small bites and drinks: The One Caviar Bar and Salt and Sand

The One Caviar Bar pairs caviar from purveyors such as Imperial Crystal with oysters, calamari and crab, and Streets of Toronto reported a 10g tin starting at $40 while it was in soft launch. Salt and Sand, at 92 Avenue Rd. on the second floor above SPQR Espresso Bar, is listed as a gourmet food and wine spot. Both suit a shorter, drink-led evening.

For steak and spring 2027: Salt Grass & Rare and Stock Yorkville

Salt Grass & Rare, at 50 Scollard, was reported as opening soon with dry-aged cuts, a garden terrace with water features and a lounge, led by chef Derek Von Raesfeld. Looking further ahead, BlogTO reports that Stock, the grocer-restaurant concept from Terroni and Cumbrae's, plans a smaller second location at 57 Yorkville Ave. in the former Pusateri's space, targeting spring 2027, with a grocery counter and a bistro-style Stock Grille.

How to choose

Want a party: PAROS. Want a view and a celebration: Mar'aa. Want a fast, affordable bowl: Ramen Tabetai. Want a splurge with ceremony: an omakase counter on Cumberland. Want a glass and a few bites: the caviar bar or Salt and Sand. Always confirm that a place is open and taking reservations, since several of these were in soft launch when reported.
