While the Avenue Road restaurant’s menu is a testament to cultural fusion, its interior design remains purely elegant

Nestled in the heart of Yorkville, Jade is the latest restaurant addition to the city’s vibrant fine dining landscape. Blending French and Asian culinary traditions, this sleek new eatery offers an experience that tantalizes the senses, with a menu as refined as its upscale setting.

Each dish (and cocktail) at Jade Yorkville is a celebration of global influences, reflecting Toronto’s dynamic multicultural makeup.

 

Taking over the space formerly occupied by Opus Restaurant, Jade Yorkville is a bold reimagining of what luxury dining can be. The restaurant’s chef and owner, who spent time honing their craft in the kitchens of Paris and Tokyo, has crafted a menu that marries delicate French techniques with the bold, flavourful profiles of East Asian cuisine. The result is a selection of dishes that feel both classic and inventive, bringing together the best of two culinary worlds.

The space itself, designed by Victoria Opacak of All In The Design, echoes the restaurant’s fusion ethos. Built to reflect both French elegance and Asian minimalism, Jade Yorkville’s interior is all about balance. Patrons are greeted by a blend of polished Italian marble, brass accents, and plush, velvet seating—elements that lend an airy yet cozy feel to the space. It’s an atmosphere that invites you to linger, offering a chic yet understated backdrop for intimate dinners or celebrations.

Beyond its culinary and aesthetic appeal, Jade Yorkville aims to make a mark on Toronto’s social scene. The restaurant has already begun hosting a series of private events and tastings, positioning itself as a go-to destination for discerning diners looking for something fresh and exciting in the city’s luxury dining market. As Yorkville continues to evolve, blending old-world charm with modern urban sophistication, Jade Yorkville perfectly encapsulates that spirit of reinvention.

For those seeking a new go-to spot in Toronto’s luxury dining circuit, Jade Yorkville offers an experience that is as polished as it is unexpected.

In the pleasing hamlet of Cataract, the Liberty Inn reimagines a 19th-century landmark as a rejuvenating getaway

There are some hotels that make me say, “This feels like a space I could live in,” and The Liberty Inn is one of those places. Each of its five suites has more of the tenor of a country cottage than a hotel room. Thoughtfully furnished living and dining areas invite lingering, smart kitchenettes welcome whipping up a meal and bespoke bathrooms beguile. The fridge is stocked with homemade strawberry jam, ready-to-bake croissants and oat and dairy milk. There’s a woodland spa and a garden, both within a pastoral setting, replete with birdsong, just steps from the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park. Though this boutique hotel is just a 60-minute drive from Toronto, it feels like a world away.
