Taberna LX, the Lisbon-inspired restaurant in the heart of Toronto’s Little Portugal, marks its one-year anniversary with a refined culinary direction and updated food and beverage program. First opened in the summer of last year, the restaurant has quickly established itself as a defining voice in Toronto’s modern Portuguese dining landscape.
Over the past year, Taberna LX has evolved into a destination rooted in cultural storytelling and contemporary execution. This next chapter sharpens that identity—bringing greater clarity to its share-style format while deepening its global perspective, informed by the team’s diverse culinary backgrounds and lived experiences. Reservations are available via OpenTable HERE.
About the Culinary Program
The refreshed menu at Taberna LX continues to centre on modern Portuguese cuisine, designed for flexible, share-style dining across petiscos (snacks) and larger-format plates. For its one-year milestone, the kitchen shifts into a spring/summer direction, moving away from heavier, comfort-driven winter dishes in favour of lighter, more playful expressions of Portuguese flavour. The result is a menu that feels brighter, more seasonal, and distinctly energetic, while maintaining the depth and technique that define the restaurant.
At the core of the program is Chef de Cuisine Jeffrey Yap, whose detail-driven approach brings precision and consistency to the kitchen. Working within the restaurant’s broader culinary vision, Yap executes dishes with technical discipline while layering in subtle global influences, particularly through the integration of Asian pantry elements into Portuguese foundations.
Three hero dishes continue to anchor the menu, offering a throughline between the restaurant’s opening and its current evolution. Highlights include the Café Steak, an elevated take on Lisbon’s classic bitoque, featuring beef tenderloin with a rich, “slurpable” sauce of veal stock, brandy, and cream, topped with a fried egg and served with house-made Russet chips; the Seafood Rice, a standout combining tiger shrimp, cuttlefish, and house-made XO sauce, a nod to the team’s Hong Kong roots; and Salt Cod Fritters, filled with heritage salt cod and prepared using a technique inspired by Chinese dim sum taro puffs.
About the Beverage Program
Wine Program
The wine list remains exclusively Portuguese, with a strong emphasis on regional diversity and small producers. Particular focus is placed on Azorean and volcanic wines, highlighting mineral-driven expressions from regions such as Pico Island. The program is designed to complement the menu’s balance of richness, acidity, and spice, while introducing guests to lesser-known appellations across Portugal.
About the Team
Taberna LX is led by a tight-knit team with extensive backgrounds in both kitchen and front-of-house operations:
Kelly Amaral (Founder) — A lifelong hospitality professional with deep roots in Little Portugal, Taberna LX represents a personal legacy project that reinterprets her family’s history in the neighbourhood through a modern lens.
Jonathan Poon (Co-Founder & Executive Chef) — An influential Toronto restaurateur guiding the restaurant’s culinary direction.
Jeffrey Yap (Chef de Cuisine) — Leading day-to-day kitchen execution with a detail-driven, technique-forward approach shaped by both classical and global training.
Aaron Joseph Bear Robe (General Manager) — A seasoned operator and former chef/owner, bringing a “precision meets casual” approach to front-of-house leadership.
Isabo Leblanc (Bar Manager) — A specialist in sensory-driven mixology, leading a program centred on Portuguese spirits and contemporary cocktail design.
Together, the team operates with a unified vision, balancing technical excellence with a high-energy, hospitality-forward experience.
About the Space
Designed in collaboration with Lisbon-based creative Joana Astolfi of Astolfi Studios and architect, Edward Lee, the space draws directly from contemporary Lisbon while embedding layers of cultural narrative throughout. From hand-painted Viúva Lamego tiles to custom ceramics and a rooftop mural by Madison van Rijn, the environment reflects a modern interpretation of Portuguese craftsmanship and design.
The dual-level layout shifts from a moody, intimate main floor to a lighter, social upper level and rooftop patio, creating a dynamic, evolving experience throughout the space. One year in, Taberna LX has settled into the neighbourhood as both a cultural anchor and a destination restaurant, bridging the heritage of Little Portugal with the energy of Dundas West today.
Taberna LX is located at 1161 Dundas St. W and is open seven days a week for dinner, with additional programming and daytime offerings to follow this spring.
About Taberna LX
Taberna LX is a modern Portuguese restaurant located in Toronto’s Little Portugal neighbourhood. Inspired by the energy and cultural depth of Lisbon, the restaurant blends traditional flavours with contemporary technique, offering a vibrant, share-style dining experience rooted in global influence and local context. Since opening, Taberna LX has become a defining voice in the city’s evolving dining scene, recognized for its design, culinary perspective, and dynamic hospitality.

At just 20 years old, Bella Kay is quickly establishing herself as one of the most emotionally resonant new voices in pop. Today, the Texas-born singer-songwriter continues her meteoric ascent with a new guitar driven anthem, the single “Promise?.” Listen HERE.
“Promise?” marks Bella’s next step in a breakout run that has already connected with millions. A track that builds into a soaring, cathartic bridge, the song captures her signature blend of wistful yearning and emotional intensity. Bella Kay’s rise has been defined by her fearless honesty and
relentless drive. Writing songs that explore heartbreak, alienation, and survival with striking vulnerability, she pairs a raw, timeless voice with a sound that fuses fuzzy alternative pop textures and intimate, bedroom-style songwriting.
Her breakout moment came with “The Sick,” a viral ballad that has since surpassed 175 million streams and generated over 2 billion TikTok views. The momentum continued with her February 2026 EP a couple minutes out, featuring the hit “iloveitiloveitiloveit,” which earned an American Music Awards nomination for “Song of the Summer,” landed her on the Billboard Hot 100, and has amassed over 250 million streams alongside 2.2 billion views across 1.2 million TikTok creates. The track is currently climbing at pop radio.
Bella’s momentum has translated just as powerfully to the stage. She recently wrapped a U.S. run opening for Maisie Peters, sharpening her live presence in front of rapidly growing crowds. This May, she launches her sold-out European and UK headline dates before returning stateside to embark on her first U.S. headline tour this summer—further cementing her transition from viral breakout to global touring artist. Later this year, Bella will join indie-folk powerhouse Noah Kahan as support on his UK and Ireland arena tour, marking her largest performances to date and a major milestone in her ascent. She will also make her festival debuts at The Great Escape, All Things Go and Lollapalooza.
With “Promise?,” Bella Kay continues to channel the emotional chaos and clarity of young adulthood into songs that feel both deeply personal and universally understood—further solidifying her place as one of pop’s most compelling new artists.

Toronto got a huge treat last night as Theo James surprised at screening of FUZE! The star of the Divergent franchise and The White Lotus actually is in town filming Crime Thriller THE BOOKIE AND THE BRUISER opposite Vince Vaughn and has been spotted around town, including the Walmart at Dufferin Mall of all places!
Taking place at Scotiabank Theatre, James introduced the Film, with a Q&A moderated by Brigitte Truong. James mentioned his favourite Toronto area, what he was actually up to at Walmart, and gave us a little insight into working with David MacKenzie, Director of Heist Thriller FUZE. The Film also starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Sam Worthington, premiered last Fall at tiff50.
James even took a couple group photos with the theatre. This was all so beyond and generous, considering this was his day off!
