GEORGE Restaurant marks 23 years this spring under Executive Chef Lorenzo Loseto and The Verity Group of Companies, with the return of its courtyard patio for the season alongside its signature tasting experience. The Patio at GEORGE will feature its own menu, launching in May 2026.
Opened in 2003 inside a restored 19th-century chocolate factory in Toronto’s Old Town, GEORGE has become one of the most enduring names in Canadian fine dining, earning four consecutive MICHELIN recommendations and a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence (2025) for their wine programme that showcases its depth and thoughtful Old and New World pairings.
Executive Chef Lorenzo Loseto has run one of the most passionate kitchens in the country. For over two decades, it has also served as an informal training ground for Toronto’s culinary community. Many of the cooks who have passed through GEORGE have gone on to lead some of the city’s most respected restaurants. In a dining scene that now draws international attention, a meaningful thread of that talent traces back to one kitchen and one chef. Loseto is a Gold Medal Plates Canadian Culinary Champion and has received repeated national recognition.
A Tasting Experience Unlike Any Other in the City
“GEORGE is where I get to cook with exceptional ingredients, surround myself with great people, champion emerging talent and do something that matters deeply to me.”
— Executive Chef Lorenzo Loseto, GEORGE Restaurant
GEORGE offers both à la carte and multi-course tasting menus, with its double-blind experience
as the restaurant’s signature. Each menu is tailored in real time to every guest’s preferences,
dietary needs, and the ingredients available that day.
With this dynamic customization, the menus change frequently to create a truly unique dining
experience for every guest that shifts from evening to evening, making each visit distinct.
Chef Loseto rounds out the experience with housemade gelato, a craft he honed at the
Carpigiani Gelato University in Italy,
The Patio at GEORGE
This June, GEORGE welcomes patio season with the opening of its enclosed courtyard — a
rare and intimate outdoor dining space in the heart of Old Town Toronto. Set within a restored
1850s chocolate factory, the space retains its original stonework and is complemented by live
water features, offering guests a serene escape unlike anything else in the city.
A dedicated patio menu will feature aperitivo-style dishes and shareable plates, designed for
relaxed, all-day dining.
The Dining Room at GEORGE
At GEORGE, the experience is warm without being casual, refined without being distant. True
hospitality, felt from the first hello to the last goodbye, has always been at the heart of the
restaurant.
Located at 111C Queen Street East in Toronto’s Old Town, GEORGE seats up to 110 guests in
its dining room and 60 in the courtyard, with private dining available for groups of 10 to 170. The
heritage red-brick chocolate factory gives the space a sense of history that few new restaurants
can replicate.
Dinner is served Tuesday through Saturday from 5:30 p.m., with lunch offered Wednesday
through Friday from 12 p.m. Tasting menus are priced from $100 to $230 per person; à la carte
dining begins at $40.
Secrette, is a hidden gem within GEORGE. This speakeasy bar offers handcrafted cocktails
and is ideal for aperitivo or a post-dinner nightcap.

Fat Rabbit, the whole-animal butcher shop and restaurant that has redefined dining in Niagara, is expanding. This May, the Michelin-recommended St. Catharines institution is unveiling a redesigned and enlarged dining room, the work of Brett Paulin Design, alongside large-format, family-style dining experiences built for the groups and big-table moments the new space was built to hold.
The expansion does not change what Fat Rabbit is but will give more diners a seat atthe table where it happens.
A Butcher’s Restaurant, Built to Last
Since opening in November 2023, Fat Rabbit has practiced whole animal butchery one way: whole animals in, nothing wasted, menus that follow what the farms and the seasons provide.
Fat Rabbit has become one of Canada’s most distinctive dining rooms, a place where house-made charcuterie and nose-to-tail cooking share one menu. Chef and co-founder Zach Smith’s ambition is to build restaurants that still matter in twenty years.
“We wanted to make the kind of place where you can feel the craft in the room. The farmers, the animals, the person across the table. It’s all the same conversation,” says Smith.
Designed With Care
The expanded dining room, conceived by designer Brett Paulin of Brett Paulin Design, reflects Fat Rabbit’s craft and hospitality through space and texture. Cherry wood, warm oak paneling, handmade joinery, and diffused lighting create an intimate but welcoming atmosphere.
“Each surface, piece of furniture, and detail were considered. The intended effect is to create a room where people feel loved and taken care of, a place to celebrate and share an amazing meal,” explained Paulin.
The expanded space will include a private dining room for groups of 10 to 20 guests.
What’s On The Menu?
Smith is launching a new series of large-format, family-style dining experiences built around whole animals and the kind of meal that takes up the whole table and most of the evening. Expect whole roasted cuts, aged beef, and the house charcuterie program, each menu pulling from whatever is butchered and at its best that week.
The summer menu features five distinct family-style experiences:
● 4-Course Dinner: house charcuterie, beef tartare, grilled beef with peppercorn
sauce, sticky toffee dessert
● Suckling Pig Dinner: whole suckling pig with three seasonal vegetable dishes
and dessert
● Prime Rib Dinner: slow-roasted prime rib with glazed carrots, creamed spinach,
and horseradish mashed potatoes
● Porchetta Roast Dinner: herb-seasoned roast with seasonal vegetables
● Roasted Lamb Shoulder Dinner: slow-roasted lamb shoulder with seasonal
accompaniments
The new space also includes a private dining room for groups of 10 to 20, with sight lines into the main dining room for special occasions and private gatherings.
The Team Behind The Rabbit
Chef Zach Smith has spent more than two decades in professional kitchens, including four years as Chef de Cuisine at Toronto’s Bar Raval, before relocating to Niagara in 2020.
He opened Fat Rabbit in 2023 with Head Butcher Justin, who runs the restaurant’s zero-waste butchery and charcuterie program, and General Manager Emily Walker, who leads front-of-house operations.
Smith is also the Executive Chef and Partner of Bar Les Incompétents, a French-ish bar and restaurant on St. Paul Street in St. Catharines that opened in late 2025. In early 2026, he returned as Executive Chef and Co-Owner of Bar Raval in Toronto, a role he currently holds while remaining based in Niagara.
About Fat Rabbit
Fat Rabbit is a whole-animal butcher shop and restaurant at 34 Geneva Street in downtown St. Catharines, Ontario. Opened in November 2023, the restaurant runs on a zero-waste butchery model: every animal is sourced whole from regional farms practicing regenerative agriculture, butchered in-house, and used in full from the charcuterie case to the final plate. Fat Rabbit holds a Michelin Guide recommendation (2024–2025), a ranking on Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants, no. 8 placement on Air Canada enRoute’s Best New Restaurants in Canada (2024), and a spot on the World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants.

Antidiva: The Carole Pope Confessions is a raw, rollicking portrait of Carole Pope—music icon, provocateur, and queer trailblazer whose fearless voice and unapologetic sexuality reshaped rock ‘n’ roll. From the underground grit of 1970s Toronto to opening for David Bowie, Pope’s incendiary lyrics and magnetic presence shattered expectations of what a woman, let alone a lesbian, could be onstage.
More than a music doc, Antidiva is a time capsule of queer resistance and chosen family, charting Pope’s creative symbiosis with Kevan Staples, her complicated relationships, and the bittersweet realities of aging in an industry that sidelines outsiders. Through archival treasure, electrifying performances, and present-day vérité, director Michelle Mama captures Pope’s contradictions: tough yet tender, jaded yet vibrantly alive.
Featuring k.d. lang, Peaches, Jann Arden, and Rufus Wainwright, Antidiva stands as a battle cry for self-expression, queer joy, and the artists who refuse to be tamed.
Commissioned by documentary Channel, Antidiva: The Carole Pope Confessions is a GAY AGENDA film in association with Here’s The Thing Productions, with distribution by Motion 58. The film was made possible with the support of the Canada Media Fund POV Program, the Ontario Creates Film Fund, the Hot Docs-Slaight Family Fund, Telefilm Canada Theatrical Documentary Program and the Rogers Documentary Fund, in association with CBC and documentary Channel.

Hosted by Lauren Ash, these seasonal baking battles bring fun, festive flair and fierce competition, with eight talented bakers competing for sweet victory and a $25,000 prize. Produced by Nikki Ray Media Agency in association with Corus Studios for Flavour Network, Halloween Bakeshop and Holiday Bakeshop are shooting in Toronto and slated to premiere in fall 2026.
Host Lauren Ash is an actress, comedian and musician, best known for her roles in NBC’s Superstore and ABC’s Not Dead Yet.

James Beard nominated chef, baking entrepreneur, and TV personality, Kareem “Mr. Bake” Queeman returns to join Lauren on the judging panel, alongside new addition Colin Asuncion, a talented baker and media personality.
“As the home of Canada’s leading lifestyle networks, Corus Entertainment is proud to announce season two of Halloween Bakeshop and Holiday Bakeshop. In their debut seasons, these Canadian original series connected strongly with audiences, delivering showstopping seasonal competition filled with heart and humour,” said Rachel Nelson, Vice President of Original Programming and Head of Corus Studios. “Corus remains committed to intentional and focused commissions that champion homegrown talent while delivering best-in-class content. Both series feature an exceptional cast of bakers and are produced in collaboration with our valued partners at Nikki Ray Media Agency.”
“We are very excited for Halloween Bakeshop and Holiday Bakeshop to return for new seasons that build on everything audiences loved the first time around,” said Tanya Linton, Co-CEO and Executive Producer, Nikki Ray Media Agency. “Lauren, Kareem and our new addition, Colin are helping us raise the heat in the kitchen, so viewers can expect the bakes to be bigger, bolder, and more delicious than ever.”
In both Halloween Bakeshop and Holiday Bakeshop, eight skilled bakers enter a fun-filled, high-stakes competition where their creativity and technical expertise are pushed to the limit. Each week, they race against the clock to complete two themed bakes, and at the end of each episode one baker is awarded a prize while another is sent home. In the thrilling finale, the final three competitors will craft their ultimate Halloween or holiday bakeshop masterpieces, but only one will rise to the top and savor the sweet taste of victory!
Additional details on the second seasons of Halloween Bakeshop and Holiday Bakeshop will be announced at later date.
