Takja on College West is Toronto’s destination for modern Korean dining. This summer season, chefs Jeff Kang and Edward Bang return with an updated Hansang and a Mushroom Stone Pot Rice prepared in the Anseong Jumul Gamasot, a Korean cast iron pot representing over 100 years of craftsmanship, widely used by Michelin-starred restaurants in New York. Takja is currently the only restaurant in Canada cooking with it.
“There’s no reason Canadian diners should have to go to New York or Seoul for this level of Korean food. That’s what we’re building at Takja.”
Jeff Kang, chef and co-owner, Takja BBQ The space blends natural wood, jade green accents, and traditional Korean design details, from mother-of-pearl cabinetry to moon jar-inspired ceramics. Each of the ten booths features a
brass-covered built-in grill with a ventilation system engineered specifically for the space, one of the strongest in the city. Takja’s staff handle all the grilling, so guests can focus on the food and the company.
New This Season: The Seafood Platter
An upgraded, Korean-inspired seafood selection and seafood platter is now part of the Hansang and includes:
– PEI Oysters with perilla mignonette
-Hokkaido Scallops with pine nut and black sesame sauce
-Seabass with gyeoja (mustard) and Valentine radish
-Bluefin Tuna with dashima soy (kelp-infused soy sauce) and pickled cucumber
-Shrimp with chojang (tangy, spicy dipping sauce) and puffed rice
In Korean homes, Hansang means a full table of food, prepared when a special guest arrives. At Takja, it is the fullest expression of what chefs Jeff Kang and Edward Bang do best.
The Hansang opens with the Seafood Platter and a Seafood Pancake with Caviar before moving into the BBQ course:
-Iberico Pluma
-Hanger Steak
-A5 Wagyu
-Galbi
Served alongside scallion salad, ssam vegetables, and banchan: white kimchi, mustard kimchi, ssam mu, and spicy pickled jalapeño. The meal closes with a Mushroom Stone Pot Rice prepared in the Anseong Jumul Gamasot, featuring morel, maitake, shiitake, shimeji, and portobello.
“Every dish we put on the table tells a story about where we come from, what we’ve learned, and what we believe great Korean food can be. When a guest sits down at Takja, we want them to feel like they’ve been invited into our home.”
-Edward Bang, chef and co-owner, Takja BBQ ON THE GLASS
The Spicy Omija Margarita, tequila and mezcal with Omija berry and a Gochugaru rim, returns for the spring and summer, alongside a wine list spanning biodynamic to classic selections. Takja also pours a house-brewed makgeolli made exclusively for the restaurant, and a selection of traditional Korean spirits imported by the team, unavailable anywhere else in Toronto.
UPCOMING EVENTS
This June, Takja will partner with Pearl Morissette Winery for a bar collaboration, bringing together two names defined by precision and a shared commitment to what’s in the glass and on the table. This summer, Takja will also join Langdon Hall for its 2026 BBQ Series.
More details to follow.

Takja is located on College West in Toronto. Led by Chefs Jeff Kang and Edward Bang, the
restaurant offers a modern Korean dining experience defined by exceptional ingredients,

Since opening in August 2022, Down Home has earned Michelin Guide recommendations in both 2024 and 2025 and was named No. 39 on Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants list for 2026. Created by Joel Gray and Hannah Harradine after relocating to Grey County in 2019, the restaurant has built a reputation for deeply personal cooking and hospitality.
Gray and Harradine met working in traditional restaurants where quality local ingredients were being used, but they felt the stories were getting lost from the kitchen to the guests. At Down Home, that connection is brought directly to the table.
“We wanted to open a place in the heart of Grey County, in the farmland, 10 minutes from our favourite producers. The stories behind the ingredients are just as important to us as the ingredients themselves,” says Gray.
Down Home operates directly from the century farmhouse and property where they live and grow food, with little separation between the restaurant and daily life around it.
“The restaurant is our everything. Because it’s in our home, there’s really no separation between work and life and we designed it this way. It goes far beyond a restaurant. It’s a heartfelt glimpse into our lives, and I think that sincerity is why people continue to find us.”
— Hannah Harradine
THE MENU
The menu changes constantly throughout the year, driven by Grey County’s four distinct seasons and what is available nearby.
The garden is the main showpiece at Down Home during the summer months, influencing much of the menu from week to week. Guests are invited to walk through the gardens before dinner, where the team grows dozens of herbs, fruit trees, and varieties of vegetables used throughout the meal.
While the summer months center around the gardens, winter menus shift toward preserves and open-fire cooking.
The kitchen frequently incorporates ingredients not often seen in restaurant kitchens, including peach leaf, black currant wood, and carrot tops, sourced directly from the property’s permaculture gardens.
Signature dishes include:
The Garden Dish
An ever-changing plate built around what is being harvested that week, from early spring dishes to overwintered carrots.
Springhills Whole Grilled Fish
Fresh fish picked up weekly, then brined, dry aged, stuffed, and grilled over open fire.
Good Family Farms Pork
Whole-animal preparations using cuts like pig’s head and pork trotter.
The beverage programme focuses on Canadian producers, including small-scale wineries, cider makers, and seasonally driven cocktails.
Down Home also hosts seasonal community gatherings throughout the year, including an annual Maple Sap Boil open to locals.
THE SPACE
The dining room retains much of the home’s original character, with each room carrying a slightly different atmosphere. Artwork throughout the space reflects Joel Gray’s East Coast roots in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, alongside natural wood textures, antique furnishings, and handmade objects sourced from regional artisans. The name Down Home is also a nod to Gray’s East Coast upbringing and the kind of hospitality both he and Harradine wanted the restaurant to embody.
The restaurant collaborates with ceramicists and glassmakers across Ontario on custom plateware and glassware used throughout the dining experience. A dining room refresh in
collaboration with designer Ashley Montgomery is currently in development.
Down Home seats 16 guests and operates Thursday through Saturday, 6:30 p.m.–9:30 p.m., by reservation only. Tasting menus range from $175–$200 per guest.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The restaurant can accommodate select dietary needs including no red meat, pescatarian, nut allergies, shellfish/seafood restrictions, and pregnancy-related modifications. Vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free menus are not available.
Nearby accommodations include The June Motel Beaver Valley, Rocklyn Inn, The Post Office, Airbnb Kimberley, Back Forty Glamping, and Penny’s Motel.
Down Home is located at 135299 9 Line, Markdale, Ontario. downhomerestaurant.com

The first teaser trailer for Disney and Pixar’s “Gatto,” an original animated adventure that takes viewers into the feline-run underbelly of Venice, Italy, are now available.
Mark Ruffalo (“Poor Things,” “The Avengers,” “Spotlight, “Foxcatcher”) has joined the voice cast as the scrappy black cat Nero, and Laurence Fishburne (“The Matrix” trilogy, “Boyz n the Hood,” “What’s Love Got to Do with It”) will voice the ruthless mob boss cat Rocco. The teaser trailer introduces Nero and Rocco as they question another cat in a funny interrogation scene.
In “Gatto,” after years of maneuvering the canal-ridden, superstitious city of Venice, Italy, Nero begins to question whether he’s lived the right lives. Indebted to Rocco, the local feline mob boss, Nero finds himself in a quandary and is forced to forge a truly unexpected friendship that may finally lead him to his purpose—unless Venice gets the better of him first.
“Gatto” is directed by Enrico Casarosa and produced by Andrea Warren, the filmmaking team behind the Oscar®-nominated feature “Luca.” The new film releases exclusively in theatres March 5, 2027.

Disney+ today announced its first-ever Canadian local Originals, including two greenlights for “Knighted,” a new eight-episode scripted comedy and “I’m Not Coming Back,” a three-part true-crime documentary, marking an important step in the streamer’s expanding investment in Canadian storytelling.
Produced by Heavy Lifting Productions in association with 3 Arts Entertainment, “Knighted” follows a missing person’s case that spirals into a gloriously absurd documentary-style exploration of the sinister secrets lurking beneath the enchanting pageantry of a local medieval dinner theatre. The series is developed by award-winning executive producer, Bruce McCulloch (“The Kids in the Hall”) alongside the creators Jackson Rowe and Mike Mildon (“For Heaven’s Sake”) and producers Trevor Rotenberg, Zack Waxenberg and Greg Walter from 3 Arts Entertainment.
“I’m Not Coming Back” is produced by Tuck Shop Media and Hodgee Films about two armed fugitives who went on a killing spree in the summer of 2019 that turned into one of the largest-scale manhunts in Canadian history. When national police leads run dry, authorities enlist help from a member of the Fox Lake Cree Nation in a desperate pursuit of justice. The series is from producer Joe Tuck (“Running Smoke” and “Field Generals: History of the Black Quarterback”) and director Brent Hodge (“I Am Chris Farley” and “Pharma Bro”).
“We’re delighted to launch ‘Knighted’ and ‘I’m Not Coming Back’ as our first-ever Canadian originals, two series that showcase the incredible range of talent we have here in Canada. This demonstrates our deep commitment to local content, investing in stories that will resonate with audiences both here in Canada and around the world,” said Paige Murray, Director of Development, Disney+ Canada.
“I am so happy to be part of the first Canadian series for Disney+, and for viewers to get to know our creators. This is a really fun show, something wholly unique that I have never seen,” said McCulloch.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Disney+ on this special project. For this story, we’re going beyond the headlines of a news sensation that swept the country in 2019. While underpinned by tragedy, this docu-series gives us a chance to cinematically showcase the vastness of Canada from the Pacific Coast to Hudson’s Bay,” added Hodge and Tuck.
Disney+ is available from $8.99 per month – with no hidden costs and the ability to cancel anytime. There’s something for everyone to watch, with new TV series, blockbuster movies, live events, and exclusive Originals added throughout the year from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and Hulu. The library spans everything from documentaries to critically acclaimed drama, comedy to classic animation.
