#FOOD: LYLA DEBUTS NEW FALL 2025 MENU BY EXECUTIVE CHEF MICHAEL MEDEIROS

Lyla, the modern Mediterranean-inspired restaurant in the heart of Toronto, is excited to debut its new fall menu crafted by Executive Chef Michael Medeiros. Launching this evening, the refreshed menu highlights seasonal ingredients, bold flavours, and refined simplicity, designed for sharing and perfect for autumn dining. Reservations are now available via OpenTable HERE.

The fall menu introduces a range of vibrant new dishes, from indulgent pastas like Rigatoni al Brasato di Manzo with braised Ontario beef short rib to the delicate Hamachi Crudo topped with rotating caviar and plum wine jelly. Seasonal highlights include the Autumn Salad with butternut squash and maple vinaigrette, and Tortelli al Tartufo finished with shaved winter truffles. Larger shared entrées such as the Half Duck with pomegranate glaze and spiced duck jus or the Canadian Lamb Loin with olive tapenade and golden raisins round out the new offerings.

Chef Medeiros, whose culinary journey began at 17 and has since taken him from MICHELIN-starred kitchens in Australia to Toronto’s vibrant dining scene, draws inspiration from his family roots and global training to create a menu that balances comfort and elegance. With a focus on seasonal, local high-quality ingredients and Mediterranean flavours, Lyla’s fall menu embodies the restaurant’s philosophy: elevated yet approachable, crafted from high-quality ingredients and designed for sharing.

Complementing the food, Lyla’s beverage program continues to feature a curated wine list showcasing coastal wines and a cocktail menu built on fresh, vibrant ingredients. The restaurant’s warm, old-world inspired interiors designed by HOK make for an inviting setting to enjoy the new seasonal menu, whether for a casual dinner, a celebration, or a private event.

Lyla’s fall menu is available now for dinner, lunch, and includes an updated weekend brunch menu. For those seeking a celebratory dining experience, the restaurant also offers a selection of group set menus, from the Lyla Table ($79 + tax per person) to the Lyla Signature Table ($99 + tax per person), showcasing the best of the fall menu in family-style formats.
