Fresh off the Canada’s 100 Best Recommends 2026 list, Lunch Lady will be returning to OssFest this year, serving its “world-famous” Vietnamese street food from 11 am to 10 pm (or until sold out). Priced between $9 – $14, they’ll be offering a specially curated menu of drinks and bites designed to blend their comforting, authentic, Vietnamese cuisine with a festival-friendly twist.

They’ll also be offering a variety of skewers, including octopus, pork, and beef paired with red and green chili sauce.

Following a standout year that saw it named No. 14 on Canada’s 100 Best Bars list, awarded Best New Bar, and ranked No. 82 on the extended North America’s 50 Best Bars list, No Vacancy is going all out for OssFest, taking over the driveway at 77 Ossington for a one-day-only block party from 11 am to 10 pm. Chef Brian Kang will be serving grilled skewers, while drinks will include beer and spirit cans supported by Steam Whistle and Suntory, alongside a full bar. DJ sets will run throughout the day, including Toronto DJs Deecee and Quim, who will close out the lineup. The party will continue well into the evening, with No Vacancy offering its regular lounge menu for walk-ins and a post-party continuing from 10 pm until late.
