After selling out dinners on New Years Eve, Crosley’s is now getting to launch their own brick-and-mortar.

“We will also be hawking our wares during the day,” said the team Monday. “We love you Toronto and are excited to let you get a small glance of our world.”

The restaurant will open on January 22 at 214 Ossington Ave., which was home to businesses like La Porte and Tocino Boys (now located inside Man of Kent) prior to construction on Crosley’s started in March 2020.

The team behind the project includes former Brothers chef Joachim Hayward, sommelier and Solid Olive owner Myles Harrison, and chef and Bar Piquette co-owner JP Adamo.

If past menus at Bar Piquette were anything to go by, we can expect plates along the tune of whole Nunavut flounder and snow crab rarebit.
