Tracking Toronto's newest, independent, registered restaurants
New restaurants in Little Jamaica, Toronto: 7 licensed in the past year, tracked daily from the City of Toronto business-licence registry (chains excluded). The most recent is MASH-UPS, first seen 3 months ago.
Jamaican and Caribbean commercial corridor along Eglinton Avenue West roughly from Dufferin to Keele. Patty shops, jerk-chicken counters, oxtail stews; one of North America's largest Jamaican commercial districts.
"First seen" reflects when each restaurant first surfaced in our combined evidence — City permit, public-health inspection, social media — usually within a few weeks of opening, but a permit can lead actual opening by months. How we verify ›
