OMG Real Estate is the biggest commercial real estate agency for restaurateurs in Toronto. In this new recurring feature, we highlight five buzz-worthy locations OMG thinks are tremendous opportunities for the right operator. This weeks top five:
1. Southern Accent, 839 College Street
Since 1984, Southern Accent has been bringing “Cajun, Creole and Soul” to Toronto as the most authentic New Orleans dining experience in the city. Recently relocated to the trendy College and Ossington intersection, Southern Accent has spent three decades perfecting N’awlins favourites such as Gumbo, Jambalaya, Blackened Chicken, Pecan Pie and the best Bread Puddin’ in the city, making the restaurant the “go-to” for Louisiana Cookin’ in Canada’s largest city. So after 36 years, owner Frances Wood & her operating partner Thessavan Maniceavasakan, have decided that it is time to retire. Training will be provided to ensure a seamless transition for this well-respected brand.
2. Levetto, 382 Spadina Avenue
On the most vibrant strip of Chinatown, this cozy dining room is set up for grab-and-go or full dine-in service. This newly renovated space is fully-equiped and lends itself to any concept or cuisine. Fully built from the ground up, it has everything you need to get started on your next hospitality venture.
