Fresh Restaurants has opened a new spot at 101 Eglinton Ave. E., taking over the former Bar Buca.
Bar Buca permanently closed in October 2020 after the owners were evicted from the property for failing to pay rent to the landlord, and accumulating $22,000 in debt. Starting out as a stand-alone juice bar 20 years ago, Toronto’s first hot spot for raw and cold pressed juices has become the city’s largest plant-based restaurant chain, and currently has 10 locations scattered throughout the GTA.
The new spot is located right across from the chain’s original location, which was 90 Eglinton Ave. E.

The new space is bright and airy, with a series of new design elements. The wooden pantry shelves are stocked with a rainbow assortment of cold pressed juices, while also displaying an array of products from small and local businesses. An earthy colour scheme carries throughout the interior of the restaurant, where olive green tiles flank the serving counter, wallpaper with vibrant orange tangerines coats the walls, and plush light grey velvet chairs and powder blue booths make up the indoor dining area.
Fresh on Eglinton has a regular menu as well as a gluten-free menu that’s packed with all of your favourite snack foods like sweet potato fries and quinoa onion rings, as well as handhelds like burgers, wraps, and flatbreads. Of course, the classic salad and protein bowls are all available as well, using only the healthiest, freshest ingredients.
Fresh Eglinton is currently open for walk-ins and reservations everyday from 11:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Fresh Retail is also available for takeout and delivery on the Fresh Restaurants app, Uber Eats, DoorDash, SkipTheDishes and Ritual.
