Experience The Evolution Of Toronto’s Food Scene
Nestled in Toronto’s bustling King West neighbourhood, The Well and its Wellington Market – a 70,000 sq. ft. food and drink destination – boasts over 50 food merchants serving international fare, plus a curated group of 12 exceptional restaurants. Bring your appetite and get ready to experience the rise of a new food destination.
IT’S SUMMER IN THE CITY
The Well, a new development bordering Front St. W, Spadina Ave and Wellington St. W is host to a new culinary scene, made up of Wellington Market and select restaurants and bars that reflect Toronto’s vibrant international food community. The interior and outdoors are beautifully designed to ensure you enjoy any meal in style.
WELLINGTON MARKET
Wellington Market, a dog-friendly Food Hall, showcases an indie market experience with international flavors, restaurants, premium groceries and gourmet grab-and-go options. Choose to have a bite at Gus Tacos, Postman Waffles, La Cubana, Ramen RYU, Japadog, Rosie’s Burgers, Sam’s Juices And Eats, Blue Claw Lobster Shack and Hooky’s Fish & Chips, to name a few. There’s also a flower merchant and unique options like À La Table from Quebec that builds cheese and charcuterie plates on demand.
VIVE LA FRANCE
One of 12 restaurants and bars at The Well, La Plume offers cuisine inspired by Southern France. Select an appetizer of sweetbreads and mushrooms on toast, ocean trout or a variety of steak frites options — from tenderloin to wagyu striploin. People-watch on the street-side patio or make a reservation at Bonne Nuit, the second-floor speakeasy-style bar offering bottle service.
CULINARY MASH-UP
Enjoy vacation-style flavors at Lulu Bar with its menu inspired by the culinary delights of Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Hawaii and California. You’ll find reimagined dishes like fried miso cured egg (right) and their pillowy hot dog bao which features char siu (Cantonese-style barbecued pork) in the form of sausages, along with pickled mustard greens, banana ketchup and peanuts. Indulge in their signature cocktails: a pineapple Negroni or Don Muraco, a mix of bourbon, aged rum, lemongrass and yuzu. Or, choose alcohol-free options like Hawaiian Honeycreeper made with alcohol-free rum, roasted pineapple and sparkling bitters.
A TRUE FOOD COMMUNITY
The Wellington Restaurants and Wellington Market bring together renowned chefs, mixologists and globally-inspired flavors, but more importantly, it encourages and celebrates gathering and community. Visit now to redefine how you experience food. Other notable restaurants include The Dorset, Bridgette Bar, Mandy’s Gourmet Salads, East Tea Can and AERA, luxury cuisine that pays homage to 21st-century American cooking, located on the 38th floor of 8 Spadina Avenue.
