TORONTO — At the heart of Queens Quay in Toronto lies a historic brick building that’s being re-imagined into a new 23,000 sq. ft. hospitality landmark — Queens Harbour. This project, located on Harbourfront Centre Island, will be one of the largest restaurant investments in the history of the waterfront.
The concept is being introduced by experienced restaurateurs Kevin Jazexhi, Ali Badreddine, Iris Jazexhi and chef Robert Balint. These founders are from parts of the world where Mediterranean influences are strong, and they want to bring that ethos to Queens Harbour.
Balint has collaborated with local, world-class chef Julien Laffargue to create a combination of Mediterranean and Asian flavours they termed MediterrAsian cuisine. Both chefs are curating a menu specializing in mezzes for sharing, charcoal-grilled dishes and a full raw and sushi bar. The program is complimented by handcrafted cocktails.
The 800-seat restaurant will feature the largest retractable roof in the country, multiple private-dining spaces, an outdoor terrace and three uniquely designed spaces with unparalleled views of the CN Tower, the harbour and Lake Ontario.
Queens Harbour will be unveiled next spring.
