Le Pain Quotidien Chef Alain Coumont has spread his popular French style café to North American’s top cities, and Toronto’s next, with a prime locations opening up on Eglinton Avenue next Wednesday. After dealing with the pains of flying in pain daily from Paris, Coumont successfully mastered the art of creating Parisian styled bread outside of the spoke-shaped city.

Toronto's revolving door of fresh eateries seems a natural fit for this one. Those that don’t abide by Atkins diets will delight in the scrumptious dough and delicious upscale déjeuner offerings. You can share your love for the crusty, freshly baked baguettes, loaves and buns with friends and strangers at the massive communal tables. Bon appetite!

Cajun Corner Cajun Corner, the go-to Leslieville shop for everything Louisiana, will be moving up into the northern regions of our beloved city to make room for a full-on bar and dining area. The new spot is scheduled to open up on Apr. 10th with a bang. Every Sunday there will be a live jazz band and a New Orleans style buffet (so make sure to have your overalls and straw hat ready to go). Their extensive and exclusive retail stock and catering services will still be available as well so you can still pick up your favourite Louisiana hot sauce and hurricane mix. Keep an eye out for further details next week.

Chakra Opening on April 9 – okay, technically, it's open now - this new restaurant will provide patrons with a menu comprised of Tandoori and Mughlai dishes of Northern India. Make no mistake, this is standard Indian fair with little more than the expected dishes on the menu, but they are prepared with enough style and flair that you don’t have to worry about being disappointed. And if the spices prove to be too much to bear, then you’ll have a decent list of wines selected by Doris Miculan Bradley (a fine Toronto sommelier) too cool the flames. Just be careful about how much wine you pour on the fire. Alcohol can be quite flammable and you don’t want to end your evening in the burn ward (note to concerned readers: no, it is not possible to set yourself on fire by combining spicy food with alcohol).
