Chef Nick Liu Launches Chinese-Jewish Restaurant in Cedarvale: Full Story & Concept
By James H. Sterling
Midtown Toronto's dining map is shaking off its quiet suburban reputation. High-density transit improvements along Eglinton Avenue have brought new waves of young families and culinary professionals north of Dupont Street. These diners expect food that reflects both the cultural heritage of their neighborhoods and the modern execution of the city’s top chefs.
Nick Liu’s entrance into Cedarvale proves that neighborhood restaurants can push creative boundaries while honoring their surroundings. By merging Cantonese banquet technique with the beloved comfort flavors of Ashkenazi cooking, the team is creating a vibrant space where everyday midday meals feel both warmly familiar and refreshingly new. When the doors open this fall, Toronto will gain an inventive restaurant that honors two rich culinary traditions at a single communal table.
