Brand new European-style food hall to open in downtown Toronto

One of Toronto’s highly anticipated dining hubs, Waterworks Food Hall is officially opening this July. The European-style food hall will be home to more than 20 different food stalls, a sit-down restaurant and much more.

Mark your calendars for July 3rd at 11 AM! The massive Waterworks Food Hall, located at 499 Richmond Street West, will welcome hungry guests after months of anticipation.

The 55,000 sq. ft. space has been repurposed as a European-style food hall and will host more than 20 different food stalls featuring culinary favourites from around the world, according to the establishment.

Expect food stalls like Aburi Sushi, Harry’s Charbroiled and Musoshin Ramen. Expect drink offerings from Grape Witches, Civil Works and Boxcar Social, too.

There’s also 12,000 sq. ft. of private event spaces, and two stand-alone fronts: Lee Restaurant from chef Susur Lee, and SOBR Market, downtown Toronto’s first non-alcoholic bottle shop.
