A couple of anticipated new restaurants opened in Toronto just this past week: a Thai restaurant and karaoke bar by a powerhouse team and a two-level French bistro. Check out both of those, but don’t forget to stop by a couple new street food spots on the way home as well.

Here are restaurants that opened this week in Toronto.

The team behind Pai, Kiin and Sukhothai led by heavyweight chef Nuit Regular just replaced their old spot Selva with this newest project, a karaoke bar and Thai restaurant named for a cultural hub in Chiang Mai.
