Now Open: URSA Restaurant
A sleek and industrial yet cozy space where Bar One once stood, URSA Restaurant is serving up Canadian cuisine with a twist: the dishes are prepped using techniques to maintain as much nutritional value as possible. Makes sense, the brother/duo owners have cooked for pro athletes’ diets. Find it at 924 Queen Street West.
