The Queens Harbour restaurant is set to open on 11 July 2025 at Toronto’s Harbourfront,

Featuring 800 seats and a retractable roof and spanning 23,000ft², the dining destination was founded by restaurateurs Kevin Jazexhi, Ali Badreddine and Iris Jazexhi.

It offers a menu blending Mediterranean and Asian cuisines, led by chef Robert Balint with Julien Laffargue.

Kevin Jazexhi stated: “Its location on Toronto's waterfront was a deliberate choice. We saw an opportunity to create something that naturally evolves throughout the day while offering a new restaurant concept to a city that appreciates more than a meal.

“We wanted to ensure a quality experience, and Queens Harbour offers one that is one-of-a-kind and deeply connected to Toronto.”

The open kitchen and sushi counter use fresh ingredients for dishes such as sushi, seafood platters and shared plates.

The interior includes a bar, earth-toned seating, tables, trees and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Described as Toronto’s biggest new restaurant, Queens Harbour features two private dining rooms and one semi-private room upstairs, which can accommodate events from small dinners to large gatherings.

The dining venue also features Queens Garden, a two-level area with a retractable roof combining indoor and outdoor dining.

The beverage menu includes spirits, cocktails, wines and other drinks.

Badreddine added: “At Queens Harbour, hospitality and creating a sense of belonging are our driving objectives.

“Our culinary approach focuses on flavours designed to captivate the palate. Paired with an inventive beverage programme, every element comes together to fuel an experience that demands attention and leaves guests wanting to return.”
