A first look at TIFF's new hotspot

With the TIFF Bell Lightbox set to open on September 12, Oliver & Bonacini's upscale offering, Luma, is just about ready to join O & B Canteen at the northwest corner of King and John streets. Under the direction of Executive Chef Jason Bangerter (formerly of Auberge du Pommier), the restaurant (and 100-seat lounge) will cater to a more established crowd than its sister establishment below, meaning it's likely to become one of the places to be seen during the fast approaching film festival.
