Valdez to re-open as Baro with all-season patio

Toronto's Valdez doled out delicious Latin American street food from its 90-seat restaurant and glorious roof top patio. While it closed its original location at 606 King St. W., it'll soon be reborn as Baro at 485 King St. W. in late August.

Baro won't be a carbon copy of Valdez. Chef Steven Gonzalez will still be at its helm, but he'll serve up a more refined menu along with an expanded cocktail program.

The multi-storey space will feature a second floor raw bar, a 2,200 loft space suitable for events and private functions and best of all, an all-season patio.

While you'll have to wait a bit to try Gonzalez's new restaurant, you can try to eat at the Baro food truck in the meantime.
