Here are the most anticipated Toronto restaurant openings this fall.

Naija Jollof

Toronto is finally getting a location of this popular African restaurant that's tucked away in the Westwood Square Mall food court. The new Queensway location promises to differentiate itself with "luxury fine dining."

Stock Bar

The restaurant component of this massive project by Terroni and Cumbrae's near Yonge and Eglinton should be opening in early October. An impressive grocer section with pizza, pasta, burgers, booze and coffee is already open.

Vela

This restaurant from the people behind Bar Raval and Alo is coming to a historical building around King and Portland in late October, and with design by award-winning Partisans not only the food but the interior should be absolutely jaw-dropping.

O'somae

East Chinatown will soon welcome this new hangout for coffee and brunch decorated with beautiful mural art.

Bom-Bay Snack Bar

On Sept. 24, the former home of Egg Bird (don't worry, it's relocating downtown) on Bayview will turn into this halal spot by restaurateur Hemant Bhagwani (Popa, Goa) that he describes as an Iranian cafe "with an Indian heart."

Oji Seichi

East Chinatown will soon become home to this restaurant that says it will be "where traditional ramen meets local ingredients."
