Dining spots ranging from longtime steakhouses and brunch restaurants to bakeries, pizzerias and waterfront eateries announced closures across Toronto in March.
Here are nine restaurants that have closed or are closing this month:
Pai

One of Toronto’s most well-known Thai restaurant brands has closed one of its locations operating out of a Kitchen Hub facility.
The Pai location operated out of Kitchen Hub in Maple, serving Northern Thai dishes such as pad thai, curries, and signature street-food-inspired plates.
“Our team came to the conclusion that closing Pai Maple was a necessary step for us at this time,” the restaurant said in a social media post.

The restaurant has now permanently closed.

Located at 207 Queens Quay W., near Lower Simcoe Street, Joe Bird served fried chicken, chicken sandwiches, burgers and brunch items such as eggs and toast.
