CHARLEBOIS: Canada poised to lose 4,000 restaurants in 2026. Does anyone care?

According to official figures, Canada’s restaurant sector appears remarkably resilient. The number of food service establishments has climbed steadily since the pandemic, surpassing pre-2020 levels and suggesting a sector that has not only recovered, but expanded. On paper, the industry looks stable.

On the ground, it does not.


Toronto is transitioning into a 3rd World Street Meat economy and I have very large suspicions about the quality and safety of Toronto restaurants in general.
