September marked the end of the road for several Toronto restaurants, including businesses that had served their communities for decades.
Here are four restaurants that announced closures:
After years of serving French-style pastries in one of Toronto’s busiest neighbourhoods, Delysees has closed its Ossington Avenue location.
The pastry shop is known for its famous croissants and eye-catching desserts, along with macarons, tarts and eclairs.
“It’s been a pleasure being part of the neighbourhood, and we’re incredibly grateful for all your support,” Delysees wrote in a social media post announcing the closure.
The closure comes as the lease for the Ossington Avenue location reached its end. Delysees continues to operate other locations and says it plans to open more boutiques in the future.
The last day in business for Delysees on Ossington Avenue was Sept. 13.

Longtime Toronto vegan restaurant Hogtown Vegan has announced it is closing its doors.
Known for its punk rock aesthetic and creative vegan takes on comfort food, including chicken n’ waffles, mac n’ cheese and burgers, the restaurant became a popular destination for plant-based dining in the city.
“We’ve been facing the same struggles as many other restaurants, and it pains me to say it doesn’t look like we’ll be able to make it out the other end,” the restaurant said in a social media post.
The restaurant previously had a second location on Bloor Street, which has since closed. While Hogtown Vegan suggested there could possibly be a future for the business elsewhere, no plans have been announced.
The last day of business will be Sept. 27.
After more than 30 years in business, Vietnam Noodle Star in Scarborough is closing.
The restaurant serves Vietnamese noodle soups and vermicelli dishes, along with laksa noodles, lemongrass noodles, curry and rice dishes.
A sign posted at the restaurant says the closure comes as the owner prepares to retire.
“The owner is retiring,” the sign reads. “Thank you for your support over the years!”
The last day for Vietnam Noodle Star on Finch will be Sept. 27.
A longtime Latin American business in Kensington Market has permanently closed its doors.

The family-run business had been a longtime part of the Latin American food scene in Kensington Market. Segovia Foods opened on Augusta Avenue in 1996 after previously operating on Bloor Street since the 1970s.
