(Dixie/401)

A popular western Canadian brand and iconic sports bar - voted Canada’s Best Sports Bar, is making its way into Mississauga sometime in 2016.

4 - Fired UP



(Port Credit)



Fired Up will be situated in the old Gino’s Pizza space, located in a corner unit along Lakeshore Rd. in Port Credit. The resto will be a welcome addition to the Port Credit scene in what sounds like a unique and gorgeous space. It’ll specialize in comfort foods such as hearty chili made with wild game meats as well as a variety of specialty burgers. Read more>

3 - Cafe Diplomatico



(Port Credit)

Mississauga may possibly become home to Cafe Diplomatico Restaurant & Pizzeria - a popular Toronto icon located in Little Italy along College St. It’s known to locals as “The Dip” and was one of the first restaurants to build a patio on the College St. strip, helping shape the community’s pedestrian-friendly vibe. Rumour has it that Diplomatico will take over an existing building in Mississauga in Port Credit that will offer a lakefront view along Stavebank Rd. If this is true, Snug Harbour will no longer monopolize Mississauga’s waterfront space and we will finally have another option for waterfront dining in the city. Read more>

2 - Capra’s Kitchen



(Clarkson)

Look out Mississauga! Chef Massimo Capra and his signature ‘stache and big personality are coming our way. Chef Massimo is finally opening a restaurant called Capra’s Kitchen in his hometown of Mississauga in the former Villa La Bella space along Lakeshore Rd. in the Clarkson neighbourhood. Chef Massimo is an accomplished celebrity chef, TV personality, author and Saugaboy who has an extensive resume. Starting from the ground up, his career began when he first started toiling in kitchens in Italy. He made his way to Toronto in the early 80s and worked in a few notable fine dining establishments in the city. His plans are to completely renovate the space with an estimated opening date sometime in the summer under the new name Capra's Kitchen. It will be a brand new restaurant concept with a brand new menu offering lunch, dinner and weekend brunch.





1 - Jamie’s Italian



(City Centre)



Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, known for a long list of popular cooking television shows and as an advocate for better food education, will open his second Canadian restaurant. Jamie’s Italian resto is set to open at Square One in 2016. Jamie’s Italian will feature fresh, authentic dishes using seasonal ingredients in Chef Oliver’s signature rustic style. Menu items will include artisan breads, pasta and pizza made fresh daily on-site, Italian mains and desserts, an antipasti station with cured meats and an open-concept kitchen. Read more>







The Works



(Port Credit)



A burger war is about to unfold in Port Credit. A few new burger joints are making their way into Mississauga in the New Year, including The Works’ Gourmet Burger Bistro, which is set to take over a prime piece of real estate along the main stretch in Port Credit. The Works’ is a Canadian franchise that opened its first location in Ottawa and specializes in gourmet burger creations with an overwhelming amount of toppings to choose from. The menu includes over 40 burgers with seven patties to choose from and an abundant amount of atypical toppings, such as Reese Peanut Butter Cups (yes that’s right, chocolate and peanut butter in your burger), peanut butter and bananas, tzatziki, purple beets, mac and cheese, cream cheese and jerk sauce.
