What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

The Gabardine, a restaurant in Toronto's Financial District at 372 Bay St., appeared in the April 25, 2014 episode of You Gotta Eat Here! (Food Network Canada), the series hosted by John Catucci that visits three local restaurants per episode. Rotten Tomatoes' season-three listing for that episode names pork chops with black-eyed pea ragout, alongside Jam Cafe in Victoria and Gasthof Old Bavarian Haus. BlogTO's September 2019 report on the restaurant's closing described it as having been in business for nearly a decade and said its last service would be October 31, citing an Instagram post from the owners. A Google Maps listing for The Gabardine at 372 Bay St., checked on 2026-10-19, is marked permanently closed. BlogTO's article gave no street address or founding year, so the Bay Street address comes from the Google Maps listing.
