Toronto?s Lady Marmalade Refreshes + Relocates
Toronto brunch institution Lady Marmalade + its following can now enjoy their meals inside a space that looks as good as its food tastes.
Known for its daily offerings, Toronto brunch institution Lady Marmalade and its devoted following can now enjoy their meals inside a space that looks as good as its food tastes. Their newly renovated space, designed by Omar Gandhi Architect in collaboration with SvN, is located on an up-and-coming stretch of Broadview Avenue just north of Dundas Street in the east end of the city.

A long, narrow, dark building was transformed into a bright, warm space that’s an excellent exploration of scale, proportion, materiality, and light. The front exterior holds on to the original brick façade, while a large new storefront window allows for a glimpse inside for passersby. Cedar cladding accents the aging brick, and will develop its own patina over time to complement it. Photo by Janet Kimber
A small entryway opens into a light-filled three-story space at the front of the dining room, while exposed beams throughout are a nod to the restaurants past lives.. The first and second levels provide seating, and include a double-height private dining area at the rear of the building. New windows at both the front and back of the space, as well as skylights, provide plenty of illumination even on overcast days when played against the Baltic birch interior finish that’s consistent throughout.
