Mark McEwan has become a leading figure in the city’s fine dining scene, as well as a bestselling author and television perso ... nality. Mark’s first restaurant, North 44, has been a gourmet destination for celebrities and high-profile visitors since 1990. His second venture, Bymark, is an upscale institution in the financial district, and was designed by the award-winning Yabu Pushelberg. Joining forces again with YP, Mark opened ONE Restaurant, the “see and be seen” Yorkville hot spot featuring one of Toronto’s best patios. Last but not least is Fabbrica, Mark’s latest restaurant that uses the finest rustic ingredients to produce the most delectably authentic Italian cuisine. Representing a growing army of the city’s most talented executive chefs (including Sash Simpson, Brooke McDougall, Andrew Ellerby, Darby Piquette, Shen Ousmand and Kris Topping) the McEwan empire has expanded to include an upscale grocery emporium at the Shops at Don Mills. Its unique restaurant-style approach to prepared food has become so popular, McEwan has opened a second location in the heart of downtown. McEwan also offers complete gourmet catering with North 44 Caters, McEwan Catering and Events by McEwan and floral services with McEwan Floral. read more
