The location that was Beaverbrook and Wonderland put a sign up saying they moved to this location when they closed.

I saw that the other day. Why would anyone go that far, when there are SCs in Masonville and Westmount?

I'm not 100% sure but I think it's the franchisees that moved, so they are advertising it that way to push their customers to their new location.

Good luck with that. I mean, its Swiss Chalet. A chain. Who is going to drive out of their way when there are other, closer locations?

Regardless, those particular owners have moved and they are saying where they moved to.

This is actually great news, if they do a good job with that Brazilian restaurant it will be very popular. Looking forward to trying it out.

The former beer store on the NW corner of Richmond and Fanshawe will become the second Scaddabush restaurant location.

MolsonExport · #98 Posted **Jun 29, 2026, 2:05 PM**

will they do the Fandango?

GreatTallNorth2 · #99 Posted **Jun 29, 2026, 4:07 PM**

Of all the chain restaurants in Canada I think Scaddabush is one of the better ones. They are priced fairly well and seem to really care about quality and service. Never had a bad meal there.

Have only been there once, for my wife's sister's 50th surprise party and thought it was pretty decent. Think it will be a good addition to the food options up there.
