Mamakas, the popular Greek restaurant on Ossington Avenue, known for its traditional dishes inspired by owner Thanos Tripi’s childhood memories, is opening a new location in Toronto’s Summerhill neighborhood, located at 10 Price Street.
The restaurant’s second location is expected to open in 2026 at The James, following more than 10 years on Ossington Avenue, according to Toronto Life. Discussions with Tricon, the building’s developer, began in 2022. Customers can anticipate Mamakas’ signature offerings, including horiatiki salad, grilled octopus, and souvlaki, along with new features such as a private dining room. The expansion reflects the team’s careful approach to finding the right space, energy, and community for growth.
Mamakas has evolved into a multi-concept brand, featuring ventures such as Agora, a grab-and-go spot, Koukla, a bar offering mezes, and Trapezi, a private dining space. The Summerhill location will preserve the spirit of the original restaurant while introducing its own personality, catering to both longtime fans and new diners.
The restaurant will continue to emphasize accessibility and authenticity in its cuisine. Lunch service will run from Saturday through Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., featuring a new prix fixe menu that complements reimagined Mamakas favorites. Pick-up and delivery options will be available through the restaurant’s website and Uber Eats, extending the brand’s reach beyond in-person dining.
Mamakas is also launching a luxury brand of extra-virgin olive oil, available online and in restaurants starting in November or December 2025. This initiative reinforces the restaurant’s commitment to high-quality, authentic ingredients and culinary traditions.
“Our vision is one of access; we endeavour to bring you the most authentic ingredients possible,” according to Mamakas’ website. “As fresh as we can find. As unique and interesting as possible. We celebrate the subtle differences of our Mediterranean neighbours, and bring a contemporary lens to every creation, all the while providing an unrivalled guest experience.”
