Resurrection Restaurant

What is Resurrection Restaurant? Occupying a storefront along Dundas Street West in the Village of Islington, Resurrection Restaurant merges an intimate dim sum parlor with a focused Japanese whisky and cocktail lounge. The moody, compact dining room features backlit spirit displays, warm ambient lighting, and high-top counter and table seating. Having reimagined a longtime local space, it brings a sleek late-day gathering spot to Etobicoke that trades casual takeout counter conventions for a polished evening experience.

Resurrection Restaurant Menu & What to Order The kitchen delivers an all-day dim sum program paired with punchy street-food shareables. Start with the Chow Lo Bak Go—crisp, wok-tossed radish cake cubes spiced with chilies—alongside the Taiwanese popcorn chicken lacquered in a honey whisky glaze and finished with Thai basil oil. Steamer baskets arrive packed with thin-skinned xiao long bao, plump har gow, and rich, molten salted egg liu sha bao. Complement the meal with rare Suntory or Nikka pours from the curated Japanese whisky list or order a house-infused highball.

Know Before You Go With roughly 30 seats across the intimate room, tables fill quickly during peak dinner hours, so booking ahead via Tock is recommended for weekend dining. Islington and Kipling subway stations are within easy transit reach, and street parking lines Dundas Street West. Note that although the dining room opens in the early afternoon, full bar service and alcohol sales begin at 3:00 p.m.
