Last Friday longtime lunch spot the Montreal Grill’s (5151 George Street) served its last meals, took a final bow and shut down its busy downtown location for good in the name of retirement. But its space won’t lay dormant for long—with its current address (1820 Hollis Street) slated for demolition, Anna’s Cafe & Grill will make the move across the street.
And owner Anna Anjoul couldn’t be happier. She plans to be serving up the breakfast, fresh salads, shawarma, falafel and other Lebanese-inspired eats at her new home by June 16. Anjoul’s next-door-neighbour Bluenose II Restaurant, which will also be affected by the demo, has already opened its second location at 7071 Bayers Road. Glad to see both these delicious spots sticking around.

Phew! Don’t know what I’d do without Anna’s… best shawarma in town.
