Bistro 990 is a restaurant in Toronto, Canada.[1][2] The bistro serves Provençal style French cuisine in an informal atmosphere.[3] It was opened in 1988 by chef Chris Klugman, who was responsible for several notable Toronto restaurants. The current chef is Christopher Hounsell.
The restaurant is a popular Toronto eatery for actors and other celebrities.[4] It is located on Bay Street and Wellesley, just opposite the elite Sutton Place Hotel, and near most of Toronto's other luxury hotels.[5] This district is also the centre of the annual Toronto International Film Festival. The Bistro has thus become popular among visiting celebrities.[6]
In February 2011 it was announced that Bistro 990 will close and the land will be used for a 32-storey condominium.[7]
