Popular West Coast restaurant, Cactus Club Cafe is about to open its second location in the GTA this week.

That’s right, Torontonians will be able to enjoy the chain’s undeniably delicious and modern Canadian cuisine starting this Wednesday, October 24, at Sherway Gardens.

The new location is part of the shopping centre’s major $550-million redevelopment that has brought several new high-end retail and dining options to Sherway.

The menu will feature a mix of signature dishes, such as Chef Feenie’s Butternut Squash Ravioli with Prawns, as well as new highlights including Chef Vitiello’s Lobster and Prawn Tagliatelle Nero with pistachio green chili pesto and Mediterranean-inspired Salmon Fresca with fresh herbs, baby gem tomatoes, shaved fennel and hummus.
