History
Established in February 2017, Grey Gardens is the creation of Toronto restaurateur Jen Agg, who previously founded 'The Black Hoof'.[1] The establishment features a modern culinary approach with a seasonal a la carte selection.[2][3] Agg sought to fill a niche in Toronto’s dining scene by creating a "lively wine bar serving outstanding food."[4]
At its inception, the kitchen was under the leadership of executive chef and co-owner Mitch Bates, who brought experience from Michelin-starred Momofuku Ko and Toronto’s Shoto, both affiliated with David Chang’s Momofuku group.[5]
Recognition
Grey Gardens received the Bib Gourmand distinction from the Michelin Guide during Toronto's 2022 awards event and successfully maintained this honor through 2023 and 2024. This accolade recognizes establishments delivering "exceptionally good food at moderate prices." The Michelin Guide commended the venue for its "superb wine selection" and highlighted the house-made pastas as a "standout feature."
