Restaurant open on Xmas eve

Looking for a place to eat. Black Hoof is closed. Something in that area (Ossington, Dundas West). How about Brockton General, Enoteca Sociale, Campagnole?

Also any feedback on Ame (is this still open) and Origin?

      For whatever reason, the full link from www.opentable.com doesn't work once you type in a specific date.
      To the OP, right now, 79 restaurants show some sort of availability on Christmas Eve, including Modus, Volos, One (in Yorkville), Paese on King W, Scarpetta, Bannock, etc.

      If you follow any restaurant's tweets, some will tweet if they plan to be open Xmas Eve or during the holidays. I would expect most sceney Ossington and Dundas W restaurants like Black Hoof to be closed on Xmas Eve. Any that are open will likely tweet about it. Some that plan to close will also tweet about it.

      Enoteca is closed the 24th, 25th & 1st.
      From Twitter: We will be closed on Dec 24 & 25 as well as Jan 1 for the holiday season. Have a happy holiday & new year from all of us @EnoSociale !

      Christmas Eve is the also the Feast of the Seven Fishes for some Italians, and kind of a big deal, so the Italian restaurants run by Italians, might be less likely to be open Xmas Eve (to give their staff a break), than Italian restaurants run by non-Italians (like Paese).

      I would guess Chinatown's favourites will also be busy Xmas Eve and Xmas Day.

      So far most of the places I called are closed on Xmas eve (Libretto, Enoteca, Origin, Drake, Brockton, Atlantic).

        Ame is dead.
