Playa Cabana is setting up sister Cantina in the Junction

Dave Sidhu, owner of the Annex’s Playa Cabana, will be opening Playa Cantina at 2883 Dundas West in the coming weeks, bringing authentic Mexican food to the Junction. Sidhu doesn’t plan to deviate too far from what made Cabana successful: he’s sticking to staples like tacos, burritos and a ceviche of the day. But the sister restaurant won’t be a complete clone. There’s a seven-seat raw bar, and a new focus on cocktails (a cantina is a bar, after all). With Cantina joining Indie Alehouse, located across the street, and the otherwise nameless 3030 Dundas West, the once dry Junction is becoming something of a boozy destination. We think Indie Alehouse summed up the emerging atmosphere best in a tweet: “Tequila! And craft beer. What could go wrong?”
