PAROS, reimagined, fully renovated and reopened in Toronto’s Yorkville, is now the neighbourhood spot.
The newly reimagined PAROS Supper Club — artfully designed by Victoria Opacak of All In The Design Inc. — invites you to experience the enchanting allure of Santorini and Mykonos right in Toronto’s glamorous Yorkville. But PAROS is not just reopening — it’s redefining the supper-club experience in Toronto.
Its new Taverna, an indoor lounge with an intimate setting and Grecian flair, is perfect for an evening of cocktails, conversation and late-night energy. Its Padēō is a design-forward patio for chic outdoor dining that captures the essence of golden hour on the Aegean coast.
What truly positions PAROS for success is the powerhouse team behind it. Its four co-owners — Josh Herman, Sam Reznick, Sean Kane and Matt Kostandoff — each bring experience from some of the city’s most recognized venues, including Parc Ave, Ultraviolet, Infinity Room and Future Nightclub.
City Life had the opportunity to sit down with Toronto nightlife’s finest to discuss what makes PAROS stand out from everything else in the city.
“Our goal with this project is to create something that’s still rare in Toronto,” says Reznick. “As space that blends dining — a supper-club vibe — and elevated nightlife all under one roof. There aren’t many venues in the city that do that.”
Yorkville has always had the right density of culture, design and international sensibility. It was obvious that the PAROS team saw an opportunity to introduce a concept that fits locally and that a global audience recognizes.
Of course, that is easier said than done, but as Kostandoff says,“When you spend years managing energy — understanding when a room peaks, how people move, what makes them stay — you start to see hospitality differently. At PAROS, the goal wasn’t to just build a restaurant or a lounge, it was to create a space that’s alive and self-aware.”
While Kane adds that one of the challenges their team encountered was “designing a space that works at 2 p.m. and at midnight” — sustaining that vibrant energy at any hour — one of the strengths adding to the team’s chemistry is the fact that they all come from different disciplines: culinary, creative and experiential.
PAROS blends Aegean-inspired cuisine with a Toronto twist, offering elevated coastal fare including freshly grilled seafood, vibrant meze, and a signature Greek salad that reflects their care for detail. From Wednesday to Saturday a rotating DJ lineup brings lively energy, creating the perfect atmosphere for dining, sharing and celebrating.
What is in store for the future of PAROS? “Longevity,” Herman says. “This isn’t about hype — it’s about staying power. If we can continue evolving without losing our identity, we’ve done something rare.”
