Adrak
Address: 138 Avenue Road, Toronto, ON
This Michelin-recommended Indian restaurant was the first spotting of the Jonas Brothers in Toronto. They visited Adrak, located in Yorkville, in early January, just before filming started.
The restaurant’s co-founder, Ambica Jain, snapped a picture with the trio, which was posted to Adrak’s Instagram. The post also details some of the dishes that the brothers tried including the Royal Pista Lamb Chops, the Murg Makhni and the Chai Biscuit. If it’s good enough for the Jonas Brothers, it’s definitely good enough for us!
Hemmingway’s
Address: 142 Cumberland Street, Toronto, ON
Jonas Brother fans got the ultimate surprise when Joe, Nick and Kevin stopped by Hemmingway’s in Yorkville. At the time, the bar (which has been a staple in Yorkville for over 40 years) was hosting a Camp Rock-themed trivia night. When the brothers heard this, they knew they had to make an appearance. After all, Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2 were filmed in Ontario in the early aughts.
The boys stopped in, grabbed a beer each and even stayed to ask one trivia question to the group before high-fiving fans on their way out.
Cherry’s High Dive
Address: 488 Wellington St W, Toronto, ON
Cherry’s High Dive is known for its vintage decor, cheetah print pool tables, old-school photo booth and delicious pizza. So, of course, the Jonas Brothers had to stop by while in Toronto. And they weren’t alone! Joining them at this popular spot were members of Canadian bands The Beaches and Arkells. The group enjoyed a game of pool and Joe spent some time in the iconic photo booth.

Crumbl Cookies
Crumbl at The Well
Address: 422 Front Street W, Toronto, ON
Did you know that the Jonas Brothers have their own popcorn company? Created with their former guitar player Greg Garbowsky and his father Rob, Rob’s Backstage Popcorn has a variety of flavours available. In January, the Jonas Brothers and Rob’s Backstage Popcorn teamed up with Crumbl Cookie to create the Rob’s Backstage Caramel Popcorn Cookie.
To celebrate the launch of the cookie, Joe, Nick and Kevin visited the Crumbl location at The Well to try their hand at decorating their cookie. Joined by Crumbl founders Jason McGowan and Sawyer Hemsley, the brothers went live on the Crumbl Instagram and tried their best to match the Crumbl quality we know and love. We hope they took one of Crumbl’s infamous pink boxes home afterwards.

In early February, Joe stopped by Gateau Ghost. This College Street spot started as a COVID pop-up but has recently settled into a permanent location. They are famous for their Madeleines, which are available in a variety of flavours and change every month. Gateau Ghost also serves brunch and recently launched a dinner menu.
Joe popped in and took time to snap a pic with owner Jayden Park.

Prince Street Pizza
Address: 472 Front Street W, Toronto, ON
In a photo posted to Joe’s Instagram, he and Nick pose alongside a stack of pizza boxes. Three of those boxes came from Prince Street Pizza. The New York City pizza joint opened its first Canadian location in late 2023. The walls are famously decorated with pictures of celebrities enjoying Prince Street Pizza. So it’s no surprise that the Jonas Brothers are fans of this famous pizza as well.

Salt and Tabacco
Address: 521 Parliament Street, Toronto, ON
The rest of the pizza boxes in the previously mentioned Instagram post came from Salt and Tobacco. This Cabbagetown spot serves authentic Italian pizza, salads and local beers. They also offer a gluten-free crust and frozen pizzas to take home and save for later.
Paris Paris
Address: 146 Ossington Avenue, Toronto, ON
Joe, Kevin and their youngest brother Frankie (affectionately known as the Bonus Jonas) were spotted at Paris Paris on Ossington earlier this week. They even stopped to take a picture with a couple who was on their first date.
Paris Paris is a staple when it comes to the Ossignton strip. Their menu features a variety of wines, curated cheese and charcuterie, chilled seafood and more.
Cafe Renee | Ryan Nangreaves
Cafe Renée
Address: 100 Portland Street, Toronto, ON
Cafe Renée went viral last year for its delicious and aesthetically pleasing ravioli. It has been nearly impossible to get a reservation at this Italian place ever since. But not for Joe Jonas, who was spotted there in late January thanks to a fan making a TikTok.
Cafe Renée is also known for its creme brulee espresso martini, which Toronto influencer Nat Doumkos included in her round-up of the top espresso martinis in Toronto. Well, we have a feeling Joe may have indulged in an espresso martini because he did like Nat’s post earlier this month. Cheers to that Joe!

Bar Koukla
Address: 88 Ossington Avenue Unit 2, Toronto, ON
This Greek spot is a popular Ossington Avenue destination for a Mediterranean brunch. So we’re not surprised that Joe took his mom out for brunch at this hot spot. Dishes are Athenian-inspired and served in smaller portions. But you know what they say: less is more! Especially when it comes to Bar Koukla’s delicious indulgent dishes.
Fresh Restaurants
Fresh Kitchen and Juice Bar
Address: 7 locations across the Greater Toronto Area
While the Jonas Brothers have not been spotted at Fresh Kitchen and Juice Bar on this Toronto trip, they have gone on record more than once saying the vegan spot is one of their favourite restaurants. In a 2019 interview, Nick shared that Fresh was a spot that all three brothers love whenever they are in Toronto. He went on to say that they love the BBQ burger, with Joe chiming in that he wanted to have it for dinner that night. Kevin agreed with his brothers, citing the burger as one of his favourite guilty pleasure foods.
In 2023, Joe filmed a TikTok with a Canadian fan, where he once again iterated that the BBQ burger from Fresh was one of his favourite things about Toronto.
