Toronto restaurateur Peter Oliver, who started with a sandwich shop in midtown Toronto in the 70s and went on to become a recognizable name around the city’s restaurant scene, has passed away.
Hospitality, the company which bears his name, announced Oliver’s death in an online post Thursday.
The company said Oliver was diagnosed with late-stage cancer over a year ago in May 2021, “a challenge he faced head-on with strength and grace.” Oliver was born in Cape Town, South Africa and moved to Montreal in 1967 to attend McGill University. That was when he opened his first restaurant in midtown Toronto, a small sandwich shop called Oliver’s Old Fashioned Bakery, located at Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue.
