Campaniae Restaurant: New French-Moroccan Spot Opens at Yorkdale Mall
Toronto just welcomed Campaniae restaurant, a French-Moroccan spot Toronto diners are quickly falling in love with. Located inside Yorkdale Shopping Centre, Campaniae blends luxe design with North African flavours that are personal, bold, and comforting. It’s the newest venture by the team behind Delysées, the bakery brand known for its elegant pastries and cafés.
Campaniae offers more than just upscale mall dining. It’s a tribute to co-owner Fred Naggar’s Casablanca roots, reimagined through a modern Canadian lens. From custom interiors to family-inspired recipes, every element is meant to feel both indulgent and familiar.
Campaniae Restaurant in Toronto with Deep Roots
Fred and Khariz Naggar opened Campaniae with one mission: to honour Fred’s mother’s cooking. “We grew up eating this food. My mom taught our chefs the traditional way, and we each added our touch,” Fred shares.
Key features of Campaniae:
- Location: Inside Yorkdale Shopping Centre, Toronto
- Menu: Tapas-style French-Moroccan dishes, kids’ options available
- Vibe: Custom velvet seating, luxury lighting, cozy curtains
- Drinks: Champagne bar featuring Veuve, Dom Pérignon, and Moroccan-inspired cocktails
- Signature plates: Couscous Merguez, Roasted Moroccan Sea Bass, Moroccan cigars, and briouats
- Desserts: Limited Delysées classics and exclusive treats like Le Duo de Delysées
What sets Campaniae apart isn’t just its ambiance. The use of North African spices and traditional ingredients—like date shrubs, beets, and ras el hanout—gives every bite richness and complexity.

Despite the glitz, the space is welcoming. “It’s not just a fancy restaurant. It’s where our food becomes a shared story,” says Fred. With its Champagne partnership and a diverse menu, Campaniae serves shoppers, families, and food lovers alike.
The mix of upscale mall energy with homestyle meals has made it a standout in Toronto’s growing food scene. It’s a place where French techniques meet Moroccan soul, one mezze at a time.
