The innovative dining concept and sister restaurant to RASA, provides a calm oasis in the heart of Toronto’s Entertainment District. The latest collaboration from Adrian Niman and Adam Minster (the team behind RASA) offers a selection of inspired sharing plates. Using local ingredients and refined techniques, SARA’s menu showcases cuisines and cooking practices from around the globe.

SARA ’s thoughtful design — from the furniture to the food — nudges guests to fully immerse themselves in the shared dining experience, disconnect from external distractions, and reconnect with one another.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: This oasis-like restaurant in a two-level Victorian is all about undistracted dining, hinted by the tabletop cubbies for stowing your phones. Power down so you can give your undivided attention to executive chef Lia Silva’s avant-garde and exquisite global small plates like salmon roe latkes with maple kombu, and tuna tartare with black truffle and potato chips.

Food and service were both excellent. The tasting menu consists of many delicious dishes and good portions. Left feeling full and satisfied. For 89 dollars it’s worth it! Must try and highly recommend.

Sara was great. It's a cute little restaurant totally unexpected so it's a nice surprise. The food was absolutely delicious although some plates are small and a little expensive the whole experience was worth it. The service was excellent as well and I can't wait to go back.

Sara is definitely the best restaurant in Toronto. The food is extraordinary, but what truly sets it apart is the exceptional service. Diko is a gem – a true connoisseur with the best recommendations. He is also incredibly kind and welcoming, going above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied. We will definitely return, mainly thanks to Diko – he was simply amazing.

We enjoyed the tasting menu at Sara with the wine pairing added. Each dish was beautifully presented and had a great flavour profile. The staff were very attentive and worked well together bringing out the various dishes.

We had to wait 20 minutes for service after being seated. The food was great but the service was spotty throughout the night rotating through wait staff and food showing up at random intervals. We were promised free drinks and ended up with a bill for them at the end of the evening. Despite being told there was a strict 2 hr seating limit we did not finish our food till 3 hrs after we were seated due to the slow service.
