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.

    You can tell there is a lot of love put into the food here. The servers did try to give us a great experience. I think it was a bit loud, the acoustics inside are not great on the 2nd floor (the minimal aesthetic is nice, but there is no sound cushioning). One of the dishes was sent back to the kitchen because it was served cold when it should have been warm at the least. They were super gracious about it and didn't charge us for it.

    Thoughtful service attentive without hovering. A minor adjustment to the tasting menu accepted for which we were appreciative. Food was well balanced; textures, flavours, perfect portions, interesting, creative, unpredictable, variations inspired by many culinary traditions, engaging without being pretentious, a pleasure all around. Will happily return and have already recommended it to friends, especially if they are experienced restaurant goers. Thanks Sara. Getting it right!

    For a Michelin star restaurant the food was good, flavour profiles on point. However the service seemed a little robotic as if they were going through the motions, and the staff attire threw us off. All in all we prefer the sister restaurant RASA for food, ambience, service and price point.

    The tasting menu experience was exceptional, complemented by attentive and professional staff. Every dish was thoughtfully crafted, making the experience well worth the price. The profiterole was so delectable that I couldn’t resist ordering a second one.
