About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Innovative
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 was great. Seating at the bar was super tight. Guy next to us was very loud and didn’t stop yapping. Couldn’t hear the bartender explain the dishes (tasting menu) due to noise.

    I took my girlfriend here for her birthday dinner. We had such a beautiful time! The staff here are so courteous and helpful. They really went well above our expectations. Emma (? I think this was her name) was so helpful and friendly. She really went out of her way to make us have such an enjoyable evening. Also, she really knows her wine! We loved that. Joey, our server at the bar was absolutely perfect. He knew exactly how to take care of us. The food came at perfect intervals, allowing us to properly finish our wines without feeling rushed. He paired the wines deliciously and helped describe the nose and palate and how it would taste with our meal. It was such a lovely evening. Thank you!! <3

    Tasting menu was amazing, added the fried chicken at Mollys recommendation and it’s probably the best we’ve had in a long time. Molly’s hospitality was top notch

    After having had COVID-19, I thought I had lost my sense of taste, but Sara brought it back again! The seasoning with mustard, aioli, and wasabi was done just right. This was a charming experience, not only the food but also the restored Victorian row house environment and the friendly and efficient service. We'll be back!
