Maru is my favourite restaurant in Toronto. Delicious and innovative Japanese food, served tapas style, with a changing menu. The canapés are incredible. And there are great options for vegetarians. Amazing service too!

We had a fantastic meal at Maru Bistro. The menu has been recently updated to reflect less emphasis on nigiri sushi and maki rolls. Don’t let this influence your decision to dine at Maru, the menu is still full of unique and deliciously tasty items. The service is thoughtful and the atmosphere is very calm.
