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 at 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.

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.

The Wednesday tasting menu was excellent and very plentiful. The service was attentive and seamless. Our only difficulty was the noise level- the space is small, tables are close, and it was hard for the four of us to talk.

Excellent food and service for the most part. Shareables were delicious and so was the steak. Desserts were average. Ambiance was ok but plain and nothing to write home about but not unpleasant. I would recommend it.

What an incredible experience yet again at SARA! Benji & staff make their guests feel right at home from the moment you walk through the door. What a journey the Chef’s take you on with their menu - each plate perfectly thought out. This restaurant never disappoints & we can’t wait to return! Thank you to the entire team at SARA for an unforgettable evening!

Had an amazing experience for my anniversary dinner! The ambience and space is stunning and loved that they had an area on the table to put phones in to have less distractions during dinner. My partner and I did the tasting menu and it was excellent. Every dish was well balanced and full of flavour. The staff were also great - super knowledgeable and friendly and it was the perfect meal!
