About the restaurant

Fishbone Kitchen & Bar offers a sophisticated and elegant space to compliment our refined and flavorful food. A bright inviting dining room by day for a lively lunch, or a dim and sexy dining room in evening, perfect for date night. Fantastic and unique cocktails like our Smoked Negroni, and delicious smaller dishes to share such as our Deep Fried Brussel Sprouts with Sweet Chili Sauce and Smoked Peanuts are great conversation pieces!

Online bookings are only available up to 6 guests. For larger groups, please contact the restaurant for availability.

About the restaurant

"Proud to be featured in the Michelin Guide"
Zen Japanese Restaurant is aiming for the preservation of the traditional culture of Japanese cuisine, which gives the best impression of the cuisine to the patron while being loved by them.

Canada is a multi-cultural country comprised of people with diverse backgrounds. Zen Japanese Restaurant is formed, in part, from this diversity and strives to become a place where patron could dine comfortably. We believe that the restaurant is also a form of entertainment. By providing great service, beautiful food presentation and delicious cuisine we believe patrons will have the best impression possible of Zen Japanese Restaurant and Japanese cuisine. We believe, as long as we continue with this thought, it is natural for patrons to fall in love with Zen Japanese Restaurant.

Exceptional lunch today. Salmon which happened to be on special was cooked to perfection. I dine out a lot and am fussy so this was impressive to me. Also the raspberry cosmo was delightful. My friend had chicken parmigiana on a bun which was also excellent. Portions just perfect for lunch and price more than reasonable. Our server was very professional and attentive in just the right way. Looking forward to a return visit and investigating their catering services for future occasions.

Serving delicious food, cocktails + wine

The menu is farm to table, hand crafted, local fresh ingredients driven and our Chefs are changing it up twice a year for summer and spring then again fall and winter. Seasonality is a huge part of what we do.

Our cocktails are innovative, trendy, made in house with the finest ingredients and we are proud to also follow a seasonal menu changing it up to make sense with what is available locally.

Let’s just say we love us a good spritz or a margarita, cocktailling is our passion.

Our wine is causally upscale offering you private labels at affordable prices

We take dining seriously and our goal is giving you the best experience paired with the most quality items
