Specializing in aburi, or flamed-seared, sushi, the act of applying flame directly and lightly searing sushi enhances the natural flavours and textures of the seafood. Miku owner, Seigo Nakamura, innovated the Aburi concept by crafting specialty sauces using non-traditional Japanese ingredients to pair with each type of fish.Located at the corner of Howe Street and Canada Place WayMichelin RecommendedWinner of Wine Spectator Award 2024OpenTable's Top 100 Restaurants 2024Executive Chef: Kazuhiro Hayashi

Above all else, Elio, like its cousin Savio Volpe, celebrates liveliness, warmth and hospitality. Viva la convivialità!Reservations are available for dinner from 5 pm to 10 pm every night, and for brunch on Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays from 10 am to 1:30 pm.

Good food, as usual. Mixed drinks were on point, very good. All 6 of us enjoyed our food. One suggestion for management is to have bread for the table and include soup or salad with an entree. Other than that, it’s a great place to eat and we always enjoy it.
