About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Charming
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.

    First visit to SARA after many visits to RASA. Delicious food and good sized portions so you enjoy many items. Cocktails are fabulous - as always. And the service is top notch! A friendly and down to earth team. We were lucky to be able to sit outside on the back patio - a quiet oasis is a busy downtown area. We’ll be back!

    Benji and the team are legends. Amazing food and service. You need to get the Wagyu Ruben and the fried chicken.

    This was my first time at SARA and we tried the tasting menu. It gave us the chance to try their 10 best dishes which we loved. The tuna tartar with black truffle was amazing, ou appetizers also included hamachi with Daisho broth, kale salad with wasabi peas and green grapes, there was also a tasty scallop dish with puréed cauliflower. For the mains we had NY strip and Argentinian shrimp with sweet potato purée. all the other amazing dishes! The cocktails were tasty and we paired the meal with a Tinto Fina red recommended by the server. Great choice!
