    My husband and I did the eight course tasting menu on New Year’s Eve with wine pairings, for the second year in a row. Stofa NEVER disappoints. Courses are always interesting and very flavourful. Wine pairings were excellent. Our compliments to the chef!

    We were at Stofa for New Year's Eve: bar seating and 8 course tasting menu. A fantastic experience. Each course beautifully presented.

    Excellent 5 course menu, with unique ingredients and delicious, high degree of difficulty dishes. One of our favourites we keep coming back to.

    Stofa is one of our favourite restaurants anywhere. The service is fantastic, the food is delicious, beautiful, and clever. The wine list is excellent and the cocktails are wonderful. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed ourselves each time we visited. Note: the kitchen does a wonderful job of accommodating food sensitivities. We look forward to our next visit.

    The food was wonderfully creative, with unusual combinations that worked beautifully. The seasoning was spot on while also being intriguing. Service was exemplary. It didn't matter who you spoke with, all the staff were well-versed with the menu. They don't have a lot of staff and everyone seemed to pitch in. Noise is usually an issue for us, but not at Stofa. We loved the discrete funky music and looked around to see what had been done to ensure that it didn't overpower the room. A lot! All in all, a wonderful experience and exceptional meal.
