Have wanted to try this restaurant for a long time. Each dish was beautifully presented, showcasing a variety of flavors, colors, and textures. Surprisingly, the dishes incorporated a lot of Asian flavors paired with French techniques. Most of the dishes were excellent and unique, though there were a couple of misses. The service was good, with attentive staff. The ambiance was decent and comfortable, not suffocating or uncomfortable at all. Overall, I enjoyed my time and dinner here.

In my book, consistently the best food in Toronto. Not the best Mexican food - the best food.

I finally visited Rasa last night with my girlfriend after hearing so many great recommendations, and it did not disappoint! We opted for the $80 tasting menu, and it was absolutely worth it. This place is proof that amazing food doesn’t need to rely on overcomplicated recipes or fancy ingredients. Every dish was thoughtfully paired, and the simple yet skillful preparations delivered incredible flavors. I’m already looking forward to going back to explore more of their menu. Highly recommend!

A lovely setting to enjoy the best hummus I’ve had - couldn’t stop eating the pita. The branzino was cooked perfectly. Our server was a pleasure.
