Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Chinatown / Kensington Market

Honestly the music was a bit loud, but it’s nothing that stops this place from a 5 star.

The food is consistently delicious and they were able to adapt dishes for food allergies and lifestyle. In addition, the people working at Sunny’s are attentive and so nice! Don’t miss out on a great place!

We decided to use Winterlicious to try out Aera. First of all the view is amongst the best in North America , overlooking the city with the CN tower and lakes in full view. Truly breathtaking. Our server was highly attentive. We both started with the Beet and Goats Cheese salad which was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. My wife had the Salmon Pone Bowl with Edamame, Avocado, Quinoa flavoured with ginger and a delicious sauce. I had the Pork Loin Schnitzel with some of the best roasted potatoes I have ever eaten. The star of the meal however was the Sticky Toffee Pudding which came with praline encrusted ice cream, it scored 20 out of 10. From this first experience we have decided to celebrate our anniversary this year with dinner and some nice wine at Aera and to enjoy the full menu experience. I have had the luck through my career to have eaten at many of the worlds finest restaurants, I do not exaggerate when I say I would place Aera in my top 10 for ambience and quality. A real experience

First time here and I will be back! The restaurant its self is so beautiful! The food is amazing !!! They wagyu tacos and lamb chops were definitely a hit including the shrimps! The service was sooo good our server was so sweet & patient, very talkative & informative. We were celebrating a birthday and had an amazing night, overall experience was 10/10.

Each dish was innovative and unique, combining flavor profiles that compliment each other. We went with our servers recommendation of the venison carpaccio, leeks dish, crab noodles and duck. We especially were blown away by the venison, leeks and crab noodles. I would definitely be back, it’s a nice alternative to all the other Toronto restaurants who create the same five dishes over and over again.
