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.

One of the bar meals I’ve had in Toronto! Got the tasting menu which had tons of amazing dishes. I had a vegetarian style, my fiancé had meat. The portions were perfect, each dish was sooo tasty. We sat at the bar which was cosy. We had the tangerine cocktail to begin which was actually one of the most delicious cocktails I’ve ever had. And we had some white wine with our dinner which was also perfect. The service was great as well. 10/10 experience.

We had a really nice evening at Sara celebrating a birthday and new job. The staff really made it special for us. We sat at the bar which I will always recommend - especially if you’re lucky to have a lovely person like Joey take care of you. The tasting menu was delicious and highly recommended. We love Rasa and Sara will now join our list of favourites.

Food and service were both excellent. The tasting menu consists of many delicious dishes and good portions. Left feeling full and satisfied. For 89 dollars it’s worth it! Must try and highly recommend.

Sara was great. It's a cute little restaurant totally unexpected so it's a nice surprise. The food was absolutely delicious although some plates are small and a little expensive the whole experience was worth it. The service was excellent as well and I can't wait to go back.

Sara is definitely the best restaurant in Toronto. The food is extraordinary, but what truly sets it apart is the exceptional service. Diko is a gem – a true connoisseur with the best recommendations. He is also incredibly kind and welcoming, going above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied. We will definitely return, mainly thanks to Diko – he was simply amazing.
