About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Innovative

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.

My boyfriend and I chose the tasting menu for his birthday dinner, and it was truly excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed every dish—each one was impressive and thoughtfully prepared. The value was also fantastic for the number of tasting items we received. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone!

As it was our first visit here, we opted for the tasting menu. And, every single course was FANTASTIC!! We enjoyed all of the small dishes - the ahi tuna on potato chip, the hamachi was so fresh, the potato pancake with salmon roe, the chopped salad - was so refreshing, the Reuben sandwich was decadent but most of all, my husband who HATES brussels sprouts, actually loved these. And he said that the french fries that came with the perfectly cooked steak were the best fries he has ever tasted. He also loved the wine - the Bordeaux blend that was just as the server stated was merlot forward. All winners!

We have been to both Rasa and Sara and they are great. However, Sara did surpass our expectations. Tasting menu of 9 courses for $89pp was a really good deal (Wednesday $69pp). Great food, cozy restaurant and outstanding service. Definitely recommend making a reservation if you don’t want to wait because it does get full. Seating Tip: Try to avoid corner tables in the second floor. They are a little small and usually given to 2 people, but you almost feel like you are seating with the table next to you. I’m glad they were able to relocate us to a separate 2-people table.
