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.

    The Wednesday tasting menu was excellent and very plentiful. The service was attentive and seamless. Our only difficulty was the noise level- the space is small, tables are close, and it was hard for the four of us to talk.

    Excellent food and service for the most part. Shareables were delicious and so was the steak. Desserts were average. Ambiance was ok but plain and nothing to write home about but not unpleasant. I would recommend it.

    What an incredible experience yet again at SARA! Benji & staff make their guests feel right at home from the moment you walk through the door. What a journey the Chef’s take you on with their menu - each plate perfectly thought out. This restaurant never disappoints & we can’t wait to return! Thank you to the entire team at SARA for an unforgettable evening!

    Had an amazing experience for my anniversary dinner! The ambience and space is stunning and loved that they had an area on the table to put phones in to have less distractions during dinner. My partner and I did the tasting menu and it was excellent. Every dish was well balanced and full of flavour. The staff were also great - super knowledgeable and friendly and it was the perfect meal!

    We had an incredible experience at Sara. Every dish was delicious, the staff were incredibly kind and the ambiance of the restaurant was top notch. We celebrated there right before our wedding and we were so glad that we’re did! We’ll definitely be back!

    Sat at the bar and what an amazing experience! The bartender was very good at explaining the plates, drinks and wine parings. WOW, what an experience. The ambience was great, the food more so, and the staff was the topping on the cake! Overall Sara was a 10 out of 10. Can’t wait to return here for more of this amazing experience. Thank you SARA for an amazing evening in your care.

    Lovely birthday dinner with family. The server was great - answered all the questions patiently and gave good advice about menu choices. Food was excellent. $14 cocktails were a generous pour. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. You def get the sense that they know customer service and you are made to feel like they are legitimately pleased you chose to eat there. The place is a bit noisy but that’s the Toronto restaurant vibe I guess? Def recommend.
