OMAW

We’re thrilled to have recently re-launched Omaw in the heart of the Ossington strip, where Chef David Schwartz (formerly Rasa) leads a brilliant team in bringing original American-inspired fare and endless late-night vibes to a casual clientele. Omaw’s reservation-only Private Dining Room offers parties of 8 to 12 guests an intimate and specially curated experience with dedicated server and minibar, while Backspace (adjoining Omaw and opening in June) will serve as a venue and nightclub featuring reasonably-priced drinks and bottle service.

RASA & SARA

As Rasa continues a thrilling run on Robert Street with a new summer menu and patio now opened for the season, its sister restaurant – Sara - is about to be born. Inspired by The Food Dudes' recent trip to Japan, this minimalist space at King and Portland (opening August 1st) puts a modern spin on fine dining with exquisite shared plates and an array of flavour profiles. Chef Adrian Niman has developed an all-new menu of snacks, dumplings, small dishes, robata and sweets for guests to enjoy in what's shaping up to be the most elegantly-designed dining space in the city. Those who love Rasa are sure to fall for Sara.

BLONDIES

Finally, Chef Matt Blondin is eager to unveil Blondie’s: his latest project and The Food Dudes’ fun entrée into two new Toronto markets. With an East-end flagship opening in early summer, and a second outpost inside Commerce Court beginning this November, Blondie’s will sling pizza, fresh seasonal salads and homemade soft serve ice cream of the highest quality. Sharing the Commerce Court space will be the third location of Pantry: our one-stop-shop for quick, healthy, protein-driven combo meals. Pantry’s original Carlaw Avenue counter and all-day Rosedale eatery continue to impress and, along with Blondie’s, it’s sure to breathe new life into the business crowd’s dining stable.
