It’s barely 6 pm and Rasa is already slammed. “Our customers are always such an eclectic mix of people,” says co-owner Adam Minster before turning to discuss the night’s cocktail options with a couple of older ladies who recently pulled up to the bar.
“We’re regulars,” explains one of the women. “This is our local, we come here a few times a week and we love it – the menu changes often, so we never get bored,” she says while tucking into the fish board. The board features a trio of fish prepared in different ways. Tonight’s triplet is a caprese albacore tuna with tomato confit and basil sauce, a jerked steelhead trout with apple relish and plantain chips, and the final pescatarian delight: smoked branzino with dill crème fraiche, orange caviar and mustard chips.

Brilliant service from start to finish combined with a delicious meal. The Chickpea fritters and chopped salad remain absolute gems of this menu. We loved the lamb dumplings and the red snapper as well. Thank you for a great experience.

I firmly believe Rasa is one of the most delicious restaurants I’ve been to. I love that it’s designed for sharing, and the server explains all details so we don’t miss a thing. Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff, beautiful interior and fabulous patio. This testing is an absolute gem!

We were a party of two and I had been to Rasa but my dinner guest had not and we really appreciated learning that some of the dishes could be halved so we were able to order 6 dishes for my dinner guest to try. She was so impressed by the quality and interesting dishes and said she enjoyed the food more than her last tasting menu dining experience. Great cocktails, service was paced just right for us and we were not rushed out the door even though we did not order dessert. Lovely time.

A great summer evening on the patio. Really enjoyed the variety and style of the food. Personally would have appreciated some beer taps, but that's a minor quibble. Service was friendly and professional - servers knew the menu items well.

Casual yet intimate atmosphere. Food was amazing and of perfect size for sharing. Attentive service that took such good care of us the whole night. Given the special occasion, we were pleasantly surprised by the firecracker that came with the pretty and delicious slice of lemon cake (sweet ending indeed). Overall, definitely worth a second visit and spreading the word around.

Another unbelievably delicious meal at Rasa. Half the battle of having a successful restaurant is the people who work there. Rasa has the best. Molly and Emily are the dynamic duo. We always know it’s going to be a fantastic evening when we see their smiling faces when we walk in. Dinner last night was OMG!! Your chopped salad, brussel sprouts and burger, yum! Never fail to disappoint Love your new key lime dessert. Definitely one of Toronto’s best!

Eating at Rasa is always a great experience. The food and the service in particular stand out and it is always my first choice of restaurant to take out-of-town guests to as I did recently. All four of my friends loved the experience and as usual, we were made to feel extremely welcome and valued as guests. We tried a few of the new menu items and loved them and of course the chopped salad won rave reviews. A wonderful evening was had by all.

Cocktails were extremely overpriced for what they were. The food was good but overhyped and portions were quite small for family style servings. We were expecting the food to be better than it was.

Food Dudes, Toronto's gastronomers extraordinaire, took on yet another project in 2014, renovating a corner space to create the perfect balance of rustic and industrial-modern, with heavy wood panelling, parlour-esque tufted leather bar stools, bare Emerson light bulbs, exposed pipe and a whole lot of wrought iron. Warm and hunky – a little urban cabin at the corner of Harbord and Robert Street (just west of Spadina) – that’s the vibe you’ll get at Rasa. Eclectic food options that blend North American and Mediterranean cuisines include tzatziki-accompanied lamb neck, pork belly and green tomatoes, and Thai basil and coconut shrimp.
