Azura

We had the full tasting menu, the flavors were creative and delicious. Pricing was also quite reasonable and the service was great! Will be back again!

Incredible tasting menu experience for a special occasion. (Price for 2 with cocktail pairings, tax and tip came to $700+) The service was unparalleled - very attentive, but without being too in your face, and extremely accommodating to dietary restrictions (no dairy for half the party). We visited for an anniversary and they surprised us with personalized and handwritten card, which was a nice touch. They also took a Polaroid photo at the end for us to take home. Every dish was described to the utmost detail and the components were complex and innovative. Portions were large compared to typical tasting menus (some of the later mains could have passed for full size portions it felt like) and we couldn’t finish the last few dishes. The desserts were on the weaker side compared to the rest of the menu for us, but we loved the apps and mains. We opted for cocktail pairings - 1 alcohol and 1 spirit free, pricing was similar for both (around $100 each), included around 5 drinks. Drinks were creative (such as one being an olive oil based drink) and large as well, and we couldn’t finish the last few. Worth trying either the pairing or just ordering à la carte if you’re into trying something very different, though it might not be for everyone as some of the drinks were definitely “out there”.

Wanted to start off by saying service was great. We came for our 5 year anniversary as we love tasting menus. The food wasn’t what we expected, not saying it was bad but no dish stood out. One course was an entire leek and the flavour was so strong I couldn't eat it and had to give it to my husband who eats anything. We both got the cocktail pairing but I got the alcohol free option which was only 10$ less than the alcoholic pairing (for 5 drinks). Two of the drinks I couldn't finish (tried really hard) as one was a VERY intense bell pepper flavored cocktail and the other was a Turkish olive oil cocktail that tasted like drinking a salad dressing. For an almost 600$ meal (with tip) we just expected more. Nonetheless, service was amazing.

I heard it's worth checking out the food on the Danforth and Azura was quite a way to start. I was totally blown away by the originality of this menu! I haven't had flavors like this in any other restaurant in the city. We got the tasting menu, with the cocktail and spirit free pairings. From the amouse bouche to the desert I was in heaven. A favorite was the confit duck and gazpacho, the maple leaf was also a very interesting dish. The cocktails were by far some of the best I've ever tried, the sumach and honey gin sour, the purple drink, is my new favorite cocktail ever! The sprit free pairings were also very fun with some fermentation and they complemented the dishes perfectly. Desert was amazing, I left so full I could barely move! Azura is a must try spot, I'll be back soon!

This was a great experience! 10 course tasting menu with wine pairings! Everything was absolutely delicious and the service was impeccable. My only negative comment would be that although this was a fantastic meal - the whole experience took 3 hours (that’s a bit long for dinner)

Our experience at Azura was exceptional from start to finish! We were celebrating my wife’s birthday and arrived with a handwritten birthday card on the table in her name. The food was outstanding and unique. When leaving they provided us with a photo and menus of our 7 courses that continuously change! Highly recommended!

From appetizers to sweets, this restaurant well surpassed our expectations! The tasting menu has an extensive variety of options, and everything we tried was great. I really enjoyed the creative takes on experimenting and elevating every ingredient. We went for a birthday dinner , and they offered us a free polaroid picture taken at the end which was so nice. Also, they welcome our little one which can be an option for couples who has toddler and want to experience tasting menus ❤️ Overall, eating at this restaurant was a pleasure from beginning to end. The wonderful cuisine, amazing service, and attractive atmosphere created a memorable experience.

It was such a pleasure to come here for my birthday! This was such a fun experience, good job to the boyfriend for discovering this hidden gem. First off let’s start with the service, EVERYONE there was super professional, attentive and passionate about their job. Extremely knowledgable about the menu and ingredients used for each dish. The ambiance was nice, chill yet classy. Every dish I had during my 6 course was amazing. I had such a great time listening about every ingredient used and the mediterranean flavour combos. I also had a wine pairing for my dishes, which enhanced the flavours of each of my meals even more. Their cocktails were also amazingly delicious as well as their non-alcoholic drinks. Ive heard that their menu rotates often or everyday so I can’t wait to come back and try the other dishes.
