Set in an array of Victorian rowhouses, Sassafraz Restaurant has evolved through the decades to become a magical space in the heart of historic Yorkville Toronto. Located downtown at the corner of Bellair and Cumberland, the little yellow house has “seen it all” from the early hippie movement of the 60’s to the lack of movement that comes from too much Bordeaux. Sassafraz offers an exceptional menu serving market-driven, French-inspired Canadian cuisine.

Wh**ky lovers, this one's for you. Butter and Barrel starts with wh**ky fat-washed in butter for a smooth, velvety sip. Mezcal adds a soft smokiness, chocolate bitters bring depth, and an orange peel garnish brightens it up. Come to Sassafraz in Yorkville to find your new favourite Toronto cocktail. Make a reservation inside or drop by and say hello.
