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.

Some matches keep you on the edge of your seat. These cocktails do the same. Meet The Yellow Card and Nail Biter, two limited-time soccer-inspired features at Sassafraz.
The Yellow Card combines Antler Cedar Gin, Luxardo Lemoncello, St-Germain, lemon juice, honey syrup, and Prosecco, finished with a fresh lemon wheel garnish. Alongside it, Nail Biter brings together Hendrick's Gin, Poli Airone Rosso, apple juice, lime juice, simple syrup, and tonic water for a refreshing finish.
From the first whistle to stoppage time, these limited-time cocktails are worth cheering for. Experience them at Sassafraz while they're here.
