Absolutely a wonderful experience beyond expectations! Staff and service were top-notch. They are extremely attentive to details and took every step to make us feel like VIP guests....for everyone in the restaurant. BTW The meal... extraordinary! Flavours took your taste buds on a soothing ride on an ocean with some spices coming out from the skies like rays of sunshine 🌞. Thank you for sharing the talents and curating a memorable evening. You will definitely see us and our friends again soon 😎

What a treat! We went with another couple for our anniversary and had the condensed blind tasting menu. The food and drinks were great, staff is incredible. I would highly recommend Azura for a special occasion or if you're looking for an interesting culinary experience.

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at Azura & it did not disappoint! We took a trip around the Mediterranean with the Chef’s 10 course tasting menu with wines paired to go with the courses! Service was also exemplary!

The whole evening was amazing. The experience of not having to decide what to order and be invited to sample so many things that I would never make for myself and never think to order made for a relaxing and enjoyable evening. The wine and spirit pairings were perfect as well, and hearing about the regions that the wines come from was interesting and enhanced the experience

Plenty of delicious and beautifully presented plates. Amazing value for a Toronto tasting menu. Get there before it gets too popular ! Each plate provided a beautiful experience and the staff were very attentive, friendly and helpful. This place has all the positive reviews for a very good reason. It's legit. Amazing special touches that brings your experience to another level.

Wonderful, creative and imaginative tasting menu. Delicious food and excellent and friendly service. A great addition to the local restaurant scene. It is like a trip to the French Laundry without the wait for reservations, the airfare and the pretension.

Decent tasting menu experience. Dishes had some Mediterranean ingredients but was not recognizably Mediterranean in flavours or concept. Like wild leeks with n'duja oil. However, most dishes were tasty. Expect loose inspiration from the Mediterranean and Ontario. My favourite was the shrimp profiterole, a little explosion of shrimp goodness. There were a few misses, like beets with multiple competing ingredients. We went on a packed Saturday evening. Perhaps they are still working on their rhythm but the pacing was very slow. It took almost 3.5 hours to serve 12 courses, and the portions were small. Other fine dining restaurants finish a sitting in 1.5 to 3 hours. On the positive side, I appreciate that Azura offers a condensed tasting menu for those who want a lighter and more economical meal. Some of my companions did the full menu and others did the condensed. Surprisingly, nearly all the dishes were different for both menus. There was no clear favourite. However, I recommend telling the waitstaff whether to synchronize the condensed menu with the full one, or else some diners would have to wait even longer between courses (which happened to my group). In an age of inflation, I'm happy that Azura has managed to keep costs reasonable for a tasting menu. Good food doesn't need to have lobster, caviar, truffles, and other premium ingredients. With more refining of some of the dishes, this can be an excellent restaurant.
