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.

There may be a chill in the air, but our Yorkville patio is still one of the coziest spots in Toronto this fall. Settle in beside one of our patio heaters, wrap up in a warm blanket, and enjoy seasonal dishes and cocktails outdoors at Sassafraz. Patio seating is first come, first served, so drop by and join us. We hope to see you soon.
