aKin

Asian RestaurantToronto$$$$

aKin is one of the best asian restaurant restaurants in Toronto for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Toronto.

Ayo Adeyemi's Bloorcourt restaurant is one of the most exciting things to happen to Toronto dining in recent years. The West African-inspired tasting menu draws on Nigerian flavour profiles while staying grounded in Ontario ingredients. The suya-spiced lamb and the egusi-braised greens are revelatory. This is a room with a voice.
