One of Toronto's newest hidden gems is Superfresh, an authentic Asian restaurant and night market located in the city's Bloor West neighbourhood.
Offering an immersive dining experience, the eatery hopes to celebrate not just Asian cuisine but also Asian culture and heritage. Wanting to offer a cultural experience for all its visitors, the eatery features a sign at the entrance that reads "please remove your shoes" while its menu highlights authentic favorites. They include steamed baos and satay Ayam from JaJan along with traditional cocktails with Asian-inspired flavoring.
Customers will also be welcomed with traditional and nostalgic décor such as the fortune cat wall and graffiti created by Asian artists. Within its open dining area, Superfresh also has a Bodega that offers food and snacks, along with a secret speakeasy located in the back quarters requiring a password for entry. Visitors looking to score the password can access it via the Superfresh Instagram account weekly.
