Sara in Toronto is an intimate and design-forward restaurant that recently opened its doors to guests. The aesthetic of the dining establishment is marked by, what local studio Odami describes as, "[earthly minimalism](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/logy)." This style is present throughout the interior, which presents an agreeable fusion of raw elements and subtly smooth [modernist furnishing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fifteen-east).

The business is definitely elevated by a number of unique features. For one, it is set in a [Victorian residence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urbanjobs) and when deciding on the design and layout of the restaurant, Odami put a heavy focus on preserving important historical extensions in the architecture.

With a capacity of 50, Sara in Toronto is able to give individuals a private dining experience that is heavily accented by the contemporary hints in its aesthetic.
