The newly relaunched SOCO Kitchen + Bar at Delta Hotels Toronto presents a comprehensive reimagining of the original dining concept. The revamping project brings together contemporary design with a menu that celebrates Canada’s regional ingredients while embracing Toronto’s multicultural identity.
SOCO Kitchen + Bar's revamped interior was crafted by Navigate Design, which strove to strike a balance between urban sophistication and warmth. Inside, the establishment features custom furnishings, industrial-inspired accents, and an optimized layout for both social gatherings and business meetings. The restaurant's culinary offerings, on the other hand, spotlight local sourcing — from the Martins Farm beef and Voltigeurs Farm poultry to PEI potatoes. Dishes range from elevated comfort food like the signature Soco Burger, which donates proceeds to charity, to refined plates such as steak tartare with artisanal accompaniments.
