Toronto’s iconic Senator Restaurant & Bar has finally reopened after a two year hiatus, and they’ve introduced a whole new dinner menu.
The Senator is Toronto's oldest restaurant and is just minutes away from Massey Hall and Ed Mirvish Theatre. This 1940s-style restaurant will be open from Tuesday to Saturday for patrons, new and old, to dine in.
“We’ve been feeding guests for generations and have been the go-to common place for high-quality comfort food that isn’t ‘commonplace,’” says Bobby Sniderman, who has been the owner of The Senator since 1984.
Originally built in 1850 as a home, the restaurant adopted its current name in 1948, influencing its jazz-themed decor that many love and recognize as part of The Senator’s atmosphere.
“The Senator has been my life’s work and after what our team, and the city, has faced over the last two years, we look forward to welcoming guests back more than ever - where they can feel taken care of,” says Sniderman.
In collaboration with Chef Eoin Ramsbottom, the two have worked together to create an all new menu that is meant for family sharing, one that reflects the Senator’s loyalty towards curating locally sourced products.
The new menu includes chicken pot pie, steak and revamped classic Senator dishes, like the house cured salmon. Guests will be surprised to find that the Senator has also added honey to classic cocktail drinks, and it's served from the restaurant's very own farm.
While live music and brunch are not back at the restaurant just yet, the Senator will be bringing in an all new menu for breakfast and its live performances, from the likes of jazz and mariachi music.
Find The Senator at 249 Victoria St, Toronto.
