Best Romantic Restaurants in Chinatown / Kensington Market

My parents and I had a wonderful dinner outing after my Dad had a conference nearby! Probably one of my favourite spots in the Financial District—hidden away in an office building which was a little difficult to navigate but found our way. I tried the PB Espresso and the Grilled Rigatoni Alla Zozzona, which was absolutely delicious. The dish was full of flavor, and the sausages paired perfectly with the creamy rosé sauce. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely be back!

The food was delicious, the cocktails were fun, colorful, and perfectly crafted, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance—romantic for a date night yet lively enough for a fun girls’ night out. The menu offers a great variety, with enough options to accommodate dietary restrictions, making it a welcoming spot for everyone. The service was nothing short of stellar—attentive and friendly without being overbearing. Highly recommend this spot for any occasion!

This is the place I take all my vegan and non-vegan friends and family when they visit the city. The tasting menu with wine pairing is an awesome price for the quality and thoughtfulness of everything Hawker offers, I’ve never had someone not say it was at least in the top 5 best meals they’d ever had! The cocktails are also wonderful across the board

Everything was beautifully prepared and delicious. The sashimi was very fresh. It was perfect for a quiet dinner with attentive service yet comfortable and not stuffy.

This was a very fun, unique experience in Muskoka that we will remember for years. It was great to have such a special, personal dining experience. The staff was phenomenal, the setting was magical and the food was delicious!
