Hashimoto Restaurant

A healthy dose of spirituality is on the menu at this extraordinary North York restaurant, where all the senses are engaged in a culinary experience that's been ranked as the most costly in Toronto. A meditative atmosphere designed to relax both mind and body set the scene for a meal wherein shoeless guests sit on the floor on tatami mats to enjoy traditional Kaiseki dishes served by kimono-wrapped waiters that arrive in small portions made up of individually prepared exquisite ingredients that draw on the season for inspiration. The artful presentation of the six-course lunch, and eight-course dinner extravaganzas in this family-run operation, is utterly stunning.
