What to Order
Blackberry Mojito
A refreshing cocktail with a fruity twist, perfect for starting your evening.
"We enjoyed our wedding anniversary celebration at Aera and had a wonderful time. The restaurant is beautiful, with breathtaking CN tower views. The service is impeccable; Alex hosted our table and was very helpful with the menu selection. The food is delicious with notable mentions going to the Blackberry Mojito, spicy scallop rolls, and the prime-cut Wagyu steak with au jus. In short, the overall experience was spectacular, worthy of celebrations."

Tajima Wagyu Steak with Au Jus
A prime-cut Wagyu steak served with a rich au jus, known for its quality and taste.
"The Tajima Wagyu was flavorful, tender, salted nearly perfectly - but overcooked by at least one level (medium rare looked medium well and was very thin overall for the cut). At half the price this would be a competitive offering."
Noah
Cornbread
A standout side dish with unique flavor combinations that many find delicious.
"Highlights were the cornbread and lobster spaghetti.. and can i mention that the view is phenomenal?!"
Amryl Ajith
Rigatoni Pasta
A perfectly cooked pasta dish, praised for its rich flavor and satisfying texture.
"I ordered the rigatonici I believe is what it was called, and it was hands down the best pasta I’ve ever had. It perfectly cooked and full of flavour."
K S
Truffle Fries
A guilty pleasure side dish, these fries are generously portioned and packed with truffle flavor.
"The truffle fries are definitely a large shareable option - def recommend they tasted amazing!"
