TOKO Restaurant & Lounge, the award winning contemporary Japanese concept that revolutionised Japanese dining in Australia, has spread its wings internationally with the opening of the first TOKO restaurant outside of Sydney, at the Vida Downtown Hotel in Dubai.
Admired for their presentation style, TOKO’s food is authentic yet not traditional and offers diners a modern interpretation of Japanese cuisine. Adopting unique and innovative techniques, Toko Group Executive Chef, Benjamin Orpwood and his team have created dishes that explore the harmony between texture and taste. The experience is one that is complete – from the food, to the design, to the drinks. Signature dishes include Tenaga Ebi No Nigiri (Scampi Fois Gras and Truffle), Sake No Aburi Yaki (Smoked Salmon Robatta) and Blackmore Wagyu Beef from Australia.
The design of TOKO Dubai uses a minimalist neutral palette featuring beautiful natural timbers and streamlined joinery to create an impeccably detailed setting. After designing the Sydney location, the owners of TOKO approached Australian architect, Matthew Darwon, believing he was the only designer who could deliver such a welcoming and intimate environment, whilst sustaining a sense of the traditional aesthetics.
This new hotspot should be the next on your dining list.
