Toronto already has a castle on a hill, and soon it will have a very good reason to climb it for dinner. Bushido, a Japanese restaurant bringing kaiseki-style dining to Casa Loma, is listed as coming soon.
Kaiseki is the multi-course tradition of Japanese haute cuisine, where seasonal ingredients and careful presentation take centre stage. Pairing it with sushi inside one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks is an ambitious move, and it fits the ongoing boom in high-end Japanese dining across Toronto, from omakase counters to yakitori bars.
Details such as the opening date, pricing and menu were still limited in the original report, so keep an eye on the outlet and on the restaurant’s own channels for updates. What is already clear is the setting: a dinner in a castle is the kind of experience that turns a regular night out into an occasion, whether you are celebrating an anniversary or impressing out-of-town guests.
Casa Loma has long been known for events, tours and holiday displays. Adding a serious destination restaurant gives locals another reason to visit outside tourist season.
Save this one for your next special occasion and follow us for the opening date. Would you dress up for dinner in a castle? Tell us below.
