Located in Toronto’s King Street West Entertainment District, Abrielle brings a sense of romance and effortless allure to the dining scene. Developed in collaboration with The Ascari Group and Northland Properties, Abrielle features interiors and branding developed by DesignAgency. The project is inspired by a muse: Abrielle, a spirited Mediterranean woman defined by her warmth and joie de vivre.

The restaurant comprises three adjoining spaces that serve a range of occasions: a lounge for casual dining, a glamorous bar with a coveted corner window view, and an intimate dining area that allows glimpses into the bustling open kitchen. Within each area, a bold palette of richly varied patterns and textures plays out across luxurious fabrics and natural materials such as stone, leather, porcelain, and wood. Every surface is thoughtfully embellished, turning ceilings, walls, and floors into decorative moments that surprise and delight. Against this backdrop, an eclectic collection of art introduces wit and whimsy, and sculptural lighting upends conventions of scale. 

This vibrant, transportive destination captures the spirit of the Mediterranean coast in the heart of the city.

Abrielle is quiet, romantically lit and spacious. The dining room, designed by Toronto firm DesignAgency, features beautiful marble tables, cushy seating and big windows that’ll transport diners to the Italian coast.
