The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto’s EPOCH Bar & Kitchen Terrace offers a secret garden oasis at the nexus of the dynamic financial and entertainment districts. DesignAgency drew on the romance of travel and the area’s glamorous role as host of the annual Toronto International Film Festival to create the restaurant’s scenic interiors and lush outdoor terrace, including an open-air kitchen and bar that faces Simcoe Park. The restaurant builds on the firm’s enhancement of The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto, which includes reimagined guest rooms and Club-level suites, as well as fresh looks for the Club Lounge and Spa My Blend by Clarins.
Inside, a palette of saturated tones, organic materials and textured surfaces pays homage to the location’s natural topography. A wrap-around bar takes center stage, offering an arresting focal point.
The Ritz-Carlton is the gold standard for luxury and service around the world, and Epoch brings those values to an engaging social space that’s intimate, elegant and relaxed.
