A truly world class experience, BlueBlood Steakhouse was recently named the #1 Steakhouse in Toronto, by USA Today's 10 Best. The one of a kind space offers a modern and edgy feel with a juxtaposition of classic heritage architecture, unique heirloom antiques and modern art pieces by Warhol, Mr. Brainwash and Salvador Dali. Offering a modern twist on the classic steakhouse, the menu highlights various cuts of the finest beef from around the world, as well as fresh seafood and an extensive international wine and spirit list. BlueBlood Steakhouse is the most recent concept from the Liberty Entertainment Group.

Overall a very good experience there. Food was great. Saki recommendations were great - although the warm Saki was extremely hot. It was also a bit noisy.

About the restaurant

We are saddened and disappointed to announce that we will be closing our doors for the final time on the evening of February 11th, 2023.

To our valued patrons who have supported us, it has been a real privilege. There is an endless list of friends, family, associates, corporate clients and industry colleagues that have lent their support through patronage, enthusiasm, encouragement and advice. That continues to this day, and we look forward to serving all of you at our other properties now and well into the future.

We hope to see some familiar and friendly faces between now and Saturday evening where you’ll be sure to enjoy the warm and welcoming hospitality you’ve come to know from us over the years. We look forward to seeing you at Ascari Enoteca, Gare de l’Est Brasserie, Mercatino e Vini or through a celebration with Events + Catering one of these days soon.

Visit our Instagram, @ascari.kingstreet, to read a message from Erik, John and Rahil.
