The Chase is located on what was formerly the roof of the Dineen building featuring a 75-seat terrace with sweeping views of the Financial District as well as an upscale dining area marked by an open kitchen and indoor-outdoor bar, a truly stunning addition to the heritage structure.

INVITING DESIGN

A departure from a traditional restaurant, The Chase was designed with each dining area to feel like various rooms of a high-end home. The colour palette is light, creating a feeling of comfort and luxury with a backdrop of Toronto’s financial district.
