Raa Uptown Japanese
Toronto
4848 Yonge St. Toronto, Ontario
http://raajapanese.com/

Today’s Groupon to Raa Uptown Japanese. Choose between the following options:

For $10, you get $20 worth of Japanese lunch fare.
For $17, you get $35 worth of Japanese dinner fare.
Raa Uptown Japanese crafts a menu of authentic Japanese tapas, sushi, seafood dishes, and hot pots in its elegant, art-lined space. Gindara saikyo yaki—marinated black cod with sweet miso seasoning ($9.50)—makes a flavourful start to a tapas tasting or a fitting end to an evening of underwater ballet. A host of sushi rolls populate the menu, including the palate-pleasing spicy tuna roll ($6.50) and the more adventurous lobster roll ($8.50), in which the crustacean’s flavor is complimented by a supporting cast of asparagus, avocado, and cukes. Pizza gets a leggy makeover with octopus dumplings ($7.50), and grilled squid ($8.50) dresses to the nines in a spicy teriyaki leisure suit. As an order of yakiniku—juicy, charbroiled slices of steak ($9.50)—quells carnivorous cravings, the Dengaku Special ($7.50) sates herbivorous appetites with a mélange of tofu, eggplant, and yam cakes. Meanwhile, hot pots of egg custard, chestnuts, and yuzu citrus ($7) can warm diners chilled by earlier encounters with cold winds or bear-hug-dispensing snowmen.

Raa’s commitment to full bellies extends to its decor, which includes a bronze Buddha statuette and artwork depicting sumo wrestlers. Framed by a wooden ceiling, arrangements of reeds, and flickering candles, the bar exudes the beauty of nature and the comfort of a fire-warmed cabin far from day-to-day worries and door-to-door doorbell salesmen.

Trevor Kitchen and Bar forges a dinner menu of sophisticated comfort food made with fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Foie-gras fanatics will rejoice at the lineup of fattened livers on tap at Trevor, including seared foie gras with blueberry pancakes, maple syrup, and vanilla jus ($19), macaroni and asiago cheese with seared foie gras ($21), and a truffled goat-cheese poutine with seared foie gras ($23). Guests can add seared foie gras to any entree as well ($15). Main dishes include a lobster-and-prawn spaghettini in cognac and chive sauce ($25) and slow-roasted pork belly ($27), served with barbecue octopus and a rhyming dictionary to help diners compose a paean to the chef. A lounge menu satiates diminutive appetites with small plates such as a trio of mini Kobe-style burgers ($21), which diners can nibble while imbibing selections from Trevor’s roster of wine, cocktails, and beer. This Groupon may not be used toward Trevor Kitchen’s other promotions, such as free corkage, after-work specials, Summerlicious, or Winterlicious.

In addition to rocking the taste buds of Toronto foodies, Trevor doubles as a gallery space for up-and-coming artists. Patrons can pass judgment on paintings, photographs, and balloon-animal creations while they await entrees or simply revel in the romantic ambience of the restaurant’s dining rooms.

Today’s Groupon: for $27, you get a 45-minute foot massage at Red Door (a $55 value). Services are available Thursday–Saturday from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Red Door performs its 45-minute personalized massage treatments in one of three newly renovated massage rooms with a focus on postwork clientele. After a hot foot soak in heated water and oils, therapists strum out-of-tune lower leg muscles and knead beleaguered feet. During the service, bipedal patients can listen to the music of their choice, massage eyes with a 47-inch TV, or simply bask in the reassembling of their lower appendages.

Guests find further refreshment in a complimentary late-night snack, consisting of tea and treats, while swimming in aqua-blue accents and white furniture lit from art-deco chandeliers. Red Door aims to serve as a leisurely retreat, allowing guests to bring in their own fare, drinks, entertainment, and bocce-ball-themed party favours.
