Casa Madera

What is Casa Madera? Occupying the ground floor of 1 Hotel Toronto at 550 Wellington Street West, Casa Madera delivers high-octane coastal Mexican-Mediterranean dining backed by hospitality group Noble 33. The Rockwell Group-designed room channels upscale Tulum with cascading live greenery, reclaimed timber accents, low mood lighting, and roaming live instrumentalists. Guests can settle into plush dining booths, congregate around the vibrant central cocktail bar, or book seasonal seating on the outdoor patio.

Casa Madera Menu & What to Order Executive chef-driven recipes fuse French culinary technique with bold Mexican and Mediterranean seafood profiles. Standout orders include the charred chile pulpo with buttery corn purée, tender confit duck carnitas tacos, and theatrical tableside salt-crusted branzino. Dietary variety is strong across gluten-free and vegan items like wood-grilled maitake mushrooms and rich truffle risotto, best paired with smoke-infused, elemental tequila cocktails.

Know Before You Go Dinner services lean energetic and high-volume, making advance reservations via SevenRooms or Resy strongly recommended for prime evening slots. Golden Hour runs Wednesday through Friday from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. with discounted drinks and small plates before the music ramps up. Hotel valet parking is available on Wellington Street West, or ride the 504 King streetcar to Portland Street and walk two blocks south.
