Lee

Lee is the flagship restaurant of internationally acclaimed chef Susur Lee, a pioneer known for blending classical French techniques with the vibrant, complex flavors of Southeast Asian cuisine. Following a move to the historic Waterworks building, the restaurant occupies a spacious, reimagined environment designed with mid-century modern flair. The interior features warm wood tones, sculptural lighting, and eclectic 1970s-inspired details, creating a stylish and energetic atmosphere that serves as a backdrop for the chef’s creative, sharing-style menu.

For a first visit, the signature 24-ingredient Singapore Style Slaw is an essential order, celebrated for its intricate balance of textures and house-made salted plum dressing. The menu also features popular staples like the cheeseburger spring rolls and various satay dishes, all designed for communal dining. Reservations are highly recommended due to consistent demand, and the restaurant offers a mix of à la carte options and curated set menus. Whether seated in the main dining room or at the vibrant bar, guests can expect a polished, high-energy experience that reflects the restaurant's long-standing status in Toronto’s culinary scene.
