Savor

What is Savor? Occupying a dramatic 4,000-square-foot room at 1226 St Clair Avenue West in Corso Italia, Savor delivers upscale Thai gastronomy from veteran restaurateur Phanom Suksaen and Iron Chef Thailand alumnus Prasopchok Trakulphat (Chef Art). Guests are greeted by a striking nine-tiered golden Chatra umbrella and temple-inspired host stand before stepping into a moodily lit space outfitted with brass accents, plush booths, and a central cocktail bar. The setting brings a level of grand, design-forward dining to a stretch of St. Clair West historically anchored by casual neighborhood trattorias.

Savor Menu & What to Order The kitchen runs both a refined à la carte lineup and an inventive multi-course tasting menu exploring modern Thai technique. Standout orders include the Massamun Neua, built with meltingly tender beef cheek and rich root vegetables, alongside the Gai Tod Takrai (lemongrass chicken mousseline) and dark soy stir-fried Pad See Iew Neua. Plant-based and gluten-conscious diners are well accommodated with seasonal vegan curries and coconut sorbets, while cocktails like the Khun Lung—a smoky, Tom Kha-infused riff finished with lemongrass vapor—are essential pairings.

Know Before You Go Reservations via Tock are highly recommended on weekends, though walk-ins can often snag seats at the bar on weeknights. Street parking along St. Clair Avenue West is metered, but hopping on the 512 St. Clair streetcar directly near Dufferin Street is the smoothest route. Savor is closed on Tuesdays and opens for dinner service Wednesday through Monday.
