Amal Toronto
In the heart of fashionable Yorkville, nestled in between designer boutiques and world-renown jewellers, Amal shines bright as the “Life of the Party” introducing mystical flavours and style to the upscale Toronto neighbourhood. Opened summer 2020 following over 25 years of creative partnerships, the joyful restaurant is the latest entertainment haven by hospitality maverick Charles Khabouth of INK Entertainment and award-winning designer Alessandro Munge bringing together families and friends in the (re)discovery of Lebanese culture.
Amal with its myriad of modernized hand-crafted details is a feast for the eye – an all-white space harmonized with colourful bursts of pastel blues, mint greens and burned oranges reminiscent of the Mediterranean eastern shores. Featuring delectable dishes by executive chef Rony Ghaleb, Amal celebrates the finest of ingredients and design artistry in a hypnotic dance of textures and flavours. From the hand-painted ceiling tapestry and murals to the beautifully detailed furnishings, everything in the Studio Munge designed venue inspires escapism - inviting the guest to explore the infinite possibilities of the starry night ahead. Beautifully exhibiting authentic yet modernized traditional cuisine and design details, Amal is an uplifting celebration of Life and an incredibly vibrant expression of Lebanese culture.
