The
Globe & Mail
hosts an interview with Toronto entrepreneur Toufik Sarwa, the "brains"
behind the Yorkville lounge Amber and owner of the new Cinq 01
restaurant on College.
"Toufik Sarwa remembers spending Sundays in Damascus, Syria, doing
gymnastics. Flash forward a few decades and he has a pommel horse in
the dining room of his restaurant Cinq 01, which opened in October. But
as much as the eclectic aesthetic, courtesy of Commute Home, gets a
thumbs-up from well-heeled patrons, it's Mr. Sarwa who's the main
attraction."
"Cinq 01, so named for its address on College Street, is a bona-fide
place to sup, whether on braised bison short ribs or foie gras hot dog.
Of course, some people go just for a drink � the wine list was created
by master sommelier Jamie Drummond � while others pop in simply to say
hi to Mr. Sarwa, because rare is the night he's not there".
