“The menu is French classic with inspiration from modern Canadiana. It’s completely ingredient based, which means it’s changing constantly based on what’s fresh and in season. The wine list here was curated with impeccable taste, featuring over 400 labels of globally renowned and more exclusive wines, perfect for pairing with FK’s ranging dishes.”
'“Rock star (yet incredibly humble) Chef/c0-owner Frank Parhizgar runs the culinary program and Shawn Cooper/co-owner runs the business and front of the house.” “You’ll fall in love with both of these uber-talented restaurateurs.”
“This is a place you need to know”

“FK OPENS IN UBER-POPULAR NABE”
"When he and wife Shawn Cooper presided over Frank's Kitchen on College Street (2010-2017), they had a loyal clientele of serious foodies. And now Frank is back, bells, whistles and brass band in full form. There really is no other chef in Toronto whose cooking is as detailed and complex as Frank's."
Dinemagazine.ca - 2022
"FK Restaurant is a quintessentially Toronto restaurant, run by a husband-and-wife team, beloved by it’s neighbourhood and beyond. Chef Frank’s menus are sophisticated, conscientious, gorgeous and impeccable. Wine pairings are thoughtful and expert. Service is honest and genuine. Here is proof that the heart of the city can be found in the soul of a really good restaurant.”

"Frank Parhizgar and Shawn Cooper prove that old-fashioned niceties still count at their charmingly unpretentious new St. Clair west restaurant; ... chef Parhizgar turns each plate into a celebration."
Let’s Eat - Zane Caplansky
"These two may just run the perfect restaurant FK"

“PARTNERS IN LOVE, LIFE, AND FOOD”
"Midtown’s foodscape is about to get a hot new entry with FK Wine Bar. The pair behind Frank’s Kitchen — chef Frank Parhizgar, with his famed ponytail, and manager-of-all Shawn Cooper — have hoofed it uptown after shuttering their Little Italy space ... With the duo’s “everything from scratch” MO still in place, the strip’s truly on the up and up."
