Noble 33, a team of innovators and hospitality entrepreneurs, co-founded by Tosh Berman and Mikey Tanha, announce the opening of its newest dining experience, Casa Madera. The first location will launch in Canada on April 5, 2022, adjacent to 1 Hotel Toronto, the city's sustainable sanctuary. Both the hotel and restaurant were developed in partnership with Mohari Hospitality, a real estate investment company founded by the entrepreneurial investor Mark Scheinberg. Casa Madera will highlight creative twists on traditional Mexican cuisine, inspired by life's essential elements: earth, air, fire and water.

"The vision for Casa Madera is to combine our culinary creativity with our passion for Mexican cuisine," said Tosh Berman, Chairman and Co-Founder of Noble 33. "The Mayan Riviera has established itself as a highly influential food region, and at Casa Madera, we will transport guests there through a fully immersive dining experience, delighting guests with something unique each night."

Guided by French technique and Japanese precision, authenticity and inclusivity will anchor Casa Madera's impressive menu drawn from the culinary traditions of Mexican coastal cuisine. The menu will accommodate a variety of dietary preferences including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and keto, a pillar of the restaurant's ethos striving to ensure every patron is considered. Casa Madera places great importance on local purveyors and sustainably grown products with fresh and organic ingredients at the forefront. A variety of fresh produce and herbs used for house-made specialties will be harvested onsite. 

Some dishes will be finished tableside, bringing an element of visual excitement and theatrics to the dining room. Statement dishes include the Tomahawk featuring a 44oz Wagyu cut, Campari tomatoes, potato confit, smoked butter and shaved black truffle, and fire-roasted Pacifico Striped Bass with a fennel citrus salad, fresh corn tortillas, sunburst salsa, avocado tomatillo salsa and cherry chipotle salsa.

Adding yet another important layer to the overall guest journey is the restaurant's pioneering diverse beverage program led by Beverage Curator, Carla Lorenzo. Once again drawing on the earth's elements to inspire flavors, colors and ingredients, an impressive selection of premium tequilas, spirits and wines are used to carefully create a vibrant lineup of beverages. The farm-to-glass libations will use fresh, seasonal ingredients, and offer non-alcoholic and low-proof options, making this the most sophisticated beverage program to date.

The launch of Casa Madera exemplifies Noble 33's dedication to culinary innovation and its commitment to its international expansion plan, adding to an already robust portfolio of high-energy, fine-dining restaurants that include Toca Madera in West Hollywood and Scottsdale, and Sparrow Italia Los Angeles. Future 2022 openings include Casa Madera West Hollywood, Toca Madera Las Vegas, and Sparrow Italia in London. In 2023, Noble 33 will continue its expansion with outposts in New YorkHouston and Miami.
