Revamped and Reimagined: SOCO Kitchen + Bar at Delta Hotels Toronto is Back
TORONTO, April 3, 2025 /CNW/ - Delta Hotels Toronto is excited to announce the grand reopening of SOCO, its signature restaurant. Featuring a refreshed design, a menu inspired by Canada's diverse flavors, unique bar menu and a new street-level cafe entrance, SOCO offers an elevated dining experience in Toronto's South Core. Just steps from Scotiabank Arena, Rogers Centre, the CN Tower, and Ripley's Aquarium, it's the city's newest go-to spot for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner.
A Culinary Experience Redefined
"SOCO has always been known for great food, but now, with this renovation, the entire dining experience—from presentation to ambiance—matches the quality of our cuisine," says Chef Vidish, Executive Chef of Delta Hotels Toronto. "We are excited to showcase a menu that highlights the best of Canadian ingredients, from PEI mussels to Ontario beef, while also bringing global flavors that reflect Toronto's international essence."
A New Culinary Experience
SOCO's new menu showcases Canada's diverse culinary landscape with all-day dining options, from elevated classics to bold new flavors. Highlights include:
- Steak Tartare – Martins Farm sirloin, pickled shimeji, shallots, quail egg yolk, potato chips, and crostini.
- Pulled Chicken Caesar – Rotisserie-roasted Voltigeurs Farm chicken, local greens, grated egg, house Caesar dressing, crispy Canadian prosciutto, and parmesan.
- Soco Burger – House-made milk bun, a 70:30 chuck and brisket patty, double-smoked bacon, beet & onion jam. Plus, $1 from every burger supports Children's Miracle Network.
- Soco Fries – Hand-cut PEI potatoes, brined overnight, blanched, then wok-fried with herb oil, garlic, roasted bell pepper, and fresh herbs. Finished with a drizzle of lemon aioli.
- Voltigeurs Farm Organic Chicken – Rotisserie-roasted and served with warm PEI fingerling potato salad, chimichurri, pickled shallots, and feta.
- 50 oz. Tomahawk – Martins Farm beef, sizzling on a stone, served with Soco Fries and house kale salad.
- The Six – A dark chocolate mousse dome, artfully designed to feature the Toronto skyline, celebrating the city in every bite.
Committed to sustainability, SOCO sources cage-free eggs, Ontario-raised beef, and Canadian coastal seafood, reducing its carbon footprint while supporting local farmers and suppliers. The hotel is also one of the very few hotels in the downtown core that has its own pastry department.
SOCO Cafe: A Fresh Culinary Experience in the Heart of the South Core
The new SOCO Cafe offers house-made brioche sandwiches, premium pastries, and high-quality coffee, setting itself apart from traditional coffee chains. With a dedicated seating area and a convenient grab-and-go option, SOCO Cafe is perfect for a quick lunch or breakfast on the move. Guests can also settle in with their laptop and enjoy a freshly made pastry in a welcoming atmosphere. Open daily from 6:30 AM to 10:30 PM, the cafe features a brand-new street-level entrance in the South Core's busiest area, ensuring easy access in a prime location.
A Design That Mirrors the Pulse of the City
Led by Navigate Design, SOCO's renovation blends sophistication with warmth. "Our vision was to craft a modern yet welcoming environment that reflects Toronto's energy while maintaining a connection to the waterfront," says Sarah Choi from Navigate Design.
Guests will find intentional design elements, such as custom-built banquettes, a refined bar with leather panels, and bespoke metal shelving paying homage to Toronto's industrial roots. The layout enhances guest flow and comfort, making SOCO the perfect spot for everything from pre-game dining to business meetings or a relaxed brunch.
