CKB
About
CKB is the first venture of Toronto based chef David Brace. It's namesake and the smells of her kitchen underpin his regularly rotating menu. Combined with his near twenty years of experience at the helm of Italian kitchens, the result is a modern culinary selection that is rich with complex flavours yet still familiar.
Our vision is a refined dining experience without pretension, where friends, family and the beau monde all feel at home.
