Interior of a modern restaurant with exposed brick walls, wooden floors, stylish lighting, and distinctive furniture, including a red curved bench, a round table with chairs, a colorful bench, and a red counter with digital registers.

Located in Toronto’s Beaches on Queen Street East, Nando’s Beaches is a vibrant celebration of colour and craft.

The space is defined by leather tufted banquettes running along the exposed brick walls and curved bench seating pods that occupy the central part of the restaurant. Beaded light fixtures and custom rope art installations was inspired by artisanal traditional weaving techniques. The design is layered with rich terracotta, copper, and crimson palette that enlivens the space.

Nandos Beaches infuses the charm of a small beach town with the vibrant personality of South Africa, giving locals and adventurists an authentic dining experience.

Stoa was awarded the 2018 ARIDO Award of Merit for its design of this restaurant
