Aloette Restaurant

The food is very unique and flavorful. It is definitely a perfect date night restaurant. The Aloette burger is a must 8/10. The fried chicken has that sweet and savory flavor from yuzu. It’s a hit or miss depending on your taste bud. I have heard a lot about their lemon meringue pie. I love it but my bf isn't a big fan. I like the sour taste and the lemon flavour so 8/10 for me.

Had brunch here on a Sunday afternoon around 1pm. It was pretty easy getting a table for four. The interior is intimate, but feels appropriately sized. The finishes and decor looked elegant but comfortable. With the music, it was a nice weekend vibe. I had the chicken and waffle. The waffle texture is alright. Personally, I like my waffle to have a nice crust to it but somewhat fluffy in the middle. This was more on the crunchy brittle side so it kinda crumbles when you bite into it. The chicken was flavourful and don’t remember it being dry. The syrup was great, but it would’ve been nice if the container they had them in was filled with more. It wasn’t enough to get a good amount of syrup throughout the dish. It was savoury and not too sweet. I’d come back to try their other dishes. I had a good experience overall.

After being on our list for a long time, we finally came to Aloette for brunch, as a party of four with a reservation. Overall, we had a good experience but we left with mixed feelings… The food was very tasty but, the menu was presented as “shareable” yet several items were actually too small to be shared and there weren’t many “regular” portions. In addition to that, most items didn’t include sides, besides bread toasts. So, if you wanted a substantial meal, you had to order more. Nothing wrong with that but, it was already a little pricey. The staff was very friendly and diligent, even though the service had a couple of hiccups. The atmosphere inside was cozy and warm so we still enjoyed our time in the restaurant.

Lives up to the reputation 100%! Haters can hate all they want, but we choose to LOVE this place! FOOD: We came here for a late night dinner and really enjoyed the food! Staring of course with the steak that was done medium rare to perfection—soft, juicy, flavourful! My parter had a burger and said this was the best burger ever and we need to return. Though done with the meal, we decided to eat the carrot cake and my goodness, this was a true carrot cake—not processed, but fully delicious! SERVICE The service was exceptional once they came, however it did take a moment. I think they may have been understaffed that day. ATMO The atmosphere is not bad, but the music was a bit loud. The food definitely made this place special!

Exceptional customer service, nice and cozy atmosphere, and dam their fries and burger are goooddd. The pie is sweet and should be shared amongst a few people. There are not too many seats so would recommend making a reservation.

With its one-Michelin star sister restaurant Alo on the second floor, Aloette has a lot to live up to - and it does, staying grounded (pun intended) with a menu that features upscaled bistro classics. When I first walked in, I was surprised by the small size of the restaurant. While the bar-and-booth layout looks cramped at first, it's relatively spacious when you are seated. We started off with the beef tartare & grilled sourdough. The tartare was savoury and tangy and the beef wonderfully tender. It also came with the complimentary to-start potato cheddar bun, which was amazing - but fair warning that a second is $6. 😬 For mains, we got the wagyu truffle burger and Aloette fried chicken. Taste-wise, the burger was good. The patty was juicy, cooked to a beautiful medium rare, and stood up to the flavourful truffle gruyere. However, I wouldn't know it was wagyu if it wasn't in the name. It was also awkward to eat as the bottom was very soft from the burger sitting in the truffle jus. Even using a fork and knife (which I think is what it's meant to be eaten with), it was quite difficult to cut into bites without the whole burger collapsing. Bonus points for the pickle on the side - my friend said it was the best pickle he's ever eaten. The Aloette fried chicken is a must-order - incredibly crispy and juicy, with an great balance of flavour from the seasoning and yuzu honey, with or without the hot sauce. Additionally, you can wrap it in the lettuce, pickled radish, and cucumber they provide on the side. We also ordered a side of the potato tots. Made with a latke-like center, these were seasoned well with a super crispy exterior and fluffy interior. Don't forget to dip them in the provided Aloette (bloody mary and aged cheddar) aioli, which was packed with flavour - it was so good, I would buy a bottle if they sold it! All in all, Aloette is the perfect choice for a nice night out with friends. Note: If you want to take good photos, don't go at sunset like we did - the dim lighting and sunlight through the windows make for some difficult shots 😅

Loved it! It’s on the Michelin recommendation list for a reason! It’s a small place but run very efficiently. We were seated at the bar and our host was attentive and warm. We ordered the iceberg wedge salad, tempura asparagus and Alotte fried chicken. But we changed the fried chicken to Shrimp and grits after 5 minutes and they were able to accommodate it. They also have a potato bread with a house mousse as a compliment side. Loved the flavor profile on all the dishes. I think their iceberg wedges salad is famous and for a reason! I would totally recommend this place but go with a reservation. We went there without one but they were able to accommodate us luckily at the bar. Also I guess the menu changes from time to time and my friend had tiger shrimps last July which was not on the menu today.

Excellent staff! Our server was amazing! I believe her name was Kabriel? The name was on the bill. One of the most attentive servers I have ever had. All the employees work hard to ensure the guests are taken care of. The food was delicious and the presentation was excellent.
