The 38 Best Restaurants in Toronto, Canada

"Open for: Lunch and dinnerPrice range: $$$Chef-owner Patrick Kriss of Alo Food Group has amassed an empire of restaurants across the city, starting with his flagship fine-dining enterprise Alo in 2015. While it’s still notoriously challenging to land a reservation there, sister spot Aloette is more accessible and friendlier on the pocketbook. Kriss’s oxymoronic “upscale diner” features burgers, fries, and other usual suspects, but everything is finessed and fancified. The fried chicken is laced with yuzu honey; parfaits are engorged with foie gras; and golden spuds are zhuzhed up with bloody mary aioli.Know before you go: There are now two locations. The original (on Spadina) offers lunch on Fridays only, and brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.The newer spot on Bay Street is open for lunch Monday through Friday, but does not do weekend brunch service." - Tiffany Leigh

Aloette

"Open since 2017, this stylish bistro remains one of the coolest reservations in town. Chef Patrick Kriss and his well-oiled restaurant group again demonstrate that they have the Midas touch. With the tasting menu-only ALO just upstairs, the team here is impressively polished in this diner setting. No wider than a train car, the cozy space offers satisfying, approachable dishes that look and taste far better than imagined. Iceberg wedges dressed in chive cream arrive under a mountain of puffed wild rice. A complimentary loaf of cheddar brioche wouldn’t be out of place on white tablecloth. Everyone wants the burger. And for dessert, there must be pie. The signature lemon meringue is a towering finale that will have you rolling out the door." - Michelin Inspector

The 38 Essential Toronto Restaurants

"Chef-owner Patrick Kriss of Alo Food Group has amassed an empire of restaurants across the city, starting with his flagship Alo in 2015 and moving on to sister diner Aloette, Alobar Yorkville, delivery operation Aloette Go, and Alobar Downtown. While it’s virtually impossible to land a reservation at Alo these days, Aloette is more accessible, and friendlier on the pocketbook, too. Kriss’s oxymoronic “upscale diner” features the usual suspects, such as chicken wings, fries, and burgers, but everything is finessed and fancified. Confit chicken wings are dotted with XO dashi jus; beet salad is invigorated with fresh burrata; and golden spuds are saddled up with bloody mary aioli." - Tiffany Leigh

We have been here multiple times but this was our first time sitting on the patio. It was a nice change of environment - more quiet and brighter. Of course there were people walking by but they were not bothersome. There were also some newer items on the menu, one of these being the sea bream. We were very impressed! The corn sauce was great and the sea bream was cooked well. We have tried most of their menu before and this is now our new favourite dish. The classics including the wedge salad (must order) and burger were consistently delicious.

After hearing so many rave reviews about it, I wanted to try the burger. I visited on a random weekend night. The wedge salad was delicious, and I loved the textures and flavours. The fried chicken was okay; it was well-seasoned but not very juicy. The lamb skewer was mediocre and not particularly memorable. Now the burger was good, but I was disappointed. I wouldn’t rank it among the best burgers I’ve ever had in the city, definitely not in the top 5 in Toronto. The lemon meringue pie was also unremarkable. On the positive side, the service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was interesting, featuring an upscale retro diner vibe.

Generally liked some of the dishes here. We started with the octopus carpaccio which had chili oil that tasted exactly like lao gan ma. That chili oil is relatively affordable, so didn’t feel like the flavor belonged at this restaurant. Then a few other meat dishes like the crudo and beef tartare. Tartare may be my favorite for the evening. Well seasoned with the right amount of acidity. Crudo was okay? Also found it weird that it was 3 pieces for over 20$, small portion and made it weird for sharing. Then we had the lobster, which was a bit overcooked. Lobster came with clams and mussels which were very flavorful. Baguette was too dry. The lamb skewer was another favorite, it was the most tender lamb I’ve had, though some parts were too salty. We finished with the popular lemon meringue pie. I love lemon flavored things so this was a sweet ending to the dinner! The meringue was too sweet for me, overpowering the lemon, but if you have a sweet tooth you will really enjoy this one.

Very elegantly appointed restaurant. Reservations are encouraged. Service was attentive, but slow. Expect to spend at minimum 1 hour. I ordered a medium well burger and received well done. You may want to order down a notch from your usual.

Aloette was my first upscale solo dinner. I had the best time there. Everything, from the movie-like open kitchen with a vigorous female chef running the place with discipline, through a very friendly staff, to unforgettable seasonal and fresh food options - was simply fantastic! The only flaw I found uncomfortable was some guests’ wardrobe choices. I don’t think it’s appropriate to visit a restaurant downtown wearing Crocs and shorts. The manager should pay more attention to that matter, but maybe it’s the restaurant’s policy to keep it casual :)

The food was delicious,beautifully presented. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service.When our server came by to check on us, my friend casually mentioned that I usually prefer sweeter drinks. Without even being asked, she offered to change my drink and brought me one. That level of attentiveness and care really made the whole dining experience feel special. Highly recommend this place — both for the amazing food and the genuinely thoughtful staff!

We initially went for the weekend brunch and wow! One of best brunches I’ve eaten in Toronto so far. The shakshuka was amazing, literally the best I’ve ever eaten in all my life. We liked we so much we went again for the weekday lunch, tried the fried chicken again loved it. They have happy hour on Friday from 3-6, all drinks are half off which is great because we tried all the cocktails in the menu and liked them all. Last but not the least the complimentary bread and butter that they give is heavenly, I literally had to request our waiter to please get us some more. Would highly recommend this place to everyone.

Great service and nice ambiance. The food was alright - although the quality is there, it lacks flavour and originality. For being rated one of Toronto’s best restaurants I feel they can do better.
