Critically acclaimed to be among Canada’s best restaurants, Canoe's unique location high atop the TD Bank Tower affords a breathtaking view of the city and Lake Ontario. The design, originally conceptualized by noted designers Yabu Pushelberg and most recently refreshed by Solid Design Creative, is clean and simple, yet absolutely stylish - a brilliant reflection of Canada's rich raw environment. That same brilliance is captured through the flavours and textures of Chef Ron McKinlay’s inspired regional Canadian cuisine.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Ron McKinlay

MICHELIN Plate
2022

From the OpenTable editors: Jaw-dropping city views from wrap-around, floor-to-ceiling windows are what first draw diners to Canoe, but exceptional dishes that celebrate Canada’s homegrown cuisine have kept them coming back for nearly 30 years. Stylish, Canadiana-inspired decor and a stellar tasting menu make this one of Toronto’s ultimate special-occasion spots.

We did the tasting menu at the chefs counter plus a few drinks. Service is friendly and well informed. Prompt and tight. The kitchen is methodical and very well oiled. While the 54th floor views are supposedly exceptional the front row to service is amazing if you are an industry individual. Food is top notch and well executed, the 9 course taste canoe menu features laborious and creative techniques showcasing Ron McKinlay’s love of Canadian products and cuisine The stuffed chicken wing course and veal compositions were exceptional. CDC Roderick Tomiczek hot courses were beautiful plated and full of flavour and texture. The pine one sorbet with apple and honey from pastry chef Raffaele Stea was refined and refreshing after the gauntlet of savoury courses. And as a fan of carrot cake the main sweet courses were beautiful was hardly recognizable as a traditional carrot cake but more of a “mess this up” of textures, crazy techniques, and left field flavours Black garlic!?! Who does that! But it works and tastes amazing Canoe rocks Staff rocks View rocks Food rocks Service rocks. Go. Definitely a special occasion place to go. Resos recommended.

It was the first time dining there and I don’t regret it. I liked the atmosphere, the service was amazing and the food it was excellent. And coming from me I would say that they really should be proud of what they serve there (I’m very picky and particular about food) I would definitely go back with pleasure. The one thing I was disappointed was not being able to see the view 😔

Amazing food and location! Highly recommend for a special occasion or just a nice evening out. Very expensive but worth the price if you like fine dining at a premium location.

I mentioned that we are having dinner for our 26th wedding anniversary. The restaurant seated us by the window with the CN tower as the backdrop. The view was awesome. They had a placard on the table announcing our wedding anniversary. It was quite a nice surprise. Steven our waiter was fabulous. He saw to our needs, basically spoiling us. The rest of the staff was great too. Food was exceptional❤️ It was a great experience. Will definitely be back.

Everything was excellent, but I found the food to be very bland and not of exceptional flavours. Caesar salad was just ok and veal schnitzel was pretty tasteless. I was expecting much better.

Always love Canoe. Our server was excellent. My only feedback for ‘even better if’ is you should have more / better options for a vegetarian. Vegan is too far but vegetarians and/or flexitarians would like to eat at Canoe and the menu should provide that option.
