• Bistro • Entertainment District

Booked 29 times today

Opened in 2017. Michelin-recommended since 2022.We first imagined Aloette to be the perfect diner that we’d want to dine in – a menu with a great burger paired with a fantastic and fun wine list, a long row of bar stools facing the bar and the kitchen, and an energetic atmosphere accented with an old school hip hop playlist. The buzz of the dining room mirrors the energy of the street on Spadina Avenue; the dining room itself mimics a train’s dining car. It’s kind of a bistro, kind of a diner, internationally inspired menu which is also representative of the diverse culture in Toronto.Brunch at Aloette was something we said we’d never do. But the city kept asking and we’re glad to be a new staple in the Queen West neighbourhood for mimosas, chicken and waffles, and piping hot coffees.

Amazing food and service! This restaurant has Michelin starts and I can understand why. The octopus carpaccio was 11/10. And the scallops were amazing. Drinks also perfect! I will definitely come back.

Overall the experience was amazing, the vibe and the food, but apparently no baseball hats are allowed inside the premises like they didn’t even let my boyfriend click a picture at the door with his cap on, which was a weird thing. I get it at night clubs caps are not allowed but there was no party scheduled yesterday, and still they had this stupid compulsion.
