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 cheeseburger 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 a bistro-meets-diner-meets-internationally-inspired menu which is also representative of the diverse culture in Toronto. Our service team is upbeat and genuine but also deeply knowledgeable about the menu and offerings. 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. We hope you love our little diner as much as we and our team do. Patrick Kriss & Zane Pearl

    Living in a city with an excess of excellent dining options and food in general, it is a very rare occasion that my partner and I visit the same place twice, let alone over and over, like we do with Aloette. Without fail the service is always perfect in a natural, comfortable and non-formalistic or overbearing way. Such service is not teachable - they have done an excellent job selecting their people. With respect to the food, it is always excellent, and if not excellent, very good. Having dined at Aloette since ~2020, there have been some more experimental dishes that we perhaps would not order again. That said, the permanent menu items, which seem to include the Aloette Burger, a crudo option, a tartare option, wedge salad, a protein option (i.e., steak), are always 10/10. The culmination of the ambience, service, and reliably excellent food has always facilitated the making of happy memories with loved ones. That's a rare thing.

    Had such a good time here! Came with my cousin and sat at the bar in the yurt. The inside was cozy and smelled so good. Cocktails were awesome, hope to go again before it closes.

    We came to Lee Restaurant for our anniversary dinner and had phenomenal experience, from the service to the meals prepared, it was the perfect date night. We selected all three “signature” dishes, the flavours of all were so unmatched from anything we have ever tasted before, nothing was missing, everything amazing. Each of the dishes are shareable which additionally makes it perfect for couples. We highly recommend to anyone, enjoy!
