Best Restaurants for Foodies in Harbord Village

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.

The service was above and beyond friendly, knowledgeable and warm. The food was so flavorful and unique. We loved every bite and the entire experience- we will be back soon!

Been here probably 10 times and every time is always amazing. Food is great, service is great, ambiance is always nice. Cocktails are very good. A must to get the gelato every single time, it changes often.

We did the pre theatre dining experience and everything was amazing from start to finish. We were in a bit of a rush and they accommodated our requests and still had a great experience.

Friendly and welcoming staff, great service and tasty food, fun vibe and cool spot to hang out. Only issue would be it was a bit pricey. Great experience overall and would definitely go back.
