Best Contemporary Canadian Restaurants in King East

Great service and very creative menu. Highly recommend the 5 course tasting menu. We were a party of 3 & each course was unique - that’s 15 different dishes! Amazing variety and each plate was special and worth the price. Definitely will go back for our next special occasion.

It has been a while since we were at Alobar. Both dishes and service have improved significantly which is great news. Had cocktails and beautiful seafood. It was very loud at the resto due to the low ceiling but that’s the only downside.

The service and food quality is absolutely amazing. My wife and I have been trying to get reservations for years and finally we were successful on the evening of our 35th Anniversary. From the Hostess to the servers Adam, Godwin and the AGM Johann, everyone were super attentive and provided great input about the menu options chosen. The Steak Tarta & French onion Soup, both developed tastefully with the perfect combination of herbs & spices and creatively presented. The Brome Lake Duck and poached pear a perfect combination of sweet and acid complementing the tender meat of the pine- glazed Duck. The Lamb Rack, tender and tastefully matched with the white port jus and charred broccoli, made for a mouth watering pallet. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and ended it with a rich cappuccino and Black Forest gâteau which we romantically shared and now look forward to our next visit, hopefully soon.

Highly recommend! The food was excellent. An eclectic menu with lots of variety. Service was top notch. As this is a culinary and hospitality school, you can’t beat the value. At a « traditional » restaurant in Toronto, you would pay two or three times what you do here AND you are supporting students. Win win! We will definitely go again.

We went on a Wednesday night so it was quiet overall. Despite that our party had a fabulous time chatting with Andras the bartender. We had 6 cocktails and 5 different ones. Each cocktail had a fresh zing to it. Our favourite was the Sandia Soltice which we ended up ordering twice because it was that good and boozy. It was happy hour sp we got to partake in delightful h'orderves from George and other snacks that we ordered. Fun time and great venue.
