From the OpenTable editors: Alo is a Toronto essential adept at merging French and Asian flavors on blind multi-course tasting menus that could include rack of lamb with Thai curry or Koshihikari risotto with a porcini emulsion. Add a prime heritage building location, and it’s no wonder this ambitious go-getter landed a MICHELIN star.

    Have wanted to try this restaurant for a long time. Each dish was beautifully presented, showcasing a variety of flavors, colors, and textures. Surprisingly, the dishes incorporated a lot of Asian flavors paired with French techniques. Most of the dishes were excellent and unique, though there were a couple of misses. The service was good, with attentive staff. The ambiance was decent and comfortable, not suffocating or uncomfortable at all. Overall, I enjoyed my time and dinner here.
