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.

    Alo delivered everything I was hoping for on the new year eve menu (12.30.24). Service was very attentive and friendly. Food was very “festive” with luxurious ingredients cooked to perfection. I left happy. Thank you everyone.

    As usual, the food is fantastic. However, the wine pairing could really be kicked up a notch. As it stands, we have 3.5⭐️ wines matched to 5⭐️ food.

    The food has improved since receiving their Michelin star and the wine pairing was surprisingly good. However, as a fine dining establishment, playing loud heavy metal music in the background spoiled the ambience.

    Food was great - got a lot of seafood which I didn’t expect. Only downside was the seating which was a bit uncomfortable (seat back was quite deep)
