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 burger 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 kind of a bistro, kind of a diner, internationally inspired menu which is also representative of the diverse culture in Toronto.

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.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Patrick Kriss

From the OpenTable editors: The casual sibling of acclaimed restaurant Alo, Aloette redefines comfort food with impeccable execution and high-quality ingredients. The restaurant’s rail car-inspired interior feels both plush and nostalgic, while dishes like the iceberg wedge, burger topped with Beaufort and lemon meringue pie have achieved near-legendary status in Toronto since the restaurant opened in 2017.

    It’s highly rated for a reason, the meal, ambience and service were second to none. Went in March 31st to celebrate a birthday and didn’t feel rushed even for a second. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a date night/celebration.

    Every single dish we ordered was delicious. We were guided by our server (who was bartending as well), and the meal was perfect. Sharing all of our dishes was the best. Can’t recommend enough.

    Toronto is chock full of expensive and mediocre restaurants and bars that offer an aesthetic without any quality backing it up. This spot is definitely not in that category. It’s expensive, but the quality of the food and service does earn your dollars.

    Hello, Scott. Thank you for taking the time to write a review, and for your kind compliments. We are thrilled to hear that our food and service delivered a stand-out experience for you. We hope to welcome you back soon!
