About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Innovative
At Quetzal, we celebrate regional Mexican cuisine, inspired by traditional flavours and cooking styles, all cooked over a 28 foot-long open fire that runs the span of the hot line.  Traditional moles, sauces and little-known native ingredients are transported to Toronto and infused with the bounty of local Ontario and Canadian produce, for a one-of-a-kind dining experience. Quetzal is located at the corner of College & Bathurst, at the edges of four Toronto hotspot neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Kensington Market, Harbord Village, and the Annex.

From the OpenTable editors: Fire-kissed flavours from a wood-burning grill and lesser-seen Mexican dishes that go beyond tacos and tostadas earned Quetzal a MICHELIN star. A creative cocktail menu centred on tequila and mezcal, plus a curvy, eye-catching ceiling that channels a Mexican market, complete the restaurant’s ultra-cool vibe.

    From the moment of entering right through to leaving, the service by all staff was impeccable. Staff very helpful with the cocktails and the menu. Every dish was excellent especially the Japanese Wagyu. A splendid time was had!

    Wow. This was amazing. Sat at the chef bar. Was a cold evening so the fires were welcome. Can’t recall everything we had on the tasting menu, but I do remember that everything tasted incredibly good, and the margaritas were special. I think the rim was the key. Combo of salted and sweet…. So good! Love to go again!

    Amazing experience. Food was outstanding. Our waiter was absolutely phenomenal. He was very attentive, gave us the best recommendations and truly made our experience one of a kind. We sat at the chef’s counter. Highly recommend sitting there since it’s very fun to watch the chefs at work. Overall, amazing food, service, ambiance, and experience.

    Overall vibe & food were very good. Disappointed that it was my partners birthday which I mentioned when booking & the dessert came with no candle or acknowledgement of the occasion. Restaurant was also extremely loud.
