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.

    Always an amazing culinary experience. Deserving of the best restaurant in Canada. It is an expensive meal, for sure, but I’d rather go out less often and have amazing food than go out regularly for meals that I can cook better at home myself. The portions are small, however since the courses are numerous I was stuffed at the end and couldn’t even finish the desserts, thankfully they pack them to take with you. Chef Patrick is a genius.

    Dear Jacqueline, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are delighted to hear that you had an amazing evening and enjoyed the tasting menu. We look forward to having you join us again. Sincerely, the team at Alo.

    We had the private room for my mothers birthday. Amazing experience food wine and great service. Everything you would expect from a fine dining experience. When you think of Michelin star restaurant experience I think this falls squarely there. The price is there too but definitely worth it if you can afford it.
