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 cheeseburger 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 a bistro-meets-diner-meets-internationally-inspired menu which is also representative of the diverse culture in Toronto. Our service team is upbeat and genuine but also deeply knowledgeable about the menu and offerings.

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.

We hope you love our little diner as much as we and our team do.

    Very good quality food. We had Sunday brunch and tried 4 dishes. Pork belly , escargot, and poached egg was my favorite. Price is a bit expensive for brunch. Restaurant is quite small. Aperol cocktail was great too!

    Perfect food and worth the price. The desert menu and quality can use some upgrade. Service was great just got a couple of dirty cloths when the table was refreshed for desert. Overall highly recommended.

    On the street patio. Lots to see with the constant passing parade. Wonderful food as always. Melon salad, fried chicken, sous vide lamb skewer, and unordered fries each presented separately. Very good wine list. Attentive waiter and terrific serving staff. A communication error resulted in fries rather than shrimp and grits but they were great.
