About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Lively
Charming

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 and kind-of-a-diner with an internationally inspired menu which is representative of the diverse cultures 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.

Fantastic food! Quick quality service. Desserts are exquisite. The place is small and quite loud so make sure you have a reservation in place. Tables inside can comfortably accomodate up to 4 people, I personally wouldn't do more.
