  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    MICHELIN 1 Star

    2022

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.

    Very good service and food! Every dish is delicious, and after serving a dish, the waiter will clean up the dishes and wipe the table, which is the best service I have ever experienced in Toronto. I will come again in the future!

    It was our first time here and I will keep it concise and to the point. It was an Anniversary dinner and we switch it up every year to tick a box and keep it fresh and interesting. We enjoyed our evening here and there was some excellent points and some good experiences. Location: I am coming from an hour east and this is an excellent location by my standards. Easy to find parking and other than the normal Toronto traffic issues should be an easy experience. Ambiance: Looks smaller than it is from the street front but walk through the door and smile!! This place packs a punch and don't forget they are set up to grill on a high level so there will be a full experience I give it a 10/10! Meal: Some dishes we had would be excellent!!! and some I would have to say good to very good. Very fresh approach to the menu and I was not disappointed. Service: 10/10 Attentive to the highest level and they are operating a well oiled machine. nothing missed, quick to keep the evening flow. Very friendly $Value: Given the cost of everything has taken a huge reset in standards, this will come as a not cheap evening, but, I will say it is line with where the current great restaurants fall and I would repeat in time. ( more adventures to try) Overall a solid evening out.

    Fantastic food and service. Interior is very modern and elegant. We tried the tasting menu which was mind blowing. The cocktails are very unique and tasty. The restaurant is a bit on the pricier side but every cent is worth it. Definitely recommend it.

    A good experience although it would have been good to know how hot sitting at the chef's table was going to be. We had the curated menu and the food was very good and thoughtfully prepared. Was it the best meal I've had? Not even close and for the money, and Michelin star, I was expecting more. Service was decent but our server was a little shaky and spilled our wine a bunch of times. The chefs that were near where we were sitting were also not as skilled or reserved as I would have expected for a Michelin star restaurant. Overall, we enjoyed our meal but I think this would be a one and done kind of place given the price and experience.

    Everything was amazing from the moment we walked in until we were done several courses later. Amazing service, our table was cleared often and promptly. Cocktails were fantastic, the food was incredible. Everything was executed perfectly, the rib eye was the star of the show. Such an amazing experience for my family and I. Cant wait to share this experience with friends. Thank you.
