  • 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.

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.

    We enjoyed the spread of delicacies offered at Quetzal. The cocktails were super yummy - simple flavours that came together beautifully. We ordered the chicharito, no heather, como fruity, and sin moda Mexicana. For entradas we had the amberjack aguachile, and mushroom and shishito. The amberjack was a fresh take on ceviche - balanced between rustic and refined. The lamb empanada was the ACE of the plate! Smoky, juicy and downright delicious. We also ordered the octopus that we personally felt was cooked on the tougher side (albeit paired well with the salsa macha and we polished it nonetheless) Our deserts were heavenly and we were glad to have saved some space - the Mexican spiced chocolate had the surprising sourness of passion fruit and crispy honeycomb , the tres leches was airy and the spiced Mexican coffee was a warm way to wrap it all up. Thanks to our server for making the evening a special one!

    This was my fourth or fifth time dining at Quetzal. The food and service was exceptional. Drinks lacked some balance but it did not hinder our overall experience. Still my top spot in the city.

    Extremely loud (people shouting to be heard I guess). Couldn’t even hear music just occasional bass sound! Hard to even hear waiters describing the meal (curated). Chairs a bit hard ! Meal and service outstanding.
