About this restaurant

Fancy
Good for special occasions
Great for scenic views

Critically acclaimed to be among Canada’s best restaurants, Canoe's unique location high atop the TD Bank Tower affords a breathtaking view of the city and Lake Ontario. The design, originally conceptualized by noted designers Yabu Pushelberg and most recently refreshed by Solid Design Creative, is clean and simple, yet absolutely stylish - a brilliant reflection of Canada's rich raw environment. That same brilliance is captured through the flavours and textures of Chef Ron McKinlay’s inspired regional Canadian cuisine.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Ron McKinlay

MICHELIN Plate2022

From the OpenTable editors: Jaw-dropping city views from wrap-around, floor-to-ceiling windows are what first draw diners to Canoe, but exceptional dishes that celebrate Canada’s homegrown cuisine have kept them coming back for nearly 30 years. Stylish, Canadiana-inspired decor and a stellar tasting menu make this one of Toronto’s ultimate special-occasion spots.

We had a fantastic evening at the canoe restaurant. Not only are the views absolutely beautiful from the 54th floor. The restaurant itself has a beautiful worm cosy ambulance. We enjoyed our tastes menu thoroughly. The food was excellent and we had ordered a vegan tasters menu. All the Way staff was very friendly, helpful and relaxed. We enjoyed our experience immensely.

Beautiful views and exceptional food. It’s not cheap so plan on a bigger bill than some downtown Toronto restaurants.

Enjoyed the tasting menu with wine parings. Excellent atmosphere, service and food. My only criticism was that there didn’t seem to be any consistency in dress code. Several customers were in T-shirts, blue jeans, and trainers. One guest was even wearing shorts and a T shirt. Several customers were dressed well like myself. Another unfortunate note was that at the end of my meal the guests next to me (wearing trainers) were served something with such a pungent aroma, that offended my sense of smell and spoiled the end of my meal. Which was a sad way to end an otherwise delicious meal.

We had a really nice experience, but I will stay for the price. It needs to be a bit more than a nice experience. We did the tasting menu and the spacing of the dishes was oddly fast at the beginning and then very extended at the end. Overall, our server was fantastic and the ambiance was lovely but a lot of the dishes felt fine to good, not great. The lamb and the mushroom dish were excellent, but the oyster and asparagus were really just fine. The scallops were good. The wine pairing wasn’t phenomenal. All is all if this were a $250 meal a person I’d say it was phenomenal but it was a $450 meal a person and it was just not at that level from my opinion.

Some of the best food that I have had, and certainly the best service. While it certainly was a pricey meal, it was a strong value. Everything was cooked to perfection and presented beautifully. I hope to go every time I am in Toronto.

What a view! Walking through the restaurant to our seat, right by the kitchen and facing King Street West, just gave me an ear to ear smile. The service was good, and the food was excellent. I got the mushroom risotto and the others got the salmon and a couple of other dishes.

Visited for lunch. One of the best views in Toronto. Food is good, but not exceptional. Trout was very fresh, steak was delicious. Service fell short - server poured us water in the beginning and did not come back until after 15 min, when we already debated if we should leave. Other staff completely ignored us. Never did a quality check on our food. Overall a little disappointed.
