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 were quite disappointed with our recent visit, especially given the positive reviews we had read on OpenTable and RedNote. The chef’s selection of seafood was underwhelming — aside from the oysters, which were fresh and enjoyable, the rest fell short. The shrimp had an unpleasant smell, the salmon seemed denatured, and oddly, there were popcorn-like items included, which felt out of place and unappetizing. For our mains, we ordered the tuna and the short ribs. The short ribs were delicious but disappointingly small in portion. As for the tuna, it was unfortunately the worst I’ve had. It looked like tuna but lacked any aroma or taste. I wouldn’t recommend it. We also ordered the thyme ice cream for dessert to celebrate a birthday. Sadly, the toppings were not appealing and took away from the experience. To top it off, when we arrived, we noticed several empty tables with great views. We assumed they were reserved, only to later see walk-in customers being seated there — quite upsetting, as we were there to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Overall, the experience did not meet our expectations, and we likely won’t return. There are better options in the same price range that offer more value and consistency.

Always a great view and had charming server. Steak tartare app was good. My wife ordered lamb and I ordered the duck. Unfortunately my duck came at barely room temperature although her lamb was fine. Sent the duck back and received a fresh meal, that was actually hot. Thought the restaurant, since they messed up and ruined the flow/enjoyment of our experience might have done a little something extra to make up for it. Nothing, no complimentary dessert or coffee, zero. Most restaurants make a gesture in these circumstances. Disappointing in a restaurant of this level and at this price point. Usually go a few times a year but hard time going back now.

The food was okay, nothing special. However, when I inquired about a particular dish, whether it was spicy, our waiter assured me it wasn't. Well, in fact, it was spicy, and I couldn't eat it. The waiter didn't apologize and didn't offer to make it up to me. I expected a far better service in a place like this. It was disappointing.

We had a wonderful experience at Canoe! The food was absolutely amazing—every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. We were celebrating my birthday, and the staff went above and beyond to make it special. They surprised me with a personalized birthday card and even treated me to a complimentary dessert, which was a lovely touch. The service throughout the evening was exceptional—every staff member was attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. The atmosphere, views, and attention to detail made the night unforgettable. Highly recommend Canoe for a special occasion or a memorable dining experience!
