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 Plate
2022

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 lovely time out and the view is incredible. The food was very well presented and the service was impeccable. The taste of the food though lack the rest of the experience. It looked great but the taste didn’t measure up in our opinion. We ordered cocktails and mine was great but my partner did not like his at all and I had to drink it. I had the tuna and although cooked to perfection the flavours with it made it very dull. My partner had the duck and enjoyed it. It a tough call and I will go back buy next time we are out and really wanting GREAT food at that price level we will probably venture elsewhere.

I have been to several of the higher end restaurants in Toronto and I have to say that this one ranks up in the top 5. The views are spectacular, the service is amazing and the food is top notch. It is the perfect spot for a special meal.

I had a group of clients visiting from Italy, everyone in the restaurant were absolutely first class especially those who accommodated us with items for our two groups to sign our bottle of champagne. Food was very good, with a very good wine selection.

Tried both the salmon and tomatoes as well as the tuna both were amazing and melted in your mouth. The cocktails were cute and tasted great but a tad strong if you aren't a frequent drinker.

A somewhat wonderful experience, mostly suited towards the Bay St. finance workers looking to impress their clients. The ambiance and overall vibe of the restaurant is cool, chic, and a great view of the city. Entrees are extremely overpriced and lacking a vision in flavour and identity. A very "Canadiana" food experience, everything was cooked perfectly, it was just lacking a shared vision, flavour profile and identity. I was expecting a better dining experience, and was hoping the taste and flavours would deliver at this price point. Happy to have checked this off the list, but save yourself the reservation and explore other options in the city with a better curated a la carte menu.

The service and food quality is absolutely amazing. My wife and I have been trying to get reservations for years and finally we were successful on the evening of our 35th Anniversary. From the Hostess to the servers Adam, Godwin and the AGM Johann, everyone were super attentive and provided great input about the menu options chosen. The Steak Tarta & French onion Soup, both developed tastefully with the perfect combination of herbs & spices and creatively presented. The Brome Lake Duck and poached pear a perfect combination of sweet and acid complementing the tender meat of the pine- glazed Duck. The Lamb Rack, tender and tastefully matched with the white port jus and charred broccoli, made for a mouth watering pallet. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and ended it with a rich cappuccino and Black Forest gâteau which we romantically shared and now look forward to our next visit, hopefully soon.
