Best Contemporary Canadian Restaurants in Alexandra Park

I had a wonderful dinner date at Bar Vendetta last night. The service was excellent—the staff was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the evening. Our food arrived at the perfect pace, allowing us to enjoy each dish without feeling rushed. Although we didn’t get to try the cocktails, the pasta and small plates were outstanding, with just the right balance of flavors and seasoning. The ambiance was fantastic—from the beautifully decorated walls to the cozy seating, every detail added to the experience. The only thing that could be improved is the music selection, which didn’t quite enhance the atmosphere as much as it could. A more curated playlist could elevate the mood even further. Overall, it's a great spot for a date or a night out, and I’d definitely come back!

Truly memorable dining experience. Dishes presented so beautifully and the taste/texture combination is exquisite. Staff so attentive. The box of mini desserts at end of the meal was so special.

My first time here but not my last. The environment is large, spacious, light and bright and comfortable. I am a fan of Shakshuka, and N.M.B made it best of all I have eaten. The herbs, spices and vegetables in it made it extra special. The staff could not have been more hospitable. Even though I was there a little before opening, they welcomed me in and brought me coffee, with a smile. (First time ever that a restaurant allows a client in before they had opened.) Can't wait for the summer when they have their outdoor tables set up.

Cocktail Lounge is awesome - if pretty hidden and on the DL. Gnocchi and ceviche are stand outs.

Delicious restaurant, all the dishes and food is amazing 👏 🤩
