10. Aloette

4.7

Exceptional(221)

Price: Expensive

• Bistro • Entertainment District

Booked 20 times today

Opened in 2017. Michelin-recommended since 2022.We first imagined Aloette to be the perfect diner that we’d want to dine in – a menu with a great cheeseburger paired with a fantastic and fun wine list, a long row of bar stools facing the bar and the kitchen, and an energetic atmosphere accented with an old school hip hop playlist. The buzz of the dining room mirrors the energy of the street on Spadina Avenue; the dining room itself mimics a train’s dining car. It’s a bistro-meets-diner-meets-internationally-inspired menu which is also representative of the diverse culture in Toronto. Our service team is upbeat and genuine but also deeply knowledgeable about the menu and offerings. Brunch at Aloette was something we said we’d never do. But the city kept asking and we’re glad to be a new staple in the Queen West neighbourhood for mimosas, chicken and waffles, and piping hot coffees. We hope you love our little diner as much as we and our team do. Patrick Kriss & Zane Pearl

My husband and I came here for our first wedding anniversary and everything was amazing! Our server, Ellen, was super helpful with food recommendations and very friendly. Everything we got was delicious, especially the broccolini, 100 layer lasagna, and vegan gnocchi!! Would definitely come back and highly recommend to all :)

Incredible service! I chose this place to propose to my now fiance, since it has such a beautiful booth. Heart (If I stand correctly) was a great host and made sure everything was just as planned. I brought a dessert with the ring in it for them to bring out, and they took amazing care of it. We went for brunch and had the pancakes and omelette, they were amazing! Very impressed by the service, personal care and hospitality from all the staff.

Went here for some drinks and good music with a large group for my birthday, it was so much fun. The music was amazing, the disco ball and dance floor gave off a great vibe and there were plenty of places to sit. I really appreciated the staff helping me plan for a large group and making my birthday memorable. Would highly recommend for a night out or special occasion!
