About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Charming
Alder’s kitchen is centered around its wood-fired grill and hearth. For the menu, Chef Patrick Kriss of the award-winning and nationally acclaimed Alo Food Group draws inspiration from traditions and techniques long-practiced in and around the Mediterranean – spanning Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Morocco. Whether you’re gathering friends for small plates and cocktails or diving into a feast of prime meats and fresh seafood, Alder has got you covered.

Awarded a spot on the Toronto Michelin Guide for 2023 and 2024, Alder is a warm and comfortable place to be, like just the right distance from a bonfire.

Alder is located in The Ace Hotel just a short walk away from most theatres, museums, Rogers Centre & Scotiabank Arena. The perfect cozy setting to begin your evening, with a diverse menu and genuine service team to make it a memorable one.

Serving brunch on Saturday & Sunday, come try our new menu!

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Moto Nishimura

From the OpenTable editors: The neatly stacked wood tucked beneath the entrance stairs at Alder signals the restaurant’s focus on wood-fired flavors. Dishes like grilled halloumi and short rib are inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, but it's the fire that truly shapes the menu. Helmed by chef Patrick Kriss, plates are simple yet masterful, reflecting the signature style of his celebrated Alo Group.

    Fantastic meal, but very much over priced. No sides or bread included all an up charge.

    Excellent service, thoughtful menu that is well executed. Note: not accessibility friendly - unless there’s some hidden elevator through the hotel side; there is nothing obvious, no signage to indicate a no stairs access to restaurant, and secret or back-door accessibility, if it does exist, is insulting, ableist segregation, not inclusivity. The basement restaurant ambiance is cosy, casual. I enjoyed my dining experience but I am able to use stairs.

    The service was impeccable, friendly and not stuffy for such a fine dining experience. Such a great place for a girl's night out - the food was delicious, drinks were well balanced (not too alcohol forward, the perfect touch) and of course you must try the coconut cream pie! Will always return for another visit!
