  • Great for creative cocktails
At Quetzal, we celebrate regional Mexican cuisine, inspired by traditional flavours and cooking styles, all cooked over a 28 foot-long open fire that runs the span of the hot line.  Traditional moles, sauces and little-known native ingredients are transported to Toronto and infused with the bounty of local Ontario and Canadian produce, for a one-of-a-kind dining experience. Quetzal is located at the corner of College & Bathurst, at the edges of four Toronto hotspot neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Kensington Market, Harbord Village, and the Annex.

From the OpenTable editors: Fire-kissed flavours from a wood-burning grill and lesser-seen Mexican dishes that go beyond tacos and tostadas earned Quetzal a MICHELIN star. A creative cocktail menu centred on tequila and mezcal, plus a curvy, eye-catching ceiling that channels a Mexican market, complete the restaurant’s ultra-cool vibe.

    Service was good. Vegetarian options limited, but good. Restaurant was too noisy. On the whole we are happy either our experience.

    This is our third time visiting this restaurant and the food here is good. The service is impeccable and the ambiance is lovely. However that said the food hasn’t really changed since we first visited over 2 years ago. I might even say it wasn’t as good as the first few times we visited. We were hoping for a little variety on the menu, so we probably won’t be returning. I also found a piece of bone in my food which was a pretty off putting and potentially dangerous experience, and I thought our server would be a little more apologetic about it. Overall good but not great- at least not anymore.

    This is a great way to experience food that you could never have cooked at home. Five-star and more all the way with unique slavers, attention to detail, excellent service, great staff and all you could want in a restaurant experience.Worth the additional expense over a typical restaurant.

    We tried this place for my wife's birthday. I did not know it was a Michelin star restaurant before booking the table. Everything was amazing. Definitely give the cocktails a go as well if you are going here.

    An amazing dining experience! Sitting at the counter and watching the chefs cook was a true delight. Celebrating my birthday here was the best decision. I look forward to returning for another occasion to try more dishes from their menu.

    This place is the most amazing Michelle stared restaurant for daily in Toronto. I'm a star collector, and this is the only place where I have tried every single dish on the menu, other than those restaurants use seasonal menu.
