Great restaurant. Excellent food, fair pricing, great service, nice ambiance. The only thing missing was availability of hot drinks at the end of the meal. We were told that this was by design but we think this decision should be reconsidered. However this will not preclude us from returning. We think that having the restaurant under COR would be an asset and it would certainly help visitors find out about this wonderful eatery.

King West

About the restaurant

Cocktail party. Art gallery. Listening room. Rooftop where romantic notions rule. Evangeline is a sly wink toward Canada’s first cinematic feature, an embrace of the anything’s possible spark of the silver screen. It’s a bar for ordering champagne (or any number of fine cocktails) and snacks to share, indulging in fireside gossip and making eyes from across the room.

While we offer select reservations, Evangeline is an open seating, walk-in venue for all. For larger group bookings and buyout requests, please shoot us an email.

Come celebrate the night with us.

Please note that Evangeline is now operating as a cashless venue
