Critically acclaimed to be among Canada’s best restaurants, Canoe's unique location high atop the TD Bank Tower affords a breathtaking view of the city and Lake Ontario. The design, originally conceptualized by noted designers Yabu Pushelberg and most recently refreshed by Solid Design Creative, is clean and simple, yet absolutely stylish - a brilliant reflection of Canada's rich raw environment. That same brilliance is captured through the flavours and textures of Chef Ron McKinlay’s inspired regional Canadian cuisine.PLEASE NOTE: After careful consideration, our team has decided not to participate in this year’s Summerlicious program. Since reopening after a series of devastating lockdowns, we have continued to navigate industry challenges that would hinder our ability in delivering the best Summerlicious experience possible for our guests. We thank you for your understanding and appreciate your continued support.
