Exceptional(375)

$$$$Price: Expensive

• Bistro • Entertainment District

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 burger 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 kind-of-a-bistro and kind-of-a-diner with an internationally inspired menu which is representative of the diverse cultures in Toronto.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.

Food was great. Had the Branzino, Calabrian Chilli Asparagus, Pear Burrata Salad and the bread and butter. All were really well done in their own way. Service was excellent from the hostess, to the bus boys to the wait staff. We had Emily as our waitress and she was friendly, helpful and just make the evening that much better. Great job…we will be back!
