About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

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.

    This is our second time at Alder. We were so blown away with the service the first time that we needed to go back for our anniversary. We got complementary glasses of champagne upon seating. Everyone congratulated us on our anniversary which was a pleasant surprise. The food was just as amazing as the time we went for brunch.

    Hi Tony! Thank you so much for celebrating your anniversary with us—we’re honored to have been part of such a special occasion! We’re thrilled to hear the service, especially from Michaela, made your evening memorable. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the team. Alder team

    I had called in advance to see if two additional people could join our table and the staff gave me an extremely hard time and said that it was not possible to accomodate. The food was not great in consideration of price range - price and the quality of the food did not match up. Wouldn't recommend. If you're at the Ace Hotel, just hang out upstairs at the lounge bar - much better experience.

    What a great place!! My husband and I went here for our anniversary dinner and were not disappointed. I have Crohn’s Disease and am very sensitive to gluten and they accommodated me with no issue. Super friendly staff and the food was INCREDIBLE! Get the coconut cream pie, it’s worth the calories!

    Went for brunch to Alder. Service was on point, from the very beginning to end, and very attentive! Food coursed and brought out very seamlessly with table cleaning and plate & cutlery changes in between. Dishes were delicious :)
