About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Vegan-friendly
  • Charming
Avelo Restaurant is located in a heritage townhouse on a quiet street in Yorkville and serves some of the city's finest plant-based cuisine. Our aim is to deliver an extraordinary and immersive dining experience where the servers guide guests through an exploration of many small plates highlighting seasonal ingredients while offering insight into each dish. We also offer an optional wine pairing and are able to accommodate many dietary restrictions with advance notice.

Avelo hosts two dinner seatings per evening where guests choose between the 5-course or the 8-course* tasting menu. The seating times are 5-6:15pm and 7:45-8:30pm.

Prices:
5-course:
$70/person Wed, Thu, Sun
$85/person Fri-Sat

8-course*:
$115/person Wed, Thu, Sun
$135/person Fri-Sat

For a more casual plant-based experience, see our other concept, Bar Avelo, which focuses on cocktails, and offers an a la carte Tapas menu.

*The 8 course meal is only available during our second seating time from 7:45-8:30pm

    Excellent complex tastes with ingredients from around the world. Deep savoury textures and unique plate design will keep me coming back but I did not enjoy the soy protein desert. It was hard and not enjoyable. Wish they did something more classic with the dessert like a v. chocolate cake or cheesecake. They were very accommodating for me as I asked for gluten free. I would still come back.

    The cuisine was elevated, creative, and uniquely inspired for our 5-course meal. Serena, our server, was knowledgeable, personable, and professional. Wine pairings were great. What a vegan fine dining gem!

    Who would have thought that Vegan cooking could be so flavourful and presented so beautifully. It's clear that the chef and staff take great pride in the food and service.

    Just felt really rushed for an 8 course meal. We were literally there an hour only.

    I recall exclaiming happily mid-meal that this is my favourite tasting menu in the entire city. I have visited a number of times and every time the menu is different. The service? Always top notch. I couldn’t fault this establishment on a single thing, truly.

    Always such an amazing immersive experience at Avelo. Highly recommend if you’re open to trying new food (especially if you’re vegan). The dishes are unique, delicious and beautifully plated. Highly recommend!

    The tasting dinner at Avelo was an outstanding experience. Each dish was a labor-intensive fusing of flavors. Service was faultless and the physical space is beautiful. We loved every minute.

    We had an excellent experience. We felt well-taken care of and they went above and beyond accommodating a dietary restriction we noted when we made the reservation. The restaurant is a cozy and intimate space, tastefully appointed and comfortable. The five course tasting menu was well-designed and exceptionally tasty. Each delicious and creative plant-based course was artfully plated, and the servers took their time explaining what each was and even, when necessary, how best to eat it. We will definitely go back and would like to try the bar upstairs, where they have shareables and drinks. The dining room tasting menu will be a good special occasion option for us in the future.
