About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Great for creative cocktails
At Quetzal, we celebrate regional Mexican cuisine, inspired by traditional flavours and cooking styles, all cooked over a 28 foot-long open fire that runs the span of the hot line.  Traditional moles, sauces and little-known native ingredients are transported to Toronto and infused with the bounty of local Ontario and Canadian produce, for a one-of-a-kind dining experience. Quetzal is located at the corner of College & Bathurst, at the edges of four Toronto hotspot neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Kensington Market, Harbord Village, and the Annex.

From the OpenTable editors: Fire-kissed flavours from a wood-burning grill and lesser-seen Mexican dishes that go beyond tacos and tostadas earned Quetzal a MICHELIN star. A creative cocktail menu centred on tequila and mezcal, plus a curvy, eye-catching ceiling that channels a Mexican market, complete the restaurant’s ultra-cool vibe.

    I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant and the staff that work there. We had a reservation last night for 8:45pm and, due to circumstances, we were going to be late. The staff were very accommodating and understanding and actually kept the kitchen open longer just to accomodate our lateness. This was for my son's 21 birthday and they absolutely made his day by being so amazing. And the food....incredible.
