About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • 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.

    Last time we ordered off the menu and everything was delicious. This time we went with the curated minus the pork, once again everything delicious! The tuna, the tartar, the bone marrow, I could go on and on. Instead I will save my breath so that I may live another day, because everyday that passes is another day closer to my return…QUETZAL!

    Every dish was excellent. Just a little salty for a hardcore cantonese. But excellent

    This was our third time. Although the overall experience was very good I felt the food experience had slipped slightly from our previous visits. Impactful though when you consider overall value for the money.

    My husband and I did the tasting menu. We tried 10 delicious plates! It was served as shareable but I almost couldn't eat the dessert I was so full by the end. 10/10 would recommend and we'll definitely be back!

    Incredible food and experience. Service was excellent. The Somm/AGM has some of the best/unique pairings I've ever had for a tasting menu. The amount of food for the tasting menu was perfect. Every course was beatiful and a 10/10. Easily a top 3 dining experience for me ever. Cannot say enough good things about this place. A MUST when visiting Toronto for an incredible Mexican cuisine experience.
