From the OpenTable editors: Don Alfonso 1890 is the epitome of fine dining, from the delicate Italian plates to the chic decor. The restaurant has collected countless awards for its nuanced approach to Mediterranean cuisine, including one MICHELIN star. The tasting menu is a can’t-miss experience, but a la carte dishes like ravioli stuffed with pheasant are equally tempting.

From tasty cocktails to a very tasty a la carte menu, we were very happy with everything we had. The bison dish and Wagyu beef were my favorites.

Iv ate at a lot of Michelin restaurants and this was just okay, nothing was bad but nothing blew me away. Service was 10/10, and the views of Toronto are incredible.

From the moment the elevator doors opened onto the 38ᵗʰ floor of the Westin Harbour Castle, I knew we were in for something special. Don Alfonso delivers a level of finesse that makes “fine dining” feel almost too casual a term.

The service was great, the food was amazing. Their ended up giving us a desert on the house, something never expected foe granted but rarely seeing in Toronto so much appreciated. We did the A La Rate menu since we wanted a bit of choice. The portions are very similar to any Michelin star, but I was very full by the end and couldn't finish some of the meals. We'll worth the money imho for a nice treat.

What an honor it was to dine at Don Alfonso 1890. It’s a MUST when you are in Toronto. The personal attention you get from the minute you step off the elevator is why they are a 5 star restaurant. Thank you for hosting an unforgettable experience for my husband & I.
