Alo Restaurant 法式餐馆

This was truly just so spectacular. My favourite restaurant experience I may have ever had. Every course was beyond any expectation, and by the time we were presented with dessert any expectation we had was already so far surpassed.

Quite simply one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Food and service absolutely impeccable.

If I could give them 10 stars for everything, I absolutely would. I had a special accommodation, and they were so creative in how they adjusted some of the courses while keeping me close to what the original experience would be. All of the food was incredibly delicious. The team even created a great mocktail pairing for me and it was also amazing. This is my second time being lucky enough to dine here and I highly recommend it. Thank you to all the wonderful team who took care of us - it was truly and incredible experience.

Amazing food. Seeing the kitchen working was a great experience. Wine selection was excellent.

We celebrated my birthday at the Bar at the main Alo restaurant on Spadina. Sensational meal with perfect wine pairings. Dare I say the best restaurant in Canada!!!

!! For people who try to have a nice fancy date, just don’t try this one to be your first fancy dinner, for 250+/person, you have so many great choices out there. If you have patience, just read below before booking tasting menu. Been to many Michelin restaurants, this is the worst one. Try to create fancy oriental food, but just nothing good. Among all the expensive restaurants I have been to, this is the only one trying very hard to sell all kinds of extra dish/wine CONSTANTLY during your dinner. Sauce has the canned tomato taste, sorbet has mixed meaty taste which is disgusting. Meat all done by slow low temperature boiling, very boring and tasteless. Dessert tastes very cheap, the sweetness is so cheap compared to any generally good restaurants. The portion is so so small even compare to Michelin 2and 3 star restaurants.. 600dollars dinner is one the worst dinner I have ever had no matter what the price is. The fusion creation and taste gives me the impression that the chef is so immature but try very hard to sell the oriental idea to people who don’t really know it. I have had beijing roasting duck in New York 3-star, and japanese food inspired dishes in all kinds of fancy restaurants, they were all good. This is the only place I am so disappointed that I felt ridiculous about its reputation and price.

The service was amazing, we sat at the bar and the wine pearing was a great choice, the food was interesting and delicious. Truly a great experience!

Pretty magical experience. Came for the tasting menu and it DID NOT disappoint. Well worth it. Thoughtfully curated menu, dishes and flavours. Drinks were exceptional, elevated. Yes, the buns/dinner rolls are as good as everyone claims. Was blown away by dessert. The flavours and presentation were thought out down to the finest details. Service was amazing (they're also very professional in mannerisms and attire), nice bathrooms (you have to check out bathrooms if it's a Michelin star restaurant), lovely ambiance.

Fantastic meal for a special happy birthday to my lady. Amanda was our server made our meal very special. We had the tasting menu and Amanda recommended great drinks for us. We opt in for the Foir Gras and A5 Wagyu option and it was a fantastic upgrade. The tasting menu was really tasty, and service was excellent thank you

To celebrate our anniversary, my husband made a reservation at this highly acclaimed restaurant on social media two months in advance. This was also our first expensive meal since moving from New York to Toronto. Overall, the food was indeed quite good, and we ended up feeling quite full. We even received complimentary melon sorbet and a small strawberry chocolate cake. The restaurant likely deserves its Michelin star. However, I have a few points of dissatisfaction. First, as a high-end dining establishment, the sofas had many noticeable stains on the backrests, which gave a poor impression and made it feel like a dingy diner. This was really disappointing. The hostess moved us to a sofa with relatively fewer stains, but unfortunately, it still had some. This was quite off-putting, especially since I was wearing light summer clothes. Second, I would like to believe that their seating arrangement was not intended to be racially discriminatory because their service was otherwise quite good. All the patrons seated on our side were Asian, while the other side was occupied by white patrons. Perhaps this arrangement was coincidental, but I hope those reading this review can provide more insights. Third, the restaurant's decor and table settings could use some updating if they hope to improve further. Many renowned restaurants worldwide could serve as inspiration. I'm sharing these thoughts because we were satisfied with the food and we hope Alo can continue to improve and become even better.
