The Most Exclusive Restaurants in Toronto

Need to make dinner plans? The most exclusive restaurants in Toronto might not be easy to find, but they’re certainly worth it. Sure, you could spend a bunch of cash on a filet mignon or Kobe beef, but does that mean it’s the best?

Find out by getting a table for two at one of these exclusive Toronto restaurants…

Alo

Address: 163 Spadina Avenue
Neighbourhood: Queen West
Website: www.alorestaurant.com

Alo has quickly built itself up to be one of the most exclusive restaurants in Toronto. Situated atop an old Victorian building, dinner at Alo consists of fine French cooking and only the freshest ingredients. It’s not easy to find a table, but the tasting menu is a real stunner. Black trumpet mushrooms, plump and soft pockets of agnolotti, and 60-day aged beef ribeye are just some of what you can expect here.

Cote De Boeuf

Address: 130 Ossington Avenue
Neighbourhood: Ossington Strip
Website: www.cotedeboeuf.ca/

Butcher shop by day, fine-dining locale by night. Right on the Ossington strip, Cote De Boeuf is where you can indulge in their bar à vin, with fresh oysters, cheeses, terrine, and – of course – wine. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, you can also try the Butcher’s Table – which features a tasting menu of the freshest assortment of everything they have on offer. This is a casual twist on exclusivity.

Kaiseki Yu-Zen Hashimoto

Address: 6 Garamond Court
Neighbourhood: Flemingdon Park
Website: www.kaiseki.ca/

There’s only one person in this kitchen of this iconic Japanese spot, and that’s Masaki Hashimoto. One of the premier sushi chefs in Toronto, Canada, and the world, he’s the brains behind this omakase menu that serves as the foundation of one of the best exclusive restaurants in Toronto. What’s an omakase? It’s a tasting menu, prepared that day, with the freshest ingredients prepared by a world class chef. For dinner, it’s $300 for the best Japanese cuisine the city has on offer.

Canis

Address: 746 Queen St West
Neighbourhood: Trinity Bellwoods
Website: www.canisrestaurant.com/

Rustic Canadiana right across from Toronto’s Trinity Bellwoods Park, Canis makes for an exciting evening out in the West End. Featuring a local, seasonal, and ever-changing selection of dishes, Canis is quickly redefining fine-dining in Toronto. Thanks to how new it is, tables can still be hard to come by, which is why it qualifies as one of the most exclusive restaurants in Toronto right now.

Montgomery’s

Address: 996 Queen Street West
Neighbourhood: West Queen West
Website: www.montgomerysrestaurant.com/

Tucked away on West Queen West, Montgomery’s is a minimalist-styled eatery that is easy to miss, but it’s one of the finest in the area. Featuring an open kitchen, you can easily see your meals being prepared right in front of you. There’s grilled squid, crispy cold water shrimp, rillettes and pig ears, as well as plenty of fine cheeses to sample. Want to feel like a real insider? Montgomery’s is the place – and you might just be able to get a table tonight (if you’re lucky).

Baro

Address: 485 King Street West
Neighbourhood: King West
Website: www.barotoronto.com/

Right in the heart of the bustling King West district lies one of the most exclusive restaurants in Toronto. Baro is an exceptional Latin affair, with mouthwatering ceviche (from swordfish to shrimp), steaming hot empanadas, and some of the most vibrant chimichurri sauce you’ll ever taste. The best part? The secret bar upstairs, with its own password, is where the who’s who of the city often like to congregate and say “Cheers” to yet another evening in the city.
