It’s a unique culinary experience. Highly recommend to seat at the kitchen counter. Very interesting menu items. One note was some servers keep forgetting the food description.

Various fusion dishes presented in a French style. Food and service is superb, with very interesting takes on various ingredients. I highly recommend the wine pairings as the sommelier is very knowledgeable.

It was a great experience and definitely worth every penny, we got their tasting menu. The food was incredible and the service was good. I do hope they put in a lot more work on their cocktail menu and make their desserts a bit better.

The food was fantastic, plating on point. What I love is how every dish has described with ingredients and origin. Service was top-notch as usual. Never being there before, I would have given 5 stars. However, being there before gave me a comparison. I noticed some ingredients were not as premium as the first visit, and some dishes were not as mind-blowing as before. Taken that into consideration, the value for the experience was nowhere near of that 3 years ago on our first visit. After the Michelin star and inflation now has cost more than double what it was back then.

Great dining experience! When we first walked in, they acknowledged our anniversary and later brought out champagne to toast.The food was delicious and presented beautifully. The service was amazing as they walked through the meal and dishes delivered in sync. They even had a blanket for me since I was by the window. It is hard to get a reservation but worth it.

Alo is a wonderful experience all around and has been awarded a Michelin star in 2022. The tasting menu was well balanced and had some amazing and deep flavours. All of the dishes were executed to perfection and all of the ingredients were fresh and high quality. There weren’t any standout dishes during our dinner as everything was just very good and we enjoyed the experience as a whole. Expect to pay around 300 per person all in.

This place is iconic for a reason. We went for a birthday dinner and did the tasting menu without the wine pairing. From beginning to end the food, drinks and service were exceptional across all 3 hours of our seating. The staff were friendly and unpretentious but also attentive and precise. We sat in the dining room and had the privacy of our halfmoon booth but with a good vantage point of the rest of the room and the kitchen. Would be very interested to try the bar seating along the kitchen next time to see the chefs at work. The sticker shock is no joke so for the average attendee be prepared ahead of time. For a special occasion we were glad to splurge for the evening but it's certainly a once in a while/lifetime experience. Proud to have such a world class place in our city. Compliments to the staff and kitchen for a wonderful evening.

Finally posting this incredible meal! It’s probably one of the best dining experiences you can have in Toronto is the tasting menu at here. The dishes were super fun and offered such a broad variety of flavours and ingredients. Definitely worth the long wait for resos! These are just some of the highlights from the meal.

DH took me to @alorestaurant for my birthday. Sauces for the scallops and veal tenderloin were WAY too salty... Unfortunately, I had to send the scallops back. Maybe a bad night??Service was awesome and the wine connoisseur is professional and knowledgeable.Wasn't really a Michelin Star ⭐️ experience we were hoping for...

Alo

One of the worst and most expensive meals in my life.There were some dishes that were very good (notably the veal), but there were more bad/mediocore dishes than good. The foie gras tart ruined the entire meal, as it had a taste that made me feel like puking.The service was quite good, up until he saw that no one at our table was touching the foie gras tart, and he stopped asking how we were liking the food. Honestly disappointed with that reaction and would’ve expected something more from a Michelin star restaurant.Poor experience overall.
