Getting ready for our trip to Toronto, I watched a lot of travel guides to find just the perfect place to celebrate my Husband's 50th birthday dinner. Alo; time and time again was a restaurant that kept popping up as a popular option as a must-v
Tres disappointing!
My partner and I ordered ala carte. The portions were ridiculously tiny and given the price one would expect a more generous serving. Additionally, the duck was dry and lacked flavor and the dungess crab had less than a teaspoon of shredded crabmeat.

Modern French cuisine with impactful details in each component. The only criticism was that the red meat courses were a bit over seasoned, but everything else of the meal was fantastic. Great service, knowledgeable Somm, overall a remarkable experien
Visiting Toronto and trying Alo for the first time.
It's hard to find the entrance since their sister restaurant is two doors down named Aloette. You take the elevator to the second floor and once arrived the staff treats like loyalty. The atmosphere is modern and comfortable. My wife and I both
Very disappointing

My bf and I made reservations for the chef's table for our anniversary. From the moment, we walked in, the service was impeccable. We sat at the bar while we waited to be seated. We started off with a few amuse-bouches. The wagyu with caviar was
Lives up to its Michelin Star
We had the tasting menu and literally every course was as great as the previous one. Amazing balance of flavors and ingredients with beautiful presentations. Easily accommodated my need for gluten-free being Celiac. Service was impeccable from the mo
fine dinning experience.
food is great with concept. sommelier is wonderful................
Immaculate flavours, presentation, and service.
TIP: The door is unmarked, but you can enter Aloette their sister restaurant on the 1st floor and a staff can lead you to the elevators to Alo. My favourite standout dishes was the: -signature Koshihikaru rice dish (almost like a lobster mushroom r
I am not going to go into great detail here.
Frankly this place doesn't need my measly five stars. They have a Michelin star, and well earned at that. The experience is a journey. Heck, even one dish contained a journey! I'm a fairly picky eater, and I enjoyed every dish, right down
Just say no.
No. Just no. You might be tempted but just say no. If you must go, the desserts are the best part and there is a nice selection. But, the desserts are not worth the rest. They work hard at it. You get to see the kitchen. Wait staff are excellen
I enjoyed much
Every bite was tasty and marvelous, had a good time, i will be there on my next holiday with my family members. good experience.
Pleased To Be Able To Try Alo
I expect that Alo can be polarizing in that some people will love this experience, whereas others will find it simply not worth it. I am in the camp of the 'it is not worth it' - at least not for me. But that is not a criticism per se, just
A restaurant that doesn't try too much or be too fancy.
Just high attention to the quality to ingredients and flavours of the dishes. I loved how much variety they fit into the tasting menu. Easily the best restaurant in Toronto.
Not worth the money
While the food is fine and the service great, for the amount that it cost and compared to other lesser expensive restaurants it really didn't stand up. I was very excited to go here but every meal that we had was just good. There was one dish th
Wonderful tasting menu!
Exceptional tasting menu and wine pairing. Would highly recommend the white truffle pasta if it’s offered. Only negative was that I am pescatarian and received a shock when I received pork on my scallops that I only realized it after tasting the
There's a level of service and food creativity that earns their Michelin star.
We did have to wait a few minutes for our table but they brought us glasses of sparkling wine while we waited Service is very professional and knowledgeable as you'd expect. The level of creativity is very high. Lovely to see Michelin levels o

Multiple course tasting menu with attentive service
An evening meal at one of Canada’s best restaurants did not disappoint. Artfully presented, flavourful, freshly prepared food with attentive service.

Must do for foodies!
If you appreciate culinary art and the variety of flavours you should absolutely try to get a booking at Alo. It's not just dinner, it's an experience that I can only compare to visiting a gallery or opera. The service is incredibly attentive but in
Came here for our anniversary and it didn't disappoint.
We had the 6 course tasting menu $120 First course: tuna sashimi. This course was okay. It was served with cream cheese but the sashimi has a little fishy taste. Second course: Foie gras pate - very refreshing with citrus taste. Third course: riso
anticipation not quite met
I had tried to get a reservation to Alo for the longest time, so I was very excited when I managed to secure one. Anticipation built over the week leading up to the visit, but didn't quite match the expectations I had for Canada's best restaurant. T
Good things don't always come to those who wait
I had wanted to visit Alo for some time. Perhaps it would have been better were I still waiting. While overall there's little to fault, there's equally little to praise. The service was praise worthy, though with nearly a one to one ratio of staff
I was lucky to visit this place for my birthday.
I always had hard time securing the spot since their reservations fill up quite quickly! My significant other and I participated in the Dining room tasting menu, which is $225 per person. Upon arrival, you are greeted by a host that will take you up

With all the hype that Alo gets, my expectations were pretty high coming in for a New Year's Eve tasting menu. We were seated in the bar room, which wasn't very spacious, but had a nice moody aura. Though Alo is labelled as a French restaurant, our
You don't want to miss this one
That's for sure a place you don't want to miss! The food is both beautiful and delicious, the service is on point and the restaurant is very cozy. We like going to Michelin awarded places and this one is clearly in the top 3 of the ones we visited
A Very Special Evening
Having eaten at other Aloette Bar, Aloette, and take-out during the pandemic, finally I managed to reserve at the Alo Dining Room. We had the eleven course tasting menu with the nine course wine pairings (2 oz. each). Starting with a warm welcome, we
What an evening to have
A fabulous evening with exciting and delightful food ingredients we had never tasted before. 11 course tasting menu with wine flight. Ben was attentive and so professional, Christopher was an excellent sommelier and if you didn’t like the wine he c
It’s once rated the best restaurant in Canada
I was amazed the first time when I dined here. But the second time I came it’s slight disappointing. Maybe my expectations were too high. Overall it’s a pleasant dining experience. Food is beautifully plated and servers are attentive and very wel

As I recount my latest experience at Alo, I grapple with the final mark: would I still consider them a 9 or a "top pick"? There were dishes that were incredible, but then some that missed the mark. The tasting menu ($225 per person) was off
Nice but not Michellin worthy
Had the tasting menu at the bar. The atmosphere and service were great! Unfortunately, the food did not live to my expectations. Of the 6 courses, loved 3 ( crudo, risotto and scallop dishes). The foie gras tart was bland and dessert tasty but uninsp
Great food but horrible location entrance.
We loved the food! Great presentation and friendly staff. Had the six course menu at the bar room for $120 with wine pairing that was worth the price. Staff gracefully waived the charges for my husband’s wine pairing (with tiny quantities for medic
We went for the $125 pp bar seating 6 course prix fixe.
Ambiance was nice but note that the tables are very small and tight together. Service was good but I have had better at other fine dining establishments. Portions were very small, but I did not come ravenously hungry, so I was satisfied and happy by
Great Service
One of the best restaurants in the area. Totally recommend it. Nice food, nice service, nice view.

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 ambiance w
Terrific! Give them another star.
Went for dinner on Saturday, September 16th, four of us. We ate in the bar, the six course menu for $120, very good value - I've paid much more for the same in other restaurants. The food was excellent - delicious taste combinations, small portions t
We went to Alo tonight and sat at the kitchen table tasting.
Overall, I say their dishes were on point and I did enjoy the evening. If there was only one negative, it would be the wine service. I ordered an old fashion to start the night, then I choose to order a Pinot from burgundy off the menu, instead of

Surprisenly got a reservation - could only get the bar seating and got to try the 6 course meal. Definitely an experience and worth a try! Our waiter was so nice that he got us a free small birthday cake

We got seats at the kitchen counter, and for food nerds like us, it was a major treat to watch the chefs work. We were only seeing the tail end of the preparation that goes into creating such dishes, but that alone was impressive. The care that the c
Connect with users posting reservations for Alo Toronto
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Alo Toronto. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Alo Toronto at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Alo Toronto page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Alo Toronto to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Alo Toronto!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
