Critically acclaimed to be among Canada’s best restaurants, Canoe's unique location high atop the TD Bank Tower affords a breathtaking view of the city and Lake Ontario. The design, originally conceptualized by noted designers Yabu Pushelberg and most recently refreshed by Solid Design Creative, is clean and simple, yet absolutely stylish - a brilliant reflection of Canada's rich raw environment. That same brilliance is captured through the flavours and textures of Chef Ron McKinlay’s inspired regional Canadian cuisine.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Ron McKinlay

MICHELIN Plate2022

From the OpenTable editors: Jaw-dropping city views from wrap-around, floor-to-ceiling windows are what first draw diners to Canoe, but exceptional dishes that celebrate Canada’s homegrown cuisine have kept them coming back for nearly 30 years. Stylish, Canadiana-inspired decor and a stellar tasting menu make this one of Toronto’s ultimate special-occasion spots.

As always, incredible experience. Food was perfect drinks were amazing. Only downside I experienced (from all visits) was unfortunately the serving bringing our appetizer spilt some on my lap (thankfully had a cloth covering my pants) but accidents do happen. Regardless always an amazing meal.

Muy atenta y cordial atención, desde la puerta de entrada y durante todo el almuerzo. Excelente vista de la ciudad. Comida excelente, bien preparada y servida perfectamente, en un tiempo razonable. Ayuda y buena disposición en todo momento, incluso procurando una persona parlante en nuestro mismo idioma. Buenas sugerencias de platos y postres, ago como vino. Totalmente recomendable. Volveremos, seguramente, nada vez que visitemos Toronto.

I made reservations for dinner at Canoe with my dad during our trip to Toronto, and it was truly an exceptional experience. We ordered the tasting menu, along with a round of cocktails and a glass of wine each. Every dish was a work of art, and we left in agreement that this was a top-ten restaurant experience for both of us.

Always a pleasure to go back to Canoe, on the Chef’s Rail with a great view of the kitchen and the staff hard at work. The tasting menu and wine pairing were excellent, with last minute tweaks to make me happy. Will definitely visit again

Honestly it was really disappointing. I’ve been a few times, mind you the last time was a few years back. I remember the French onion soup was amazing and they’ve completely changed and butchered it. The food portions left a lot to the imagination and the service… the waiter was nice but I had mentioned it was so a very special celebration and all that happened was a comment of ‘congrats’. We would have gladly stayed for desert but were completely off put. Nearly $400 for two people and I regret every dollar spent.
