Opened in 2017. Michelin-recommended since 2022.We first imagined Aloette to be the perfect diner that we’d want to dine in – a menu with a great cheeseburger paired with a fantastic and fun wine list, a long row of bar stools facing the bar and the kitchen, and an energetic atmosphere accented with an old school hip hop playlist. The buzz of the dining room mirrors the energy of the street on Spadina Avenue; the dining room itself mimics a train’s dining car. It’s a bistro-meets-diner-meets-internationally-inspired menu which is also representative of the diverse culture in Toronto. Our service team is upbeat and genuine but also deeply knowledgeable about the menu and offerings. Brunch at Aloette was something we said we’d never do. But the city kept asking and we’re glad to be a new staple in the Queen West neighbourhood for mimosas, chicken and waffles, and piping hot coffees. We hope you love our little diner as much as we and our team do. Patrick Kriss & Zane Pearl

The staff at Mexhico made our special event wonderful! We had a large group of 12 and they were very accommodating and helpful. The food was great, especially the fresh guacamole and tacos! They had live music and really put lots of thought into the details of the celebration. I will say it is an eclectic experience with loud music so be prepared for this vibe. Overall, everyone had a great time and I would highly recommend Mexhico for your special events :)

Shared a green salad with grilled salmon, and augmented it with an order of the AGO Bistro's always great french fries with aoili. For dessert, Rebecca our fantastic waitress suggested a panna cotta made from coconut and a purple tuber (Ubé?), which was like a rich rice pudding without the rice. Great lunch, great service!

Dined on Nov 13, 2024
We arrived at Pearson Airport at 10:00 PM and had a 10:30 reservation for dinner. We felt extremely lucky to be able to find a restaurant willing to take a 10:30 reservation. We ordered our food and drinks quickly and our orders came quickly as well. We ate but did not feel rushed. I had the grilled octopus and truffle cassava frita. The octopus was pretty pricy at $33 but was very tasty and the sauce was phenomenal. The fried cassava was pretty dense and cut pretty thick. I would have preferred if the pieces were a bit smaller. They were a bit on the bland side but dipped in the sauce, they were quite tasty.
