• Bistro • Entertainment District
Booked 27 times today
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 burger 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 kind of a bistro, kind of a diner, internationally inspired menu which is also representative of the diverse culture in Toronto.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 are a family of four and came in for a late lunch. It was surprisingly quiet with only one other table occupied in the dining room. This might be because it was March Break. We couldn’t see the bowling or arcade action from the dining room. In any case, we enjoyed the food and the service was attentive and friendly. We enjoyed the tuna poke, national burger, dry ribs and fries. Note it is happy hour from 2-5pm so a few items are half price which is great. Our kids played in the arcade while we sat in the bowling area which is more fun and casual which some large couches set up by TVs. We felt it would have been better to sit in that area for our meal - now we know for next time! Bowling is $120/hour which is really expensive compared to other bowling alleys so we opted out. They do offer half price bowling on weekends for brunch so that’s something we might consider for next time! All in all, we enjoyed the visit and would recommend especially if you can go during one of their happy hours or half price bowling times.

    Food and cocktails were delicious, you could tell the food is made with quality ingredients. Our server was lovely, attentive and knowledgeable. We went on a Monday evening so it was quiet. The ambience is cozy but elegant. Only thing to note was our entrees came out at different times so my friend was waiting for my entree to come out for a while so we could eat together. Great night overall !
