Best Casual Restaurants in Rosedale / Summerhill

This is my wife’s favourite restaurant in the GTA. It’s one of the only places we’ve been to in years where the food, service, cleanliness, and ambiance are perfect every time. We usually get a chicken tawook, some garlic labneh, some rice, some veggie skewers, and occasionally hummus or makanek if I’m feeling extra hungry. The lamb shank is also excellent. It’s nice to see an actual dining room manager floating around keeping an eye on dinner service without being overbearing. That’s an art in itself. We don’t really drink but we always get sparkling water and the type they carry is deliciously sharp. I’ve only had their sticky toffee pudding as far as the desserts go, but it was very good! Really nice ice cream that certainly tastes homemade to me. We’ll keep coming back if they keep it up like this!

Thank you James and co for making this a wonderful experience especially for a first timer! We’ll definitely be back soon

Nothing but good things to say! Ambience, food, service impeccable as always! Thank you to all the staff!

Everything was amazing and the service exceptional. We could see every details had been thought carefully, and we loved the little attentions and extra care from the staff to make our experience at Alo exceptional and personalized. It was just perfect!

Incredible value for the New Year’s Day brunch - $68 for a welcome drink, and 2 courses. The servers were friendly and very knowledgeable, able to make many accusations for a gluten free diet and even a non alcoholic drink (that wasn’t just juice). It’s also a huge space which makes it feel relaxing as you’re not yelling to speak and don’t have to be right next to other customers.
