Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Chinatown / Kensington Market

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 :)

Smoque n bones is our favourite restaurant. The quality and taste of the food the service is consistently excellent. Thank you to Alex and Javier for a beautiful evening.

We went to Alobar for dinner right after our wedding. Everyone loved the food and remarked that the striploin steak and lobster were the best they’ve ever had. I thought the broccolini was the real scene stealer. The ambience was lovely, perfect for the occasion, and the noise level was moderate. The folks waiting us were friendly and overall we had a lovely night.

Aera is one of my favourite restaurants to celebrate anything. It was my boyfriend’s birthday and I brought him to celebrate. The food is AMAZING! I ordered the rigatoni and he ordered the stuffed chicken with a side of mash potatoes. The portions are amazing you will definitely leave feeling full! The restaurant has a stunning view over the city, and it is an amazing place to take cute photos. Staff is really sweet, and definitely makes you feel welcomed. The prices are reasonable and you won’t break the bank to eat luxury.

Great experience at Tacotaco! Our table was ready to go when we came even when it was busy, the staff were wonderful throughout, constantly checking in on us and providing suggestions as it was our first time there. Food was AMAZING - specifically the beef birria and jerk chicken tacos as well as the jalapeno poppers. Will definitely be back, good to know they have a happy hour!
