Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Little Portugal / Dundas West

Perfect date night! Stelvio has it all: great food (and it’s really difficult to find italian authenticity in Toronto!) romantic atmosphere, very friendly staff! Me and my boyfriend had an amazing dinner, 100% recommend!

The reason I chose Aera because I heard this restaurant offers an unbeatable view of the CN Tower. The atmosphere is cozy and the service was exceptional—attentive and friendly. Despite the weather, the experience was memorable, and the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy great views and top-notch service!

We had a reservation on a Saturday morning and were seated immediately. Our food was fresh and flavorful. The holiday drinks were cute and tasty. Unfortunately, we were sat near the patio where they kept opening the door to tend to the customers outside making us cold. Had we been asked if we had a preference on where to sit I would have given them 5 stars in every category.

We had an incredible experience at Maximes From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, making us feel right at home. The food was absolutely phenomenal—every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. I highly recommend the beef tartare, the burrata, the sea bass was a perfect blend of flavor. The dessert menu was equally impressive, with the tiramisu being a true standout. The attention to detail, both in the service and the food, was truly top-notch. This is easily one of the best dining experiences we have had in a long time. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. Our server/bartender Driss Amir was outstanding D’j was Incredible Highly recommended!"

First time being at Aleria and we initially thought it's a snack/dessert and drinks holiday themed place. But now that we know it's a restaurant, we will be definitely skip Christmas cooking and come to Aleria for a full lunch or dinner experience next year! All the drinks and the desserts we ordered were very yummy and the service was 20 out of 10!!!!! I loved the birthday surprise!
