About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Innovative
At Quetzal, we celebrate regional Mexican cuisine, inspired by traditional flavours and cooking styles, all cooked over a 28 foot-long open fire that runs the span of the hot line.  Traditional moles, sauces and little-known native ingredients are transported to Toronto and infused with the bounty of local Ontario and Canadian produce, for a one-of-a-kind dining experience. Quetzal is located at the corner of College & Bathurst, at the edges of four Toronto hotspot neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Kensington Market, Harbord Village, and the Annex.

From the OpenTable editors: Fire-kissed flavours from a wood-burning grill and lesser-seen Mexican dishes that go beyond tacos and tostadas earned Quetzal a MICHELIN star. A creative cocktail menu centred on tequila and mezcal, plus a curvy, eye-catching ceiling that channels a Mexican market, complete the restaurant’s ultra-cool vibe.

    Incredible balance of flavour. Drinks could have been more original and thought through. Food absolutely OUTSTANDING. Balance of flavours, presentation is Michelin star. Service could be better, as was the seating. Explanation of dish, would have be nice to been audible and not pressured speech. At times wait staff was difficult to getting attention. Go for food and the experience, it's a casual dining experience, more of a dress down. Suggestions - better tequila list, one you have is basic, but does go well with drinks. Make a signature drink for your restaurant.

    It was such a great experience. The food was amazing, full of flavor and really authentic. The vibe of the place was super lively, with a fun, warm atmosphere that made everything feel special. The service was on point, too. really friendly and attentive without being overbearing. I loved the whole experience and will definitely be coming back for more!

    After living in NYC for 6 years and dining at a lot of Michelin restaurants around the world, Quetzal is still our favorite. It's such a treat when we go come home and can have dinner with friends and family here. Perfect night.
