Aloette Restaurant

We have been here multiple times but this was our first time sitting on the patio. It was a nice change of environment - more quiet and brighter. Of course there were people walking by but they were not bothersome. There were also some newer items on the menu, one of these being the sea bream. We were very impressed! The corn sauce was great and the sea bream was cooked well. We have tried most of their menu before and this is now our new favourite dish. The classics including the wedge salad (must order) and burger were consistently delicious.

After hearing so many rave reviews about it, I wanted to try the burger. I visited on a random weekend night. The wedge salad was delicious, and I loved the textures and flavours. The fried chicken was okay; it was well-seasoned but not very juicy. The lamb skewer was mediocre and not particularly memorable. Now the burger was good, but I was disappointed. I wouldn’t rank it among the best burgers I’ve ever had in the city, definitely not in the top 5 in Toronto. The lemon meringue pie was also unremarkable. On the positive side, the service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was interesting, featuring an upscale retro diner vibe.

Generally liked some of the dishes here. We started with the octopus carpaccio which had chili oil that tasted exactly like lao gan ma. That chili oil is relatively affordable, so didn’t feel like the flavor belonged at this restaurant. Then a few other meat dishes like the crudo and beef tartare. Tartare may be my favorite for the evening. Well seasoned with the right amount of acidity. Crudo was okay? Also found it weird that it was 3 pieces for over 20$, small portion and made it weird for sharing. Then we had the lobster, which was a bit overcooked. Lobster came with clams and mussels which were very flavorful. Baguette was too dry. The lamb skewer was another favorite, it was the most tender lamb I’ve had, though some parts were too salty. We finished with the popular lemon meringue pie. I love lemon flavored things so this was a sweet ending to the dinner! The meringue was too sweet for me, overpowering the lemon, but if you have a sweet tooth you will really enjoy this one.

I had an incredible experience at Aloette! The food was outstanding from start to finish — I tried the beef tartare, tuna tartare, black truffle burger, and fried chicken, and everything was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The presentation and attention to detail really stood out. The service was excellent too — friendly, attentive, and professional without being overbearing. The whole experience felt special from the moment I walked in. I’ll definitely be coming back soon — highly recommend Aloette to anyone looking for an exceptional meal in Toronto!

Very elegantly appointed restaurant. Reservations are encouraged. Service was attentive, but slow. Expect to spend at minimum 1 hour. I ordered a medium well burger and received well done. You may want to order down a notch from your usual.
