Critically acclaimed to be among Canada’s best restaurants, Canoe's unique location high atop the TD Bank Tower affords a breathtaking view of the city and Lake Ontario. The design, originally conceptualized by noted designers Yabu Pushelberg and most recently refreshed by Solid Design Creative, is clean and simple, yet absolutely stylish - a brilliant reflection of Canada's rich raw environment. That same brilliance is captured through the flavours and textures of Chef Ron McKinlay’s inspired regional Canadian cuisine.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Ron McKinlay

MICHELIN Plate
2022

From the OpenTable editors: Jaw-dropping city views from wrap-around, floor-to-ceiling windows are what first draw diners to Canoe, but exceptional dishes that celebrate Canada’s homegrown cuisine have kept them coming back for nearly 30 years. Stylish, Canadiana-inspired decor and a stellar tasting menu make this one of Toronto’s ultimate special-occasion spots.

We were disappointed last night at Canoe. The Waldorf salad was very plain and not very favourful and the pomme frites were way too salty. The lamb and short ribs were good but not worth the money you pay.

I introduced my friend to the various O&B restaurants and we were booked for Maison Selby on Monday but then I got an email about Canoe. I told him about the Christmas Eve lunch. The staff called to confirm and I told them this is his first visit. They came through and had us seated at the table facing the CN Tower. The food was phenomenal as it always is. I had the onion soup and it blew my mind. I am not a soup person but seeing Parmesan custard in the description peaked my curiosity. On the surface a pureed soup but it looked like art with the green oil drizzle and black pepper delicately grounded and sprinkled. Below the surface were the caramelized onions and parmesan custard. Ohhh the flavour sensations having a party on my tastebuds! He had the Waldorf and said it was delicious. We both had the beef Wellington. So tender and flavourful and that was just the meat! I actually did the foodie happy dance in my chair nom nom nomming! The roasted veggies, deep fried kale and mashed potatoes were lovely. To be honest they weren’t hot but I wasn’t going to ruin the dining experience by saying anything. I thought the pastry was perfect, mine fell open in two layers. He would have liked his to be flakier on the outside layer. He had the sticky toffee pudding and absolutely loved it. I had the white chocolate cheesecake with the pistachio crème anglaise and raspberry sorbet & I loved it. The flavours and textures were my vibe! I tried two mocktails. I loved the ambrosia! The flavour combos were amazing! Then I tried the gala. The drink itself was underwhelming compared to the first but its saving grace was the fruit. I asked our lovely server and she said maraschino cherries. No way! Not the ones you get on top of sundaes. Way better! They were the star of that drink along with the really cool rectangular ice cube! Lovely seeing Oscar from our Maison Selby days. Told him the venue switch story for lunch and he was the 4th staff to say: Really? Love it! O&B ❤️

This was my first time dining here and it was an amazing dining experience, even if pricey (but quality was worth it). Staff are friendly and professional - the food was sublime and the sommelier was very helpful. And the snow storm cleared up just in time to see the amazing views. Beautiful ambiance and good noise level. They also accommodated my teen to order from the lunch menu w steak frites. Perfect special occasion dining place!

The food was good but not impressive. Service was good but not good enough for a fine dining restaurant. A ice bucket was placed at the edge of the window next to my chair. There was not enough space behind me and the window for a person to pass, but a waiter serving the next table still kept taking the bottle from the ice bucket behind me. I am not sure if this is a normal practice for a fine dining restaurant. I just felt uncomfortable for it. He did it like five to six times. His armpit was right above me. And i didnt want the water from the bottle to drop on me or my coat. This was not a very pleasant experience. However, i have to say that the waiter serving our table was very friendly and professional. Overall, it was not a bad dinner at all. The view was fantastic.
