Alder’s kitchen is centered around its wood-fired grill and hearth. For the menu, Chef Patrick Kriss of the award-winning and nationally acclaimed Alo Food Group draws inspiration from traditions and techniques long-practiced in and around the Mediterranean – spanning Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Tunisia and Morocco. Whether you’re flying solo with an Alder Burger and a beer, gathering friends for small plates and cocktails, or diving into a feast of prime meats and fresh seafood, we’ve got you covered.

Awarded a spot on the Toronto Michelin Guide for 2023 and 2024, Alder is a warm and comfortable place to be, like just the right distance from a bonfire.

Alder is located in The Ace Hotel just a short walk away from most theatres, museums, Rogers Centre & Scotiabank Arena. The perfect cozy setting to begin your evening, with a diverse menu and genuine service team to make it a memorable one.

Serving brunch on Saturday & Sunday, come try our new menu!

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Moto Nishimura / Patrick Kriss

From the OpenTable editors: The neatly stacked wood tucked beneath the entrance stairs at Alder signals the restaurant’s focus on wood-fired flavors. Dishes like grilled halloumi and short rib are inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, but it's the fire that truly shapes the menu. Helmed by chef Patrick Kriss, plates are simple yet masterful, reflecting the signature style of his celebrated Alo Group.

    We had an outstanding experience at Alder. My family had been trying to make the trip for some time and the anticipation only made our meal that much sweeter. Tiffany was very attentive and so lovely! She had great recommendations and personalized the experience in a really memorable way for all of us. Exceptional food and wine, and really fantastic service from the whole team — we did not want for anything. Thank you all very much!

    Avoid going there to celebrate anything they will do a very poor job at that . Management lacks training in handling customer complaints and making things right.

    Fantastic as always. Been here twice now on every Christmas day. The food never disappoints and neither do the drinks or desserts. The staff is friendly and the place is a vibe!

    The food was really good. My friends and I enjoyed our meals. The lighting was bad so we couldn’t get good pictures. Our service lady was really friendly and jovial. Our table was properly served. Thank you, Alder!

    Beautiful Christmas dinner and excellent service. The turkey was simply incredible and our server helped pick out a great bottle of wine. Such lovely staff. The team really works well together and every person who came to our table or helped out was friendly and professional.
