About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for business meals
Alobar Yorkville is tucked along a pathway in Toronto’s Yorkville neighbourhood. It puts its foot forward as a cocktail bar, but it is a full-fledged Michelin recommended à la carte restaurant, offering choice seafood with the finest accoutrements, fish and chops off of the charcoal grill, and world-class wines, all served with genuine hospitality. Alobar Yorkville boasts a comfortable courtyard patio merging warm skies with ice cold cocktails during the summer.

Alobar Yorkville's menu pairs french cooking techniques with international ingredients and prime steak and proteins cooked on our charcoal grill.

From the OpenTable editors: As its name suggests, Alobar excels in the drinks department, offering standout cocktails and a well-curated wine list. As the laid-back sister spot to the renowned tasting menu restaurant Alo, Alobar shares the same passion for local ingredients and borderless culinary inspirations. Chef Patrick Kriss brings a relaxed take on fine dining to dishes like confit duck pappardelle and torched hamachi.

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOOD is OUTSTANDING MENU is EXCITING and offers something for everyone! Ambiance is INVITING & COZY Seating is very COMFORTABLE In MY OPINION none of this really matters without GREAT SERVICE …. From the moment we walked in, to the time we left, the WHOLE STAFF were extremely ATTENTIVE!!(but not over attentive) KEN was an AMAZING server…he and his CREW were EXCEPTIONAL!! They managed to ELEVATED the establishments already spectacular reputation to the NEXT LEVEL!!! LAST but not LEAST… An important critique,which I feel is often left out… THE RESTROOMS.. They were EXTREMELY CLEAN, private and fully “stocked “!! WE ORDERD: WAYGU TATAKI 10/10 CHILLED LOBSTER 8/10 (Felt amount of nori overpowered the dish.. just my opinion) WEDEGE SALAD 10/10 BROCCOLINI 9.5/10 BRUSSELS SPROUTS 11/10 (Soft in texture with a perfect balance of sweet and spicy) PRIME STRIPLOIN 12/10 Cooked to a superb rare.. MELTED in our mouths. LAST BUT NOT LEAST BANANA CREAM PIE 15/10 If this aligns with your taste profile you will not be disappointed and will return for this delectable indulgence!!

    Exceptional, friendly and unpretentious service. Perfectly paced meal. Food was delicious. Cocktails very tasty. If I had one small critique was that the scallops tasted a tad fishier than expected and the frites were over fried. It's Yorkville and fine dining so it's a pricier meal out. Plates are priced and sized for sharing. Will return.

    We love this place. The wait staff are superlative...attentive, thoughtful, proactive, remembering your likes/dislikes. It is very unusual. We go to a lot of great restaurants, but I feel the service here cannot be beat. The food is consistently excellent and they are very accommodating for allergies. We were staying in the area for a week and went there three times!
