About this restaurant

Fancy
Good for special occasions
Great for scenic views

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 Plate2022

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.

As always great service, wonderful food and unparalleled views. Such a luxurious place. Sitting in the bar area at the high bar table facing the lake drinking lovely wine- it doesn’t get any better than that. I also like that we are not obliged to order food. It is of course not cheap but on the other hand considering the prices of any meal these days, it’s a splurge that’s worthwhile.

From the moment of arrival the service and attentiveness is outstanding. We were even 30 minutes early and our table was already available. The food is meticulously prepared and the servers ensure you understand each of the components and how they have been carefully prepared for you. Everything was smooth well timed and never intrusive. Such a perfect evening for us to just enjoy.

First our reservation was handled well, we were a little late, but did call to advise of the situation. Waiter took his time coming to us. We ordered the tasting menu for the table. The first two course were ok, the oyster, could would not know it was an oyster except for the shell. The soup, served in a raw acorn squash, interesting. The soup was wonderful, next camp the chicken wing, which was ok the sauce was the best thing. Next lobster, which was tough and stringy and had no taste. The veal was next it was raw and we had to send it back, the new veal was tough and still under cooked. Not great at all. carrot cake was so small you could not find it under the mountain of carrot foam. The servers did not have a full grasp of the dishes they were presenting and when asked questions they looked confused. To top all this off you are not given a choice as to the level of tip you wish to give, a 20% is the first choice you have. I have been to Canoe many times, I have even held private parties there. To say the least I will not be back any time soon. One of the chefs came out of the kitchen to serve a couple seated at the kitchen and he was to say the least messy and looked like a short order cook in a diner. Nothing wrong with short order cooks in a diner love that food. But when you are paying the kind of prices Canoe sets I think you need a bit more. I think it needs an overhaul to bring it back to where the prices are. thanks

We were at the bar and only ate 'bar bites' so the food was simpler. They did, however, offer that we could order from the main menu which we did for dessert. Fabulous view, very pleasant indoor atmosphere with attentive service. (Have previously eaten in the dining room and had one of the best sea bass dishes ever). We have been before and will definitely go back.
