Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Financial District

The food was absolutely delicious! We had the gnocchi and the truffle risotto, both of which were incredible. The cocktails were equally impressive— I tried the Frou Frou and my friend had the Frenchy 75. We both loved them. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

I like that underground parking is connected to the restaurant so we didn’t have to step outside in the freezing cold.

I dined solo at this restaurant, and my server, Ray, was an absolute ray of sunshine. She was incredibly sweet and went out of her way to keep me company and check on me, even though she had a full section to manage. The service was impeccable. As for the food, it was decent, though not extraordinary; I’d describe it as "pretty average." That said, I’d still recommend giving it a try at least once. The restaurant itself is charming, and super cute. I don’t think I would return for the food itself but I love the service there and will return for their service. Thank you for making my little visit to Toronto a little more exciting!

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 ❤️

Went to Bar Goa for lunch the food was incredible and Avi our server was very informative and attentive. He appreciated feedback and from his reactions he was very happy that we enjoyed the food so much. The servings are easily shareable for the main courses. The restaurant is fantastic and can see why that it received its Michelin Guide and I would say soon to get a star.
