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.

Pretty good overall with very intricate dishes with diversity in flavour. The scallop broth was stunning. Felt like the lamb needed a touch more acidity for more cohesion. The prices were reasonable for portion sizes and I had a fun time.

Canoe celebrates the Canadian food experience with locally and Canadian-sourced choices expressed in a True North manner. Our Taste Canoe featured smoked oyster and venison, fois gras-cured lamb, butternut-sweet potato-anise soup (surprise!), sturgeon and shrimp tortellini, lobster, veal, Granny Smith apple-verjus (delightful palette freshener), carrot cake-ice cream-maple syrup-black garlic, petit fours. The pairings were spot on, and discussions with our somm (I didn't get the spelling of his name, but it's pronounced U Gee) indicate an adventurous take on the meal. Our server extraordinaire, David, delivered a superb performance (ask him about his love of hockey). The staff are passionate about what they do and it shows in their presentation of the courses. Our table's clear view of the lake and downtown made our anniversary extra special. With views like these, it's like dining in an art gallery. We'll return again next year!

We chose to do the tasting menu to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We loved everything about the tasting menu except for the preserved pines & carrot cake, they were a little sour for our tastes in dessert. The scenery was gorgeous plus the service was absolutely fabulous! We lost our number tags for coat check and they told us to not sweat it. Thank you for making my husband’s 30th birthday a happy memory!

Love Canoe. It is our go to for any special occasion and it never disappoints. I wish they would bring the halibut back though. It was truly the best.

We have dined at Canoe several times before, but hadn't been in a while. As always, the food was beautifully presented and delicious, the service was top notch, and the ambience/view was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and we will definitely be back!
