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.

Great atmosphere, incredible menu and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Definitely adding this to my list of top tier restaurants. Food was 10/10. Every ingredient worked harmoniously with each other and you could tell it was carefully created to make an ultimate dining experience. Their non-alcoholic options are next level. Got the virgin espresso martini and it was unique. It took a few sips to get a sense of the flavour profile but it was really good. The staff was great. Our server was very friendly, informative and helpful when going over the menu. He checked in after each dish and made sure we were taken care of. Our reservation was right when they opened for dinner. We had a great view overlooking Toronto and the atmosphere was quiet and quite peaceful. I would gladly dine here again and will recommend it to my friends and family. Thank you to everyone at The Canoe for such a great experience.

Great service by the team and good tasting food. However, we didn't find the ambiance to be very refined or fine dine like. The noise levels were very high throughout the place....

Only negatives were - server never brought us our bread - parts of the lamb were so fatty. You would be eating a chunk of fat - for that price I would expect the server to be on point and the food quality to be better

We brought our daughter to Canoe to celebrate her 13th birthday special. When we arrived, our window side table had a welcoming card addressed to her. For the entire evening they made her feel very special. And of course the service, food and ambience were top notch as always. As for the view – stunning!

Food average at best. Desert was not tasty at all. Wine ok but firmly overpriced. Service was nice, and the view over the city was stunning…. So, if you are looking for a wonderfull location with very nice view over the city and you dont care to much about the food quality, this is the place to go.

I was delighted that Canoe honored my request for a window view on Valentine’s Day. This thoughtful touch truly elevated the experience and made our evening feel special. The food was great—kudos to the chefs and kitchen team for a wonderful meal. That said, the service was decent but not quite as polished as I expected. Additionally, the tables were very close together, which I assume was a temporary setup for the occasion. This made the seating a bit less comfortable than anticipated. Still, I look forward to returning to experience the full menu in a more typical setting. Overall, it was a memorable night and I’d certainly come bacK
