Best Fun Restaurants in High Park

Simply put, Alma is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. Anywhere. Staff is fantastic, ambience relaxed, romantic - in a word, perfect - and the food is consistently inventive and championship level. When we go, we choose the “Trust Alma” option on the menu, and we’ve always been lost for superlatives to describe each dish. A true gem!!

Exceptional and friendly service in a fun and energetic environment. Love how the kitchen is open concept but not noisy at all. Aesthetic is clean lines and modern.

Service was incredible. Michelle was attentive and thorough, kind and welcoming. We loved the halibut with the creamed leeks, as well as the lemon posset for dessert. Overall it was a perfect meal with perfect drinks. We will definitely be back.

The service and ambiance was great. Notable dishes were the challah and fluke and fennel. The fries were perfectly crispy and the broccoli was very flavourful. However, the ribeye was average, it lacked flavour but cooked properly yo medium rare.

I love Burdock, the beers are so great and the space itself wonderful. The service was really lackluster, a trend I'm seeing throughout the city these days unfortunately (but maybe understandably) - no enthusiasm, not consistent, not checking in if the food is good or if we have everything, a general "oh yeah you're still here" vibe. Not something I've experienced at Burdock before and was really excited to show my friend from out of town. Overall a fine, just fine, experience.
