Best Contemporary Canadian Restaurants in King East

Very relaxing place for a cocktail and nibbles. Attentive service.

Went for Valentine’s Day and it was amazing. Didn’t feel like the skimped out on portions cause it was a prix fixe menu. Probably one of the better meals I’ve had in my life. We did wine pairings too, it was awesome. Highly recommend.

What can be said about Canoe that hasn’t been said already. Amazing views. Amazing food. Amazing cocktails and wines. Amazing service. Canoe has been one of our favourites over the last few years, in no small part due to Chef Ron’s culinary knowhow and vision. Knowing that today was to be Ron’s last day we had to stop by one more time to partake in some delectable food, delicious beverages, and delightful service. (All from the best seats in the house, on the Chef’s Rail!) Many thanks to Sarah for the service. Thanks to the rest of the FoH team and of course the BoH team, all for taking such great care of us today. And of course, Chef Ron himself for the conversation, and years of wonderful culinary excellence. Chef, you will be missed sir!

The menu for Winterlicious was lovely but because the restaurant was so busy the service was a bit inattentive - our server was very pleasant nevertheless. The Secrette Bar upstairs was a nice surprise - would return there next time - the atmosphere is more conducive to relaxing and I prefer small plates.

Broccolini Salad: The broccolini was likely fresh and lightly dressed, offering a balance of bitterness and crunch. A good start to our meal. Sun choke soup had a rich, nutty flavor with a smooth texture, perfect for warming up. Chicken Pibil a fantastic choice! This traditional Mexican dish would have had tender, slow-cooked chicken infused with smoky, tangy flavors from achiote, taste good.Seabream is a delicate fish with a mild, sweet flavor. If it was prepared well, a crispy skin with a tender, flaky interior. Likely a lighter, refreshing dish to balance the richness of the chicken pibil.Sticky Toffee Pudding,a classic British favorite! The rich, moist sponge soaked in a decadent toffee sauce have been comforting and indulgent.Chocolate Crème Brûlée, the contrast between the crispy caramelized top and the silky chocolate custard beneath sounds divine. It would have provided a satisfying end to the meal with that perfect balance of sweetness and depth from the chocolate.
