One of the Frank Gehry-designed spaces, AGO Bistro is conveniently located on the first floor with access from Dundas Street. The restaurant is casual chic: modern Danish furnishings are paired with acrylic tabletops in a multitude of vibrant colours. Etched glass and vertical-grain Douglas fir also accent the space. With a dedication to using the best local produce, menus reflect seasonal changes and availability. Ingredients are sourced from the finest suppliers and farms, and are cooked simply to showcase the natural flavours of the food.

    The waiter was very helpful as both I and my guest have dietary restrictions. The wines were a great price with the Prix fix lunch!

    Our host, Alexis, thoughtfully assigned us a perfect table. Our server, Peter, was wonderfully attentive. Our bartender, Stephen, made delicious drinks. Our chef, Josh, created a scrumptious meal. Thank you!

    Shared a green salad with grilled salmon, and augmented it with an order of the AGO Bistro's always great french fries with aoili. For dessert, Rebecca our fantastic waitress suggested a panna cotta made from coconut and a purple tuber (Ubé?), which was like a rich rice pudding without the rice. Great lunch, great service!

    Recently had brunch to celebrate our 1st anniversary with our cousin. It's not our first visit to the Bistro. We live nearby and have been in numerous time on our own or with friends and family. The reason: The food is always excellent, delicious and great value for the money. Today, our waiter, including the trainee wait staff he was supervising, was beyond excellent, friendly and helpful. He put up with my attention-seeking husband and put up with his joking banter. Kudos to him for handling it with professional aplomb. He is a great asset. Your bartender Stephen also deserves high praise. My husband is picky about his martinis. He is constantly annoyed to order a lime twist only to receive a lemon slice or to ask that it be served with a small amount of ice in a rocks glass only to receive it in a wine glass with tons of ice... that kind of thing. Stephen nailed it on the first try, plus he was very knowledgeable. When I mentioned my enjoyment of The Last Word cocktail, he suggested I might wish to try the Verdant Lady. We did - it was wonderful! It was lovely afternoon. Thank you to everyone for making our day.
