Alder’s kitchen is centered around its wood-fired grill and hearth. For the menu, Chef Patrick Kriss of the award-winning and nationally acclaimed Alo Food Group draws inspiration from traditions and techniques long-practiced in and around the Mediterranean – spanning Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Tunisia and Morocco. Whether you’re flying solo with an Alder Burger and a beer, gathering friends for small plates and cocktails, or diving into a feast of prime meats and fresh seafood, we’ve got you covered.

Awarded a spot on the Toronto Michelin Guide for 2023 and 2024, Alder is a warm and comfortable place to be, like just the right distance from a bonfire.

Alder is located in The Ace Hotel just a short walk away from most theatres, museums, Rogers Centre & Scotiabank Arena. The perfect cozy setting to begin your evening, with a diverse menu and genuine service team to make it a memorable one.

Serving brunch on Saturday & Sunday, come try our new menu!

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Moto Nishimura / Patrick Kriss

From the OpenTable editors: The neatly stacked wood tucked beneath the entrance stairs at Alder signals the restaurant’s focus on wood-fired flavors. Dishes like grilled halloumi and short rib are inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, but it's the fire that truly shapes the menu. Helmed by chef Patrick Kriss, plates are simple yet masterful, reflecting the signature style of his celebrated Alo Group.

    I wish the music was a bit lower and calmer! But everything else was fantastic! The gem salad is to die for and the breakfast potatoes were the best ones I’ve ever had in a restaurant. Overall 10/10

    We went there as a family to celebrate 2 birthdays. We shared several small plates, plus 3 larger ones. Shared all three desserts. Service was exceptionally attentive but not intrusive. We were all very happy with our restaurant choice.

    Hi Linda, Thank you for the lovely review! We are glad that you chose to celebrate your 2 birthdays with us at Alder and we look forward to hosting you again soon.
