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 Plate
2022

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.

The food was good but not impressive. Service was good but not good enough for a fine dining restaurant. A ice bucket was placed at the edge of the window next to my chair. There was not enough space behind me and the window for a person to pass, but a waiter serving the next table still kept taking the bottle from the ice bucket behind me. I am not sure if this is a normal practice for a fine dining restaurant. I just felt uncomfortable for it. He did it like five to six times. His armpit was right above me. And i didnt want the water from the bottle to drop on me or my coat. This was not a very pleasant experience. However, i have to say that the waiter serving our table was very friendly and professional. Overall, it was not a bad dinner at all. The view was fantastic.

I have been to Canoe many times to have the tasting menus. Sadly some of the courses are repeatedly served. And also I don’t like the policy of first come first serve to arrange the table seating.
