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 Plate2022

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 overall experience was massively overpriced. My starter, a salad, had a dressing that was far too sour. It was supposed to include walnuts, but I only found three in the entire dish. The main course, however, was very good. I had the vegetarian option. As for dessert, I ordered a Black Forest cake but instead received something more like ice cream, which wasn’t particularly good and definitely not what I was expecting. On the bright side, the dessert was taken off the bill. The ambiance was excellent, beside the washroom which reminded me of a underground station. The service was good as well.

Great restaurant to go out enjoy a nice ambience. Menu was very good from a Mains and Dessert perspective. The onion soup was to die for. I would have preferred more salad options. The staff was very courteous and pleasant. Overall a great experience.

Well - if this was a baseball game - a grand slam was hit by Canoe. Pre-dinner drink at bar - fun. Sarah our server was exceptional. professional, fabulous, knowledgeable, and easy going. The tasting menu was fabulous. It was the first night it rolled out and the chef and his team absolutely did an amazing job at creating all the different flavors that each course stimulated our palates with...the wine pairing was wonderful. My husband - who was always skeptical of raw oysters, tartar, and poached eggs - stated "wow each of the courses are all amazing"! Chef Roderick came out to our table and as a true leader as we gave the food and service some of the highest praise was so humble and stating "its's a team effort and we do it as a team" . Love that and we believe - we are so much stronger as a team than each individual part. Canoe tasting menu is at a level that is worthy of bragging about. Congrats to all involved!!! We have been fortunate to enjoy a lot of tasting menus along our life path but Canoe and the entire team has a hall of fame tasting menu and wine pairing. What a great culanary journey and if you have the chance - go for it. :)

The food and cocktails were exceptional, but the service was very disappointing. The hostess wasn't even trying to make us feel welcomed.

Great lunch at Canoe today. The excellent new head chef Rod and his team are already putting some new touches to the menu and expanding the range of always delicious choices with some more delicate and lighter tasty fare. Can't wait for the new tasting menu to be released. The service and ambience amazing as always.
