Restaurants near Allan Gardens

Very excellent! High quality and lovely experience! They surprised us with ice cream for our anniversary so that was quite pleasant! Thank you so much!! We will definitely come again!

I can't say enough good things about the experience. It was a quiet night, Service was outstanding. Cocktails to start were beautifully made and delicious, with Pisco being the alcohol of choice for most of their cocktail menu. Had Anticuchos and their Ceviche Mixto for apps, and they were fantastic. Beef medallions cooked perfectly, wonderfully seasoned with an aji verde on the side for dipping. The Ceviche was incredible as well, flavourful and perfect spice level Mains were all magnificent, I had the duck breast which was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The rice pairing with the duck had beautiful texture, flavourful, spicy and rich. Can't wait to go back.

Amazing happy hour menu.lovef the good and drinks.

Amazing drinks, but the matcha tiramisu is a little too sweet.

The restaurant is upstairs in a row home. When you first walk in, there is an small waiting area to sit with two bar sections. The bar in the front of the house is reserved for sushi omakase and the bar in the back of the house is reserved for tempura omakase. Music was composed of light jazz which allowed for silent reflection with each dish while also engaging conversation with company. All ingredients for the meal were imported from Japan. Tempura Omakase was $195 CAD and consists of a 5-pieces sashimi, 7-courses of different Japanese seafood tempura, a fruit aperitif, 4-course vegetable tempura, and a dessert. The tempura came with a choice of 4 sauces - lightly salted dried garlic, matcha salt, kombu salt, and tentsuyu (tempura sauce). The chef will recommend which sauce accompanies the current ingredient. The pairing did not disappoint. As an added bonus, the chef may throw in an extra dish that he is piloting. In my case, he threw in a stuffed shiitake mushroom that was filled with sashimi. Pro-tip: if you pay with cash, you get a 15% discount. (NOTE: Please pay the full amount so that the deserving staff could make a decent living.) Overall impression: I did not know that tempura could be so luxurious and tastes so decadent. This was the epitome of Japanese cuisine - careful thought and attention that maximizes the experience of each ingredient. This experience has changed the way I view tempura. This was aided by how funny and charismatic the chef was. 10/10 experience. I will always come back when visiting Toronto.
