Restaurants near University Apartment

Living in a city with an excess of excellent dining options and food in general, it is a very rare occasion that my partner and I visit the same place twice, let alone over and over, like we do with Aloette. Without fail the service is always perfect in a natural, comfortable and non-formalistic or overbearing way. Such service is not teachable - they have done an excellent job selecting their people. With respect to the food, it is always excellent, and if not excellent, very good. Having dined at Aloette since ~2020, there have been some more experimental dishes that we perhaps would not order again. That said, the permanent menu items, which seem to include the Aloette Burger, a crudo option, a tartare option, wedge salad, a protein option (i.e., steak), are always 10/10. The culmination of the ambience, service, and reliably excellent food has always facilitated the making of happy memories with loved ones. That's a rare thing.

This is our 3rd time at R&D as we absolutely love the experience and the food. We always sit at the Chef’s Rail and enjoy watching the chefs at work. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. We will always come back.

Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. Thank you so much!

Really good experience, the servers are prepared to explain the menu so u could have a better idea what you expect.

What a fantastic meal! The food was incredible, my cocktail was delicious, and the service was phenomenal. The staff are super knowledgeable about all the dishes and made excellent recommendations. Everything had wonderful layers of flavour and we were surprised when our favourite turned out to be the orange chicken. Such a simple dish but with an amazing sauce and super crispy chicken. I can’t wait to come back!
