About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Great for creative cocktails
Alobar Yorkville is tucked along a pathway in Toronto’s Yorkville neighbourhood. It puts its foot forward as a cocktail bar, but it is a full-fledged Michelin recommended à la carte restaurant, offering choice seafood with the finest accoutrements, fish and chops off of the charcoal grill, and world-class wines, all served with genuine hospitality. Alobar Yorkville boasts a comfortable courtyard patio merging warm skies with ice cold cocktails during the summer.

Alobar Yorkville's menu pairs french cooking techniques with international ingredients and prime steak and proteins cooked on our charcoal grill.

    Staff were superb! Striploin was 10/10! apps (wagyu and hamachi) - quite satisfied with it however, we waited for a long tjme and it was served at not the right temperature - its as if it was left at the counter for a while. They made up for that mishap by giving us cocktails at the end of service which was a nice touch but would have been better if they fired it up again and made the temperature right especially for that price tag.

    great food, great service! Their AAA tenderloin was nothing short of extraordinary—perfectly seared on the outside, meltingly tender on the inside, and bursting with rich, savory flavor. It was, without a doubt, one of the finest cuts of meat I've ever had the pleasure of tasting, rivaling even the most acclaimed steakhouses..

    Great service, very loud atmosphere , food was good, but overpriced. They need to turn down the music so guests don’t have to raise their voices to have a conversation. We were disappointed given the hype for this restaurant. Won’t be back.

    I was disappointed with the food. When we got to the restaurant, the waiter said that we had to wait 40 minutes for the main course, which was beef tenderloin. We proceeded to order appetizers and my friend got a Caesar salad with parmesan cheese that was overflowing on the plate with bites of bacon that were greasy and unappetizing. My friend did not like the salad but I did enjoy the dressing and the hearts of lettuce. We ordered the tenderloin steaks and we had to send it back to get re-heated. The waiter was kind enough to bring out a new basket of french fries with the heated up steak. I ordered an appetizer with caviar and fish and that was amazing, very tasty and different. Great flavours. The music was much too loud. I have been to many Michelin Star restaurants, but Alobar does not meet the standards I was expecting. The service was excellent!
