Avelo Restaurant is located in a heritage townhouse on a quiet street in Yorkville and serves some of the city's finest plant-based cuisine. Our aim is to deliver an extraordinary and immersive dining experience where the servers guide guests through an exploration of many small plates highlighting seasonal ingredients while offering insight into each dish. We also offer an optional wine pairing and are able to accommodate many dietary restrictions with advance notice.

Avelo hosts two dinner seatings per evening where guests choose between the 5-course or the 8-course* tasting menu. The seating times are 5-6:15pm and 7:45-8:30pm.

Prices:
5-course:
$70/person Wed, Thu, Sun
$85/person Fri-Sat

8-course*:
$115/person Wed, Thu, Sun
$135/person Fri-Sat

For a more casual plant-based experience, see our other concept, Bar Avelo, which focuses on cocktails, and offers an a la carte Tapas menu.

*The 8 course meal is only available during our second seating time from 7:45-8:30pm

    A great tasting menu! With very innovative vegan dishes with unique ingredients. We were there to celebrate my husband's birthday and received a nice little surprise for dessert.

    The service was impeccable! So friendly! They served us very promptly and explained each dish with the upmost care and attention. The restaurant is so cozy and beautiful, especially the upstairs bar (definitely something to book for next time). The food was delicious and so unique! I would love to come regularly to experience the changes to the menu! The set menu had a nice flow to it and we were left amazed how creative vegan cuisine can be. We especially loved the appetizer consisting of buttery croissant and split pea dip that was plated like a cute miniature garden. Overall I loved my meal at Avelo and I can’t wait to come back!

    Avelo offers an 8-course tasting menu that was fully plant-based and “wow” it did not disappoint. When looking at the main ingredients of each dish it was nearly impossible to I vision how it was going to be prepared and transformed. The dishes offered such diverse flavor profiles that truly transformed the original ingredients. There were dishes that had ingredients that I have always been opposed to but due to the creativity and innovation of the chef they ended up being some of our favorite dishes. The atmosphere was well relaxed, dim lighting, and lovely music. The waitress offered so much information per each dish which I always appreciated. Having the 8 dish tasting was much more filling than I anticipated as well. Overall, it was worth coming from upstate NY to spend a night in Toronto and dine with Avelo.

    Amazing experience and food, just a little pricey. We were filled up despite opting for the 5 course option.
