At Quetzal, we celebrate regional Mexican cuisine, inspired by traditional flavours and cooking styles, all cooked over a 28 foot-long open fire that runs the span of the hot line.  Traditional moles, sauces and little-known native ingredients are transported to Toronto and infused with the bounty of local Ontario and Canadian produce, for a one-of-a-kind dining experience. Quetzal is located at the corner of College & Bathurst, at the edges of four Toronto hotspot neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Kensington Market, Harbord Village, and the Annex.

From the OpenTable editors: Fire-kissed flavours from a wood-burning grill and lesser-seen Mexican dishes that go beyond tacos and tostadas earned Quetzal a MICHELIN star. A creative cocktail menu centred on tequila and mezcal, plus a curvy, eye-catching ceiling that channels a Mexican market, complete the restaurant’s ultra-cool vibe.

    We tried this place for my wife's birthday. I did not know it was a Michelin star restaurant before booking the table. Everything was amazing. Definitely give the cocktails a go as well if you are going here.

    An amazing dining experience! Sitting at the counter and watching the chefs cook was a true delight. Celebrating my birthday here was the best decision. I look forward to returning for another occasion to try more dishes from their menu.

    This place is the most amazing Michelle stared restaurant for daily in Toronto. I'm a star collector, and this is the only place where I have tried every single dish on the menu, other than those restaurants use seasonal menu.

    The ambiance was amazing and was elevated with how good the food was as well. Our blonde waitress, I forget her name unfortunately, was the best waitress ive ever had. She took care of us and made my friend’s birthday really special. Great restaurant, will most likely make it at least a yearly visit now.

    Exceptional from the moment we called to advice of our delay to the leaving. Every single staff member provided the same outstanding service. The curated menu beyond our expectation. Thank you for making our celebration one of the best dining experience we’ve had this year. We’ve been to several Michelin star, recommended restaurants in GTA - you have restored our faith. Amazing . 10 stars if there was one!

    Great restaurant. Food was very good and the service fast and efficient. Quite energetic and fun, the only disappointment is a rather too commercial drinks selection.

    Everything was absolutely incredible from beginning to end. The friendly, lovely, hardworking staff made it an unforgettable dining experience. Obviously the food is important too, lol. And it was exceptional! Delicious, creative, and generous portions. I am excited to return :)
