Alo

Alo is a tasting-menu restaurant on the third floor of 163 Spadina Avenue in Toronto's Entertainment District, in Ontario, Canada. It appears in the Michelin Guide Toronto 2026 selection with one star and is one of the most established fine-dining rooms in the city. The cuisine is French in technique and contemporary in outlook, presented as a multi-course tasting menu that changes with the seasons, so specific dishes rotate. The format is prix fixe rather than à la carte, with beverage pairings offered alongside, and the wine programme is a significant part of the experience for guests who choose it. The dining room is upstairs and set apart from the street, which gives it a calm, composed atmosphere with attentive, formal-leaning service and a quieter noise level than most Toronto restaurants. Dress is typically smart; there is no formal code that visitors should rely on, but casual sportswear is out of step with the room. Expect a spend of roughly CAD 200-280 per person before drinks and gratuity, about USD 144-202. Reservations are essential. Tables for the tasting menu fill well ahead, and travellers who want a weekend slot generally plan several weeks in advance and book through the restaurant's own site or the booking platform it currently uses. The ground-floor sister restaurant, Aloette, shares the address and offers a more relaxed, lower-priced alternative for visitors who cannot secure a table upstairs. The Spadina and Queen Street West location is close to the Theatre District, the CN Tower and the Rogers Centre, which makes Alo a natural choice for a pre- or post-event celebration dinner. Dietary requirements are best raised when booking so the kitchen can adapt the set menu in advance.
