Amal

Amal is a Lebanese restaurant at 131 Bloor Street West in Toronto's Yorkville, Ontario, Canada, listed in the Michelin Guide Toronto 2026 selection as a Recommended restaurant. The cuisine is Lebanese, with the mezze-led style of the Levant at its core: small shared dishes such as dips, salads and grilled items, followed by larger plates. Specific dishes change, so visitors should check the current menu, but the format suits groups who want to sample widely. Typical spend is about CAD 45-85 per person, roughly USD 32-61, depending on drinks and the number of dishes. The Yorkville setting places the restaurant among the city's upscale shops, galleries and hotels, and the dining room reflects that with a polished, comfortable mood, moderate noise levels and smart-casual dress being the norm. The drinks list typically offers wine, cocktails and Levantine-style options such as arak where available, and staff can suggest pairings with the mezze. Reservations policies vary, so visitors should check the restaurant's website for its current booking platform, since some Toronto restaurants use OpenTable, Resy or Tock. Booking ahead is advisable for Thursday to Saturday evenings and for groups, while weekday lunches and early dinners are easier. The Bloor Street West address is steps from Bay and Yonge-Bloor subway stations, close to the Royal Ontario Museum and the Bloor-Yorkville shopping area, which makes it convenient for visitors who are spending the day in the museums or on Bloor Street and want a sit-down meal. Vegetarian choices are a natural strength of Lebanese cooking, and other dietary needs are best raised with the restaurant in advance so the kitchen can adapt.
