Ricky + Olivia

Ricky + Olivia is a modern restaurant at 996 Queen Street East in Toronto's Leslieville neighbourhood, in Ontario, Canada. It is listed in the Michelin Guide Toronto 2026 selection as a Bib Gourmand, the guide's recognition of good-value cooking. The cuisine is described as creative, and the listed specialty is creative seasonal plates, which suggests a menu that changes with the produce available and favours small and medium dishes meant for sharing. The listed average is CAD 40-75 per person, or about USD 29-54, placing it in the moderate range for a Michelin-listed Toronto restaurant. The dining room reflects Leslieville's relaxed, design-conscious character, with casual to smart-casual dress and a sociable, moderately loud atmosphere in the evening, suitable for couples and small groups. A creative seasonal restaurant of this kind usually offers a compact wine list, craft beer and cocktails chosen to suit changing dishes, so asking the staff for pairings is worthwhile. Because the menu shifts, specific dishes are best confirmed with the restaurant at the time of booking. Leslieville is east of downtown and known for independent cafes, vintage shops and brunch spots, and Queen Street East is served by the 501 Queen streetcar, which makes reaching the restaurant without a car straightforward. The restaurant's own website is the best source for its current booking platform, as Toronto restaurants variously use OpenTable, Resy or Tock, and weekend evenings are advisable to book ahead. A visit can easily be paired with a daytime walk along Queen Street East or a trip to the nearby Greenwood Park area.
