Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in High Park

I had the pleasure of dining at Joni Restaurant yesterday for a Christmas dinner with my son, and it was truly a memorable experience. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The service was impeccable, with the staff being attentive, warm, and professional. The chef’s menu was outstanding, featuring creative dishes that were both beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and festive, but I couldn't help but feel that a touch of Christmas music—perhaps soft background tunes or even a live band or singer—would have elevated the holiday spirit even further. It was the only element missing from an otherwise perfect evening. Thank you to the entire team at Joni Restaurant for making our Christmas dinner special. We will definitely be back

Great restaurant. We went here for lunch and breakfast the next day. The food is really good, and the staff is very nice and helpful. No complaints.

Great tea selection & attention to detail. The food was well balanced and the chefs have an innovative take on the High Tea classics. Most importantly; everything was really tasty! Appreciated the holiday theme. Service was intuitive & extremely hospitable; although as a relatively frequent guest of the Ritz Carlton, that is their gold standard. Highly recommended! Looking forward to this experience next year.

The food was excellent, especially the steak and the fish. The space is well designed, smaller dining areas throughout the restaurant. Our server was great

As always we a great experience at ABH. During the holidays the decor and ambiance is really cozy and we tend to frequent it several times. On a cold and snowy day sitting by the fireplace and water is a must if you haven’t tried it! Food and drinks are always on point!
