• Bistro • Entertainment District

Booked 34 times today

Opened in 2017. Michelin-recommended since 2022.We first imagined Aloette to be the perfect diner that we’d want to dine in – a menu with a great cheeseburger paired with a fantastic and fun wine list, a long row of bar stools facing the bar and the kitchen, and an energetic atmosphere accented with an old school hip hop playlist. The buzz of the dining room mirrors the energy of the street on Spadina Avenue; the dining room itself mimics a train’s dining car. It’s a bistro-meets-diner-meets-internationally-inspired menu which is also representative of the diverse culture in Toronto. Our service team is upbeat and genuine but also deeply knowledgeable about the menu and offerings. Brunch at Aloette was something we said we’d never do. But the city kept asking and we’re glad to be a new staple in the Queen West neighbourhood for mimosas, chicken and waffles, and piping hot coffees. We hope you love our little diner as much as we and our team do. Patrick Kriss & Zane Pearl

One of the downtown core’s finest dining establishments. The front of the house is very well run, the staff is prompt, pleasant and attentive. But best of all, is the dining experience. Every meal that I have had at Juno has been outstanding.

Our drinks took a while and came to the table in 3 trip each one with a 2-3 minute wait between. Our meal felt very rushed, the plates for the mains were being set while we were eating our appetizers, a little patience from the server while we were enjoying our food would have been appreciated.
