One of the Frank Gehry-designed spaces, AGO Bistro is conveniently located on the first floor with access from Dundas Street. The restaurant is casual chic: modern Danish furnishings are paired with acrylic tabletops in a multitude of vibrant colours. Etched glass and vertical-grain Douglas fir also accent the space. With a dedication to using the best local produce, menus reflect seasonal changes and availability. Ingredients are sourced from the finest suppliers and farms, and are cooked simply to showcase the natural flavours of the food.

    The minestrone was one of the best soups I have ever had. I ate the whole bowl which I rarely do for a starter. The croque Madame was good but hard to eat because of the eggs on top of it. The salad was nice. The Don Valley Violette had grapefruit in it but it was not overwhelming. It was refreshing. Overall, it was very good meal.

    The waiter was very helpful as both I and my guest have dietary restrictions. The wines were a great price with the Prix fix lunch!

    Our host, Alexis, thoughtfully assigned us a perfect table. Our server, Peter, was wonderfully attentive. Our bartender, Stephen, made delicious drinks. Our chef, Josh, created a scrumptious meal. Thank you!

    Shared a green salad with grilled salmon, and augmented it with an order of the AGO Bistro's always great french fries with aoili. For dessert, Rebecca our fantastic waitress suggested a panna cotta made from coconut and a purple tuber (Ubé?), which was like a rich rice pudding without the rice. Great lunch, great service!
