Avelo Restaurant is located in a heritage townhouse on a quiet street in Yorkville and serves some of the city's finest plant-based cuisine. Our aim is to deliver an extraordinary and immersive dining experience where the servers guide guests through an exploration of many small plates highlighting seasonal ingredients while offering insight into each dish. We also offer an optional wine pairing and are able to accommodate many dietary restrictions with advance notice.

Avelo hosts two dinner seatings per evening where guests choose between the 5-course or the 8-course* tasting menu. The seating times are 5-6:15pm and 7:45-8:30pm.

Prices:
5-course:
$70/person Wed, Thu, Sun
$85/person Fri-Sat

8-course*:
$115/person Wed, Thu, Sun
$135/person Fri-Sat

For a more casual plant-based experience, see our other concept, Bar Avelo, which focuses on cocktails, and offers an a la carte Tapas menu.

*The 8 course meal is only available during our second seating time from 7:45-8:30pm

    This is the first time my husband and I did an 8 course tasting. With incredibly knowledgable staff, mind blowing and complex food, this was a night to remember. When a taste can bring you back to your childhood (much like what happened in Ratatouille), it’s nothing I had ever experienced anywhere else. Even as a non vegetarian, I did not miss the absence of meat. A must “go-to”.

    I’m neither vegan nor vegetarian but I wanted to try this restaurant to experience something different. It was a wonderful dinning experience. The food was amazing and the service was terrific. The quality of the food was impressive. The staff was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. My own vegetable dishes just don’t cut it anymore. It is pricey but, in my opinion, it’s worth it.

    Had a great experience at Avelo. Ordered the 5-course tasting menu with wine pairing for a birthday with some requested substitutions. Food had great variety of flavours and we appreciated the care in the substitutions. Ambience was excellent: quiet but not fussy; elevated but comfortable. As a group, we liked some of the dishes more than others, but portions were just right and the wine pairings were very good. Highly recommend doing both. Included special dessert and complementary drink. for the birthday. Overall, highly satisfactory for 2 omnivores and a vegan. It's expensive, so we won't be doing it regularly, but was perfect for a special occasion.

    Overall this was a disappointing meal and certainly not worth the price. Most of the dishes were unforgettable, although we did enjoy the first course of croissants and the dessert course. Would likely not visit again.

    At the end of the night I told our server that was probably the best meal I’ve ever had. Luxurious yet personal. Beautiful to look at and exquisite to eat. Great place for our anniversary. There’s a lovely less upscale bar upstairs thati want to check out next time. Thank you!
