Sitting atop the iconic Westin Harbour Castle, on the edge of Lake Ontario, the spacious new location on the 38th floor, offers stunning views of the city skyline and Toronto’s harbor. Showcasing the incredible cuisine of Michelin Star Chefs Ernesto & Alfonso Iaccarino and the wonderful fresh flavors of the Amalfi coast, Don Alfonso 1890’s cuisine is characterized by its modernity, Mediterranean flare and the exceptional quality of the raw materials used.

From the OpenTable editors: Don Alfonso 1890 is the epitome of fine dining, from the delicate Italian plates to the chic decor. The restaurant has collected countless awards for its nuanced approach to Mediterranean cuisine, including one MICHELIN star. The tasting menu is a can’t-miss experience, but a la carte dishes like ravioli stuffed with pheasant are equally tempting.

Dining at Don Alfonso was an unforgettable experience, blending impeccable service with world-class cuisine. From the moment we stepped in, the elegant ambiance set the stage for an extraordinary meal. Each dish was a masterpiece, crafted with precision and bursting with bold yet balanced flavors. The tasting menu showcased the chef’s innovation, with beautifully plated courses that highlighted the finest ingredients. The wine pairing elevated the experience even further, perfectly complementing each course. Every detail, from presentation to service, was flawless, making it a truly exceptional culinary journey.

The service was amazing and food was great except all the hot dishes came out warm or room temperature. Still great but disappointing that such a simple thing would have raised the level significantly.
