At Quetzal, we celebrate regional Mexican cuisine, inspired by traditional flavours and cooking styles, all cooked over a 28 foot-long open fire that runs the span of the hot line.  Traditional moles, sauces and little-known native ingredients are transported to Toronto and infused with the bounty of local Ontario and Canadian produce, for a one-of-a-kind dining experience. Quetzal is located at the corner of College & Bathurst, at the edges of four Toronto hotspot neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Kensington Market, Harbord Village, and the Annex.

From the OpenTable editors: Fire-kissed flavours from a wood-burning grill and lesser-seen Mexican dishes that go beyond tacos and tostadas earned Quetzal a MICHELIN star. A creative cocktail menu centred on tequila and mezcal, plus a curvy, eye-catching ceiling that channels a Mexican market, complete the restaurant’s ultra-cool vibe.

    This restaurant deserves all the accolades it has received and should continue to receive. We went last night for continued birthday celebrations for my son and we couldn’t have chosen a better way to cap it all off. Not only was the food exceptional, the service was beyond. A glass was never empty, the napkins were always folded the moment you got up from the table, the pace of dishes and clean up between courses was never hesitant. There was no pretentiousness, just a good time and seamless execution. And thank you for listening to your clients. The birthday wishes were so appreciated. Thank you.

    Excellent food, atmosphere, and service. Well worth the price. The lamb rack with mole and the tortillas was the star for us, with a close second of the octopus. Service was outstanding, and the sommelier had excellent recommendations. Highly recommend!
