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.

    highly recommend the shared tasting menu and being adventurous with the wine list as there are a few unique wines you won't find anywhere else.

    Amazing. Got the tasting menu with drink pairing. Worth every penny. Sat at the chefs table wood fired. It was hot and smoky but it didn’t deter from our experience. Did not disappoint!

    The food and service here are exceptional. Super friendly staff with attention to detail. They make you feel special and listened to. The food was all excellent but the pork was out of this world. Highly recommend for a special occasion.

    As always, Quetzal impressed. We had a larger group on this visit so the Chef's menu was the right fit for the group. As always, the service was perfect - the team deftly navigated my friend's dietary challenges without obvious impact to the meal. The food was all beautiful and beautifully presented. Flavours were incredible. It was an all around fabulous birthday! Thank you
