I had my first Canoe experience during Winterlicious 2015, and had dinner here on the first night of Winterlicious. There's no question that the restaurant is beautiful - although we weren't seated right by the windows, we all got a glimpse of the Toronto skyline as we were walking in, and it was absolutely breathtaking at night with all the lights. Service here was also great (as it should be!), as the servers were very attentive and took the time to chat with us and tell us about each of the dishes as they brought them out. While all of that was great, of course the part we were most excited for was to try the food - and I would say the Winterlicious dinner menu definitely had some interesting looking items and plenty of appealing options! To start, I ordered the smoked salmon which had pickled garnishes, pumpernickel crumble and wild rose cream. The smoked salmon was as expected, very delicious, but this appetizer didn't wow me. I liked the way the smokey taste of the salmon mixed with the sourness from the pickled garnishes, and the texture of the pumpernickel crumble added to the dish as well. However, the wild rose cream didn't really taste like anything, so I was a little disappointed. I tried some of my friend's rabbit + fowl mini pot pie, which had chestnuts and cranberries, and again, while it was perfectly fine, I didn't think there was anything special about it. I knew immediately when I came in that I had to try the wild rubbed venison roast for my main, just because. The dish came with smoked onion, mini potatoes, and berry mostarda, and is cooked medium rare by default, which is usually how I prefer my meat, and I think if it was cooked any more i.e. medium, I wouldn't have enjoyed it. The venison wasn't too dry or anything, but I suppose the meat is just naturally a bit tougher than steak. Overall this main was good, but there was nothing like super unique about it (besides the fact it was deer meat, it didn't taste that much different from steak) or any of the items on the side. I tried a bit of my friend's sirloin tip steak though, and that was really good. It's a really thin piece of steak, so they can't cook it any less than medium, but it still ends up being super moist and juicy and really delicious. Would recommend this! For dessert, my friends and I all ordered the osprey bluffs honey panna cotta, and quite honestly it's a good thing we all had our own, because it was sooooo good that we would have been fighting over it otherwise. It comes with vanilla poached apricot, pistachio cream and orange scented tapioca, and everything about it was just fabulous. The panna cotta was just sooooo smooth, and then that pistachio cream as well was so velvety and smooth and amazing. If you like pistachio, you would love this. The tapioca was also kind of a fun addition to the dessert. Each component of the dessert tasted great on its own but also amazing blended together. Perfect way to end off the night! My overall thoughts about Canoe were mostly positive although also a little bit mixed. I would definitely say the food is good, there is no question, but would I pay the full price to go here on a regular day... probably not. MAYBE for steak, but nothing else really "wowed" me, and especially given that the portions aren't very big, I can't really justify the price. (Would rate the food 3.5 in terms of price-for-value.) That being said, I definitely would love to come here again for Winterlicious or Summerlicious next time! I think when it comes to Canoe, it's definitely all about the experience, and I will say that I did enjoy mine! read more

Excellent wine selection and very delicious entrees! Fine dining at its best, and the view was spectacular!

Went for Summerlicious lunch. We got a table near the window with a gorgeous view of the lake and Toronto Island. Service was quick (given our reservation was at 2pm). Overall, it exceeded my expectations given the mixed reviews I've heard about summerlicious. Appetizer: salmon tartare. My favourite part of the meal. Fresh raw salmon with creamy wasabi/horseradish sauce and veggie. Being a sashimi lover, I I could eat it all day! Entree: fish cakes. Hearty portion and well seasoned but nothing out of the ordinary. I tasted more bread/carbs than fish. Dessert: ganache cake. It may seem tiny but it was super rich and filling! Reminds me of a (fancy) tootie roll. Everyone at my table got the cake and liked it. Will come back for its original menu. read more

Due to the hype to one of the most sought out restaurants during these 'licious events, it has been a year or so before I was able to land myself a reservation. With a table of 8 during a Sunday lunch, we were seated by the window side. Woot! Though the weather was cloudy, it was a spectacular view of the city, especially by the Harbourfront. I can just imagine how it must look during sunset. Appetizers: Chilled Holland Marsh Leek & Potato Soup, marinated with chive oil and baby shellfish - This appetizer won me over right from the start. It was a cold preparation, with a smooth, creamy, and rich texture. The baby shellfood added a seafood element to it, which made it was one of the most delicious soups I've ever tried. Wellington County Flatiron Steak - Beautifully presented. Medium rare, tender, and melts in your mouth. Definitely top notch. Dessert: Canoe Pecan Tart - Probably the most disappointing dish of the afternoon. It was served with a scoop of Vanilla icecream, but I couldn't distinguish the pecan tart from the ones I can buy at a store. The waiter consistently made his presence known, but also knew when to come in at the right time when we needed something. Overall, fantastic service, beautiful ambience, top-of-the-line quality food. It definitely does live up to its hype. Will definitely be back for another 'licious round. read more

The experience is definitely worth a try and the price. If making reservations, be sure to ask about getting a window seat since thats where the best views are. We were two and shared the Ontario Prawn and oysters as starters. Ontario Prawn was very flavourful and oysters were fresh. Next, we got the B affin island turbot (fish) and Ash rubbed + larded filet (beef) as mains. Finished off with chocolate forest stout cake and evergreen mille-feuille. Desserts were both very good. Overall very good experience. read more

Best restaurant in Toronto. The chef de cuisine, Ron McKinlay, is one of the most down-to-earth coolest people I met during my visit to Toronto. Ask him about where they get their rabbits for the hare cannelloni ; ) Tasting menu is about 140 CAD (including tax and gratuity). Here's a quick rundown: -Crispy jerusalem artichoke: The artichoke has similar texture/sweetness as a dried date -Caramelized onion broth with bresola, tartare on celeriac crisp -Hare cannellonil: a masterpiece -Main: choice between Coho Salmon and Bison Rib Eye -Celeriac + toasted hay sorbet: such a unique and sharp flavor -Beetroot mille-feuille -Cedar pate de fruits: a little candy 5-stars. must visit. enought said. read more

I went to 6 different summerlicious events this year and Canoe gets the top rating. My list: 1) Canoe 2) Auberge du Pommier 3) Epic 4) Biff 5) Jump 6) Lucien Why did Canoe top the list? It excelled on all three fronts: A) SERVICE B) AMBIANCE C) FOOD Even though we did not reserve a window seat, they obliged when we asked for one. Also, the waiter escorted us around the restaurant when we wanted to take pictures - even offering suggestions for picture locations. The view was spectacular. I was seated right by the window overlooking the ACC and Hanlan Point (Toronto's Islands). For once, the food had competition: I kept glancing away from my dishes to look at the scenery. As for the food, I have to admit that it did not make me scream in delight but everything was cooked just right (texture / seasoning / balance). Presentation was killer. The highlight for me was my dessert - it was soooo smooth and delicate. I plan to have my AMEX ready for the next *licious event! read more

My partner took me here to celebrate New Year's Eve. This is my very first experience eating at Canoe and I can say it's absolutely beautiful. Located at a level that allows you to see Centre Island, CN Tower, etc if you get to sit next to the window - lucky you. I didn't, but it was still a beautiful view from inside. Canoe also had an ice sculpture to welcome to new year outside their restaurant - very neat! For food, Canoe offers a set menu on New Years Eve. My partner ordered the wine pairing along with the menu.. For appetizer, I ordered a smoked salmon while he ordered the french onion soup. The salmon came in a high dome glass - imagine beauty and the beast rose encasement. It was beautiful. The dome helped smoked the salmon and the servers only open it when its at your table. Salmon itself was quite good - but I was so much more amazed at the presentation. My partners French Onion Soup wasn't quite my thing. It was a bit sweeter than I imagine usual French Onion Soups to be. But he seemed to like it a lot. For entree, I ordered the elk, while my partner ordered the striploin steak. I have never tried elk before, so it was a new experience. I would say I liked my partners steak more. The elk dish didn't have as much flavor and juiciness. For dessert, we ordered lemon curd meringue It was an interesting dish - I wouldn't say I would order it again despite my love for dessert Service at Canoe was excellent - extremely attentive to your needs, so polite, quick, and really know their dishes well. I do admit that the price here is very very high. But for those special occasions, I guess it's good to experience something nice once in awhile. read more

I'm not going to lie I had the stomach flu and was sick before I came here so I have to try it again. With that said the service here was unbelievable. Everyone was very friendly, on point and it was just great service. I came here for summerlicious. The reason I deducted a star was because of the beef. I order my steak usually blue or rare. They told me they only had med-rare to med. I figured it wouldn't be too bad, so I went for it. One piece was medium and it wasn't bad. Great flavour :) but the other piece was well done, no pink at all and it was just too disappointing for me to be able to give this place the full 5*. Great atmosphere. Great service. Amazing drinks!!! Really amazing! And food not bad except that beef. I have to try it again though, when I'm not sick. Maybe it might be better no beef though. Ooohhh the dessert was amazing!!!! read more

The only thing disappointing about my experience at Canoe was that I didn't have room in my belly at the end for dessert. And the desserts sounded simply amazing. Dang. We went for dinner on a Friday night for the late seating. Everyone we encountered was friendly, gracious and helpful. Our server (whose name I can't remember) recommended an excellent wine which went perfectly with the starter (which we shared) and our mains. We started with the buffalo mozzarella with rhubarb and shrimp. What an odd sounding combo! But I have never had a more delightful way to begin a meal. Since we were sharing it, they brought us each a plate with a half portion (so we wouldn't have to fight over it, they said). The presentation was very artsy, and that it tasted even better than it looked was impressive. I wanted to lick my dish clean. He had the char, which he described as a seemingly random blend of flavours which ended up working out perfectly. I had the ribeye which was cooked to perfection and had a delicious sauce. I think considering the quality of food, effort in presentation and reasonable prices (for an upscale restaurant), this is definitely a great place for a special occasion or if you just want to go for a bit of a fancier meal experience. read more

If I could give 0 I would. Our server had the worst attitude - he was rude, snobby, sassy, and overall not a pleasant person. He could have been having a bad day, but he succeeded in rubbing that off onto all of us who were dining in to celebrate a birthday.. because of this experience I will never return. Very disappointing when a visit is ruined by customer service. Expected Canoe to hire better staff considering the price point. read more

Note that I didn't actually eat at Canoe but this is my experience making a reservation for Winterlicious 2018. Canoe may be the one restaurant that I constantly get raving recommendations on their exquisite food, but unfortunately my first encounter with them was extremely unpleasant. I called to make a reservation, and was content if I couldn't get a table because I know how popular Canoe is. However the receptionist on the phone was either unprofessional, unhelpful, or hates her job. It was like pulling teeth when I tried to get information from her, and she did not sounded like she cared or tried to offer any solutions to solve a problem. I also didn't get a reservation at another Winterlicious restaurant, but the receptionist there was welcoming, made sure I was informed, and tried to provide a solution to my problem. It seems like people that visit Canoe during their usual occasions receive great services, and not so much when it comes to Winterlicious/Summerlicious. If that is the case, Canoe, you would be much better off not participating in these events and save the time of your customers from going through these horrible experiences. If my first encounter with a restaurant already leaves such a bad taste afterwards, I am very reserved on whether I would be visiting this place at all, regardless of how exquisite their food is. read more

Best meal I have had in a long time Had the prawn chowder, oysters, beef tenderloin, and duck. With the milk chocolate salted caramel desert and the berry crumble. The flavours were amazing.

This was my third time going to canoe and unfortunately noticed a huge difference in the quality and presentation of the food, when they are busy compared to when they are not. Also, as you know many restaurants' quality lowers as they get more popular and I am afraid to say so did canoe's( in my opinion). We visited recently for summerlicious. The staff are polite and friendly. The food was okayyy... not really tasty, as it always has been tbh. The miso glazed albacore tuna was mediocre and the beef cheek was just delicious because of the exterior sauces on it, but still needed salt‍ i have been a hugeeeee fan of canoe for the last couple of years and can not honestly say I was impressed this time. Even the desert was not delivered, as they had described it( it didnt have the crunchy parts on it and was just big pieces of chocolate cake set on a plate). However, hope you enjoy my photography;) Price:33$ for a three course meal read more

My new bride and I went to Canoe for our celebration dinner on the first night of our honeymoon in Toronto. I chose Canoe because of the interesting menu and solid reviews that promised quality food and spectacular views of the city. The views were indeed incredible, especially from our table near the corner. The views were just the beginning of what would be one of the greatest dinner experiences either of us has ever had. Our server, Ian, immediately greeted us with congratulations on our marriage and complimentary champagne. Shortly after, the manager greeted us and offered her congratulations. Throughout the evening the service from all parties was absolutely impeccable. We started with the maple salmon candy, which is as delicious as it sounds. Salmon coated with maple syrup...uh...yes, please. Served with avocado, nori, and some sturgeon caviar, it was an interesting and delicious mix of flavors. My only complaint about the dish was that it wasn't about eight times bigger. I'm glad it wasn't, because had I eaten eight times more, I wouldn't have wanted to order a second appetizer. We went with the venison tartare, and that may have been the best decision we made during the entire honeymoon. Well...at a restaurant. Rarely would I use the word "stunning" to describe food, but this dish deserves such accolades. From the venison to the bacon to the peppercorns to the mustard seeds, every part of this dish was perfectly delicious and seemed to melt in our mouths before we had a chance to actually chew. We truly savored every bite, it was one of the most memorably wonderful things I've ever eaten. I felt as though I could have eaten a metric tonne of that stuff. I'm glad I didn't, because had I eaten a metric tonne of that stuff, I wouldn't have ordered such a wonderful main course. Both main courses we ordered were equally delicious, she had the barley risotto, I had the wild boar chop. Her risotto was cooked perfectly and despite my well documented hatred of onions, the charred onions in the dish were actually very tasty. My wild boar was also perfectly cooked, very tender and quite flavorful. Portion sizes were perfect and the accompaniments were all delicious. My wife very much enjoyed the wine that Ian recommended with dinner. The desserts we chose were incredible, and the fact that they came out with "Congratulations" written in chocolate on the edge of the plates added a perfect touch of niceness and class. The entire experience was thoroughly enjoyable. The service was great, the ambiance was relaxed and calm, the views were amazing, all of the food was delicious, every drink was just right. We couldn't have been happier with our dinner at Canoe. read more

I've always heard about Canoe and how great it is but it was below my expectation. Unfortunately we missed the view because it was foggy day with snow. Their timing was perfect and they set the table sharp on time. We went there for winterlicioues event. Kale salad was OK but poached salmon was not good at all. I only could eat it with drink. For the main food rib was good but chicken was very very normal. You can find the chicken in other restaurant as well. I believe the best part was desert. We tried both trifle and the cake and both were super delicious. While we still eating the desert before we asked for the bill, the waiter brought the bill. It seems that they wanted to kick us out. Anyhow, i think Canoe is overrated. read more

I don't get the hype on this place. Nothing wowed me, is it the far wall that was recently renoed, or the view of the gardiner expressway? or being on the 54th floor? for years I've heard about this legendary place.. but sadly I have to say it was not up to my expectations. The food, main course pork tenderloin was melt in your mouth good, same with the butternut squash soup delicious, the dessert - a bread pudding was disappointing cold, tasted straight out of the fridge. . Food was excellent (portion a bit on the small side), price way above average, atmosphere a disappointment. read more

Come for the views. Stay for some of the best wine (and food) you've ever tasted. If you know me, then you know I'm not the biggest fan of Chardonnay--or most white wines that aren't bubbly. That said, I was NOT going to pass on this particular Chardonnay. When one of my dining partners asked what was so special about it, not only did it it offer me the opportunity to talk about/winesplain history (the Judgment of Paris) but also one of my favorite Alan Rickman movies, "Bottle Shock." read more

Come here for the Summerlicious 2018 dinner menu. There're so many friends told me how difficult to get a reservation in Canoe during the licious time, so I felt so lucky when I got the reservation easily. But the experience today was too far from my expectations. The view here is definitely good and waiters are super friendly to rearrange a table near to the window for us. But the dishes were just the average level: pork rillettes was too greasy; dinner bread and strawberry shortcake was way too hard. Come on! It's cheesecake! It should be moist and soft I know sometimes you can't expect too much during the promotion time. Maybe I'm too picky, but I do expect a much better taste at this price and in Canoe. read more

My family has dined at high end, fine dining establishments throughout the world. Canoe falls miserably short. The good news is that the food is good. Not great but solid. The bad news is that service was lacking and even laughable at times. We watched as the wrong food was brought to the wrong tables on numerous occasions, including ours. One of us was asked if we wanted another drink but not both of us even though we both had empty glasses. We were celebrating my wife's birthday tonight. There was absolutely no acknowledgement of it by our server. Ever. The table had a cheap pre-printed "Happy Birthday" placard on it. There was no amuse bouche. No petit fours after dinner. NO attempt at celebrating my wife's birthday. I'm happy to spend $500 USD on dinner but it will never be here again. Sad state of affairs at Canoe. Mediocre experience at best. And, your view doesn't make up for your shortcomings this evening. read more

Thursday nights are usually busy for restaurants in the downtown financial district. We have waited a long time for our food at Canoe, but the dishes were well made. In pics: gouda tempura, burrata cheese with toasted seaweed, turbot in red wine sauce, 2010 Jean-Luc Colombo Cornas Les Ruchets (we brought our own wine). My friend belongs to a wine club and we get free corkage for 1 bottle. Everything went well service-wise until we brought up the free corkage. I was actually a bit shocked when our waiter's response was "I've never heard about it" instead of "please let me check with the restaurant manager or sommelier". In the end of course we were right, but it just pains me to see that people are not doing their job properly. I have high expectations, especially if you want to charge me $50 for a main course. read more

Came here for Summerlicious 2018 this past weekend for dinner. I would have LOVED to give this place 5 stars. The food was excellent - especially the appetizers (burrata, salmon). The lamb shoulder was the most tender I've ever had. I even requested a more private window setting in my reservation since this was an anniversary occasion and they accommodated, to my pleasant surprise! The view at Canoe especially in the evening is no joke. While the staff members were very courteous, my issue was with other aspects of the service. Don't get me wrong, the food was probably my favourite I've ever had at a Summerlicious event. But nothing puts a damper like finding a 3-inch long piece of coarse hair embedded in your first course that you can't even see until you've had a few bites. It was even more disturbing since it was smoked salmon. I alerted our waiter who promptly replaced it, so that was fine. They also compensated by putting the wine on the house and I do appreciate that. I wrote off the hair thing as a rare occurrence, but what came after was the most awkward part of the dining experience. Remember how it was an anniversary event? I forgot they probably use this information from the reservation (you have the option to select what type of dining occasion) to add a small personalization to the dessert. We got our dessert - strawberry shortcake - and it was very good, and I didn't care that there was no personalization on it. But as our table was being cleared, the table next to us received their desserts with "Happy Anniversary" messages written on it. I was confused because THEY were confused, saying it wasn't their anniversary for a few months... Then I realized they mixed up our tables. Couldn't tell if they got the wrong table numbers or the people confused since we're both Asian couples :S The waiters realized the screw up, the people around us realized the screw up, and all in all it was a highly awkward/embarrassing moment when they came back with an off-the-menu dessert and a haphazardly written Happy Anniversary on it. We are not the type of people to make that request or a fuss over it, since it's just an honest mistake. It would have been infinitely better to not draw anyone else's attention to this, but we got some congrats from people afterwards. Went home cringing for the rest of the night LOL. I do feel bad for our waiter though, since it was more than likely not his fault. I would still give Canoe another shot, but probably not in the near future nor for an anniversary dinner. read more

Did the tasting menu with wine pairing here with a friend, it was such a treat. The view is spectacular, and the food was extremely well executed. This is definitely fine dining, and some courses pushed the boundaries a bit for my friend, who wasn't used to this style of food, but was overall well recieved. I did the vegetarian tasting menu, and was blown away by the choice of ingredients and preparation. The wine pairing took it to another level, what a skilled sommelier. He took a lot of time to answer our questions, and obviously has a passion for his work. All of the staff were very friendly as well! read more

This is one of my favorite high-end restaurants. It is a foodie`s paradise. The view from the 54th Floor of the TD Bank tower can`t be beat. The service is always exceptional and the food is very good. I am sucker for foie gras and it is superb at Canoe. The presentation is beautiful - the plate looks like a work of art - almost too pretty to disturb. The wild mushroom soup is incredible. It has been on the menu for years and for good reason. It is creamy and rich tasting but has not butter or cream in it. I`ve also had the steak tartare, gravlax and oysters during other visits and all were good but the foie gras and the mushroom soup are my favorite by a mile. The lobster clubhouse is, surprising, not one of my favorite dishes. It is just so so for me but it seems to be a popular dish. I have had the brisket and the sea bass but I tend to order one of the daily specials. We shared the sticky toffee date date pudding which was good but not great - mostly because I am not a fan of passion fruit as I find it to be overpowering. The service is second to none and I always leave feeling well taken care of. read more

I came as a guest for a corporate event on a Tuesday evening - we were in a private room which faced south and looked out to the lake. Unfortunately it was a bit off to the East side so we were not able to get a clear view of the CN Tower - great view regardless. The evening started with drinks (wine, cocktails, and even beer - essentially anything from the menu) - we were served the Biff's wines, which were not bad, but not impressionable either. This was followed by a dinner (3-course meal with choices for each), where Cavespring wines were served (orders from the drinks menus were also taken). For the appetizer - I had a spinach and quinoa salad (quite refreshing and just enough dressing - I just wished they had mentioned it would be served with a sort of goat cheese/cream). I went for the baseball cut strip loin (medium rare_ for my main and thought it was done well (though I may have gotten lucky - a friend also ordered this but had a bit too much fat on it than desired). There were lots of positive reviews for the stuffed cornish hen, which was stuffed with foie gras and grains. Finally, I chose the Canoe classic butter tart for dessert on the wait staff's recommendation, not much to note here. The service was good - I would say less impressive than that at Auberge du Pommier (but there may be a difference between dining with a small group vs. a big corporate event). All in all, I had a good time at this restaurant - similar to my views for Auberge du Pommier (another O&B spot), I would say the selling points are the ambiance and service. Would be best to come here for summerlicious or winterlicious. read more

Awesome, awesome experience. I was pleasantly surprise they were opened on Sunday for mothers day, which happen to be my 1yr anniversary. Score! Canoe on weekend! The service was exceptional, very attentive staffs. And, the food is spectacular. Starter: The fois gras with "peanut butter" and "jam". I appreciate the creativity but I thought the peanut was a bit overwhelming. The salmon was very moist and full of flavor. Main: Tea- infused duck breast is the moistest and tastiest duck I ever had. It was a exceptional dish. Lamb was tendered as expected but the duck take the cake. Dessert: Lemon meringue. The crust was abit too hard. But the lemon was just the right amount of tartness and sweetness. Dinner for two with a bottle of sparkling was about $270. Not bad for a special occasion. read more

Came here for the regular dinner menu (not summerlicious). It is located on the 54th floor of the TD Tower, giving an amazing view, even if you aren't seated right by the window. All the dishes were presented very well and tasted amazing. A lot of care is definitely taken in plating the dishes and making them look unique. The menu is changed seasonally so there is always something different to try. I would recommend Canoe especially for special occasions due to the ambiance and amazing view of Toronto. read more

I don't really see what the hype is all about. I recently had dinner here for a special occasion and have been super let down. The service and the environment at Canoe was superb, but other than that there is nothing really special about it. With the overpriced food, that comes in rabbit portions. Unless you feel like coming for a $60 piece of prime rib the size of a Babybel... It's just funny as I have never been to a restaurant that will break the bank and leave you hungry. read more
