We had lunch at Canoe Restaurant, located on the 54th floor of TD Tower. The restaurant is known for its sweeping views of downtown Toronto, though on the winter day we visited it was quite cloudy, so the scenery was somewhat muted.
The atmosphere was fairly formal and seemed to cater mainly to the executive crowd working in the downtown core. Service was friendly and professional, though a little rushed at times.
We ordered the lunch prix fixe menu. For appetizers, we tried the stracciatella, and I especially enjoyed the roasted grapes, which added a lovely sweetness. I would highly recommend the smoked trout tartare—it was fresh, flavourful. For mains, the Atlantic salmon was good but nothing particularly memorable, while the confit duck leg was savoury but slightly dry.
Overall, we enjoyed our lunch experience. Canoe is a great place to take in views of downtown Toronto from above—especially when the weather cooperates—and offers good food in an elegant setting.

Had my first experience dining at canoe yesterday. We went for winterlicious because we thought that was actually a good deal relative to the prices of the original menu. On the winterlicious menu we got the beef tartare, the Alberta beef and I got the chocolate tart and my partner got the pudding. What I will say is the food is good, it was tasty, but also factoring the price in mind I was not AMAZED. But it was good. Also service was good, but also not amazing, the hospitality didn’t feel the warmest but not bad by any means. The beef tartare had a good amount of beef, it was a little bit salty but overall pretty good. I thought the Alberta beef was pretty good too, the mashed potatoes were very creamy and soft and I enjoyed the subtle taste of truffle. For sure get the medium rare and not the medium. I got a medium and it was kind of well done. For dessert I loved the taste of the orange in the chocolate but I do feel like the dessert itself was a bit hard. The view and atmosphere was amazing. Views are great especially during sunset.

Came here for winterlicious. It’s located on 54th floor at TD Centre, no doubt the view and the set up was stunning but the food and service were way below. I don’t know if it’s because of winterlicious but the whole experience left much to be desired. Food was ok but not memorable. I liked the beef tartare and pork terrine. Didn’t like the Alberta beef, except the sauce Diane was good. Salmon was pretty standard. Chocolate tart was good, pavlova was very small. In general the portions were quite small for us in my opinion, we had to order some bread and fries to complete our meal on top of the set menu. Maybe having the tasting menu will be better experience than having winterlicious.
Service was efficient but impersonal, as it was previously mentioned by other reviewers, there was little sense of hospitality. The overall experience didn’t meet the expectations of a fine dining establishment.

Winterlicious Review
I recently dined at Canoe for Winterlicious and overall had a decent experience, but with several misses that would make me think twice before returning, especially if seated in the same area again.The food was generally tasty and met most of my expectations. The chocolate tart, while rich and enjoyable, felt quite heavy on its own; a simple scoop of ice cream would have gone a long way in balancing the dish, much like what Daniel Boulud does with many of his desserts. That small addition could have elevated the dessert from good to memorable.The beet salad, on the other hand, was underwhelming. It was fairly basic with minimal ingredients and didn’t bring anything particularly exciting in terms of flavour or texture. My main, the crispy pork belly, showcased the meat nicely and it was clearly the star of the plate. However, the supporting elements on the dish didn’t provide enough contrast or freshness to cut through the greasiness, which made the overall plate feel a bit one-dimensional.Service was another area that fell short. While our server did check in to ask if everything was okay, the interaction felt very transactional and robotic. It seemed like she was too busy to genuinely stop and listen, which detracted from the hospitality aspect of the meal. I do recognize that Winterlicious service can be hectic, but even brief moments of authentic engagement go a long way at this level of dining.My biggest concern, though, was the environment at our table. There appears to be a felt-woven ceiling feature above the dining area, and throughout the meal dust was visibly accumulating on our table and, worse, dropping into our drinks and food over time. This is a serious turnoff in any restaurant, let alone one that trades heavily on its premium image and stunning 54th-floor views. As it stands, I would not return if I knew I’d be seated in that section again, which is unfortunate because the view over the city is one of Canoe’s biggest draws.In summary, Canoe delivered on flavour in parts, but the combination of underwhelming supporting dishes, robotic service, and a noticeably dusty dining environment made the experience fall short of what I would expect from a restaurant of this calibre

I took my mom to Canoe for her Birthday in December. It was absolutely a phenomenal experience. I booked an early time as their website said window seats fill up quick. I also made sure to indicate it was her birthday on the booking. They had a cute little sign on the table for her.
The atmosphere was great and the service was excellent. When they brought the food to the table the explained the plate. The portion sizes were perfect. It’s quality over quality at this place and after reading some of the other reviews it was clear some people didn’t bother to review the menu or site before booking. An appetizer and entree filled us up and we split a desert.
It was slightly more casual than I expected but again that ranged from table to table. Some tables were in suit and tie and some had people with hoodies. That didn’t affect my dining experience though.
Overall HIGHLY recommend to treat yourself or someone else.

Visited for Winterlicious lunch. The view was stunning. We’re lucky that we got a standard seat next to the window with the unbeatable view. The food was properly cooked but not impressive. I liked the dessert very much but the portion was tiny. The restaurant was a bit noisy for me but it’s quite standard for this kind of restaurant. The service was professional but a bit cold. Overall a great experience but it’s quite pricey. I guess we paid extra for the view.

We came here for a private dinner–a birthday celebration for my friend. It was a very well-planned event, apart from some delays, and our server was very polite and respectful. Since it was a private dinner apart from the main restaurant, we had a set dinner menu. For this dinner menu, we were given 2-3 options each for appetizers, entrees, and dessert, and there were 4 drink options. The server getting our orders was very smooth and straight-forward.
The food took a while to come out, which is expected since we were a group of 15. The best part of the entire dinner was literally the bread and onion soup appetizer. The bread was warm and the butter was salted, and the onion soup wasn’t pungently onion but had little strips of caramelized onion at the bottom of a creamy thin soup. Unfortunately, the rest of the dinner didn’t meet expectations. The shared apps (mushrooms, asparagus, lettuce in dressing) were pretty good, but the asparagus had a sour dressing on it that didn’t match the tone of the food. For the entree, I got salmon, and it was very bland, and just sitting in a pool of watery cream sauce. The tastiest part was the cauliflower, but I was saddened to bite into the crispy skin only for it to bend and fold in my mouth rather than split apart crunchily. The beef filet was pretty good tho, and cooked to a perfect medium rare. For dessert, the chocolate ganache tart felt very dry and one-sided in terms of flavour and texture. I didn’t taste any orange in it at all, the tart shell was super dry and sandy in my mouth, and the ganache filling was too overpowering and heavy. There should’ve been another texture on the tart, like a plump fruit or crunchy bits on top, bc the whipped cream topping did nothing for me and the ganache was coating my entire mouth and making me gag. I didn’t finish it, and I hate to waste food. On the other hand, the cocktails were really good so shoutout to the bartenders.
For such a popular high-end restaurant, I expected to be blown away by the quality and taste of everything. It’s true the food was of good quality and you can tell they care about putting whole foods on the table, but they didn’t do it justice with how poorly tasting most of it was. Maybe I’m just not a fan of white people food, or maybe they struggled with making so much for one party? Either way I don’t get the hype for this place and I wouldn’t wanna bring a date here either lol, albeit the view is to die for especially at night with the cityscape all lit up.

We did the Winterlicious menu at Canoe and it was great. Every course was thoughtfully put together and beautifully presented, with flavours that really highlighted Canadian ingredients. The service was polished without feeling stuffy, and the views alone make it worth it. For Winterlicious, it felt like excellent value for the quality and experience. Would absolutely recommend and would happily go back.

Great view and great food. We came to celebrate our anniversary and they gave us a little card (nice touch). Recommend the burrata as an appetizer and the pumpkin dessert. The mushroom risone was very flavourful but heavy, so recommend sharing it alongside another main. Our parking for the evening was validated by the restaurant (another nice touch that’s rare in downtown Toronto).

Ate the taste of canoe as it was my birthday. Extremely impressed by the elevated taste in the food.
I would say the service was great but everything came on time. The time in between the courses was perfect. Did not leave us hungry or waiting for too long.
The squab was perfectly cooked.
The dessert was a bit underwhelming, otherwise all courses were great and the their tasting menu was satisfying for my wife who’s a vegetarian which isn’t the case in most restaurants.
They need to work on the front office staff that welcomes guests. It was my birthday and we arrived on time and tables for everyone who came after us were ready but not for us. The person there was a bit rude while making us wait. For a moment I wanted to leave but then the staff at the table and the kitchen saved the day with their service.
