Yorkville 

Nestled just beyond the fringes of Toronto’s downtown core, Yorkville is a microcosm of urbane splendour. Bordered by the revered mink mile – the city’s premier destination for upscale retail, Yorkville is a world-renowned enclave of prosperity and high culture. 

Given Yorkville’s affluent reputation, it is perhaps only natural that the neighbourhood would cater to diners with refined tastes. As an extension of this, Yorkville boasts a higher density of Michelin-starred establishments than any other neighbourhood in Toronto – with four of the city’s thirteen recognized restaurants being located there. 

Yorkville is home to Alobar, a stunning, first-class bistro serving a refined modern take on traditional French cuisine. One of the city’s inaugural Michelin-starred establishments, Alobar has cemented itself as an icon in Toronto’s high-end culinary landscape. Other Michelin-starred restaurants in the neighbourhood, Osteria Guilia, Aburi Hana, and Enigma Yorkville have further fortified the area’s elite status.

However, in addition to the neighbourhood’s widely celebrated artistic insulations, King West and the adjacent Entertainment District also boast a wide selection of vibrant culinary offerings. 

Taking inspiration from the community’s artistic backdrop, local chefs and artisans continuously redefine the boundaries of culinary excellence, fusing inspiration from multiple cuisines around the world.
