Don Alfonso 1890 Toronto Reviews
Don Alfonso is a Michelin-starred restaurant I first
Don Alfonso is a Michelin-starred restaurant I first experienced in Italy, and when I found out they had a Toronto location, I knew I had to come. Nestled inside a hotel with its own private elevator, the entire arrival experience already sets the to
We had a very personal happy event that we thought deserves
We had a very personal happy event that we thought deserves a special celebration with exceptional food - and decided that Don Alfonso would be the place! Overall, we had a very good experience. First of all, location. What a nice view. We were sea
Exquisite taste, smell and view
We came to celebrate our anniversary. It was a fantastic experience with the Toronto Islands view. The waiters and sommeliers were attentive. Each dish on the signature tasting menu smelled amazing and the flavours were well-balanced. We particul
It was my first time fine-dining and my first time
It was my first time fine-dining and my first time experiencing a Michelin-star restaurant. Definitely a very memorable meal. We opted for the A La Carte set. The service was truly top notch. Our server was so attentive and treated us with such c
Best birthday meal ever
For my birthday, the decision was made to enjoy a meal at Don Alfonso. What a great choice it turned out to be! The service is absolutely amazing and the food is very tasty with the presentation simply not seen elsewhere. We ordered from the Adhoc me
Birthday celebration
Elegant atmosphere. Views are phenomenal, even in the washroom! The courses were well paced and delicious, and our sommelier chose beautiful wine pairings for every single meal. Highly recommend for a special night out.
Impeccable
Traveled from Edmonton to Toronto with my Daughter to try Don Alfonso. Well worth the trip. The service was impeccable, the view was incredible. The drinks were great! We had the tasting menu. The food was the best we have had in Canada. Three months
Very disappointing -- quality seems to have dropped significantly
We went to Don Alfonso about 2 years ago and it was excellent, but we returned in July 2025 and it was...not good. The service was extremely inattentive and slow. The food was fine, but not particularly memorable. I don't know if we just got unl
The view here is spectacular.
The bathrooms are amazing and definitely part of the experience. The food... stunning presentation and tastes just as amazing! Staff were all so friendly and knowledgeable about the food and wines. We got wine pairing with our dinner. Was an amazing

A little disappointed
When eating at such a highly rated restaurant, you expect everything to be perfect. I think I was comparing my July visit to my previous experience a year ago and for that reason I was left a little disappointed. My biggest issue would be that the fo
Fine dining at the lake
Don Alfonso offers amazing view, excellent service and imaginative food. My wife picked the place for our date and it did not disappoint!
All to ourselves
Despite the fact, because of it, the bar and dining room was devoid of anyone bar ourselves and tge staff, we had a great time. Not only was the food excellent and served beautifully on our first night in the hotel but we learnt a lot about the hotel
This was hands down the best meal I've ever experienced.
It was beautifully plated, the staff was wonderful, and the food was exceptional. I had done the tasting menu, I am allergic to seafood and they allowed substitutions which I wasn't expecting. That made the experience even better as I thought I&

Second time here and the team continues to exceed expectation. The service is wonderful - with this being our second time we have a reference point. The menu is generally the same though with some substitutions we ended up tasting a new new dish

We dined at Don Alfonso for the second time on January 8, 2025, with high expectations, given its Michelin one-star status and strong reputation. During our previous visit, we had enjoyed the food and drinks while seated at the bar. However, this tim
Very good
Everything was very tasty and had a very good presentation, we went at 8:00 and left at 10:00 which meant that we go to experience it during the day and during the night, everything was amazing and it was very fun!!
Deliziosa
Sorprendente (Amazing). The view, the service, the attention to detail, and the food, deliziosa (delicious). It’s an experience that everyone must try.
Best restaurant experience ever
Excellent. We did the 10 course meal with wine pairings. Exquisite. Staff was impeccable. Loved the ambiance. The best restaurant experience I ever had. Can’t miss this place

Came here for a birthday and it did not disappoint.
The service didn't feel rushed with specific time slots, and the waitress took her time to explain everything. They were also attentive to the booking notes that we had an allergy and were celebrating a special day. The view is what people go for. Y
Spectacular experience from the tasting menu - highly
Spectacular experience from the tasting menu - highly recommend vs. the A la carte menu. Great service overlooking the lake. Thank you chef! Look up the menu online and guess the dishes from the photos. You'll get one for the bison.
This is a place to try at least once.
Come for the views and take in the ambience. The best part of this restaurant is the details in the decor. From the presentation of the food to the art displayed around the space. We enjoyed the lounge service and would come back for drinks as we h
Amazing food, amazing view and ambience.
Servers were very nice. Great special celebratory place.
Great food with a great view
We went there as two couples to celebrate a birthday. We had a great time, food was delicious and great service. We had a real memorable time. Make sure you take the correct elevator to go up, you get a nice special ride up.

Do my four stars equal a Michelin one star? Not sure, but this place was lovely. Stopped by the bar for a glass of wine and to enjoy the vibe and the view. Very expensive, but a unique experience. The staff were so friendly and invited us to take a w
Not Deserving of a Michelin Star Based on my Experience
The restaurant has a good view of lake Ontario, but we were not there for the view. Let's begin with very uncomfortable seating: large booth-like arrangements, where an average diner has to slip close to the table and sit upright with no back or a

Disappointing on flavours
honestly, not worthy of a Michelin star. We all did the tasting menu. Presentation was good but flavours were lacking. The canapés were bland which was our first tell tale of disappointment. Service was good, atmosphere was nice but food not qu

The view is AMAZING, one of the best in Toronto. The ambience is perfect and the service 💯, as well as the food. At the end of the menu my son asked secretly for a surprise because of my birthday, and offered a selection of sweets as also a Little

Amazing Restaurant!!!
Outstanding menu and the service is out of this world. We enjoyed their tasting menu with wine pairings and the overall experience was incredible. Best date night spot in the city by far! We will be back for sure.
An expensive disappointment
This past Sunday I took my wife to Don Alfonso’s restaurant for her birthday. Special occasion, really looking forward to it. Maybe our expectations were too high. We went with the a la carte menu, which with two drinks each, tax and tip clocked in
Absolutely stunning view.
Don't think you could go wrong with any of the seats at this restaurant! From the windowed elevator up to the seat, always a great view. Opted for the tasting menu and wine pairing. Menu included many dishes but the absolute show stopper for me had
Decent food with amazing view.
However this restaurant doesn't feel like a Michelin 1 star. Food was pretty standard and not very creative. The service was just so so - I had to pour my own wine couple times and the timing of each course was very inconsistent.
Michelin?
Really a noisy place. When one enters a Michelin star restaurant one expects more atmosphere and a better service less chaotic and better organized. Our tasting menu was really disappointing even the pasta was overcooked. Only Italian red Aglianico b

Dinner with Friends
A fantastic restaurant with great food, great service and great views over Toronto and Lake Ontario. An appropriately extensive wine and cocktail list matched the fine dining experience. All of our dishes were of the highest standard of ingredients,
Great service, average food.
We got the tasting menu and were very disappointed. I love seafood and this menu is based on a lot of it but some dishes were disgustingly fishy, almost close to spoilage. The cocktails were incredible and some of the food courses too. But more of th

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Don Alfonso 1890 Toronto at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Don Alfonso 1890 Toronto page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Don Alfonso 1890 Toronto to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Don Alfonso 1890 Toronto!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
