Quetzal
A one-Michelin-starred Mexican restaurant where almost every dish is prepared over a long wood-fired hearth, offering a more relaxed vibe than typical starred spots.
Located on College Street, Quetzal retained its one Michelin star in 2026 and was named the highest-ranking Toronto restaurant on Canada's 100 Best list. The open kitchen features an 8-meter wood-fired hearth, infusing almost every dish with a smoky aroma. Signature dishes include sikil pak (pumpkin seed dip), dry-aged amberjack aguachile, and pork al pastor. Diners can order à la carte or choose the tasting menu, which starts at around CAD 105-130 depending on the source. Reservations are highly recommended. Seats near the hearth can get quite warm, as noted by some diners. Streetcars stop right outside the door.
