Aloette Bay, located within CIBC Square, is the sister location to the beloved Michelin Recommended Aloette created by Chef Patrick Kriss. This new location mirrors the design and style of our Spadina location while adding a touch of sophistication that reflects the dynamic energy of its new neighbourhood.

Opened in 2024, Aloette Bay is conveniently situated just steps from Union Station, Scotiabank Arena, and the heart of downtown Toronto. Stop by to enjoy Aloette classics like the Aloette Burger, Fried Chicken, and Lemon Meringue Pie, or discover new soon-to-be favourites.

Aloette Bay's menu is bistro and diner inspired, perfect for a business lunch, happy hour, pre-game dinner and drinks, or date night. Aloette Bay also welcomes large party reservations.

Best place in town before an event at Scotiabank Arena. Don’t even need to go outside to reach the venue after your dinner. The menu is concise but executed with care, using ingredients of excellent quality. I had octopus carpaccio and beef tartare, both were perfect. Short selection of wine but It must be acknowledged that they were selected with professionalism, at a very fair price. Excellent cocktail list too. Exceptional service, always on time without being overly nor rushed. Another great location from that passionate team.

Charming spot with tasteful, modern decor and comfortable swivel chairs at the main bar. The staff were warm and knowledgeable, and Jerrica took great care of us while busy mixing cocktails. Outstanding food: tender, flavourful striploin, bright, inventive tuna tartare, and crispy squash bites that are mind-blowing—do not sleep on those! Big thanks to GM Jo and the team. Lively atmosphere and just steps from Scotiabank—a perfect pre-show dinner spot!

Experience was great overall, a couple of details, the sea bream was extremely undercooked and had to be sent back to the kitchen, and the waitress was a bit distracted overall, great place for a casual lunch. For business it is a bit noisy and tables are too close to each other, consider this.
