Does Toronto Have a Michelin Star?

Toronto is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in North America and its food scene reflects that. It’s become home to some of the most talented chefs in the world, who have brought their cultures and cuisines to the city’s streets. But does Toronto have a Michelin Star?

The answer is yes: Toronto currently has two restaurants with Michelin Stars. The first is Alo, located in downtown Toronto, which received its first star in 2016.

Alo serves modern French cuisine focusing on seasonality and sustainability. The restaurant also offers an extensive wine list from around the world.

The second Michelin-starred restaurant in Toronto is LEE, located in the city’s trendy Distillery District. LEE opened in 2014, and received its first star in 2018 for its modern Asian cuisine that combines elements from Chinese, Japanese and Korean cooking. The restaurant also offers an impressive selection of sake, wine and other drinks.

Conclusion: So while it may not have as many Michelin-starred restaurants as other cities around the world, Toronto has certainly made a name for itself on the culinary scene with two impressive establishments that have earned them a much-coveted Michelin Star each.
