Antler Kitchen & Bar

Wow. The food at this place is incredible. I went with my fiancé for a special date night and we were blown away. It definitely lived up to the hype!

Our server was very attentive and lovely. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and the sourcing behind it. She could answer all of our questions regarding the wild ingredients, about the founding chef, and also gave us a thorough overview of their drink menu.

We got the bread with the truffle butter to share, which was one of the best appetizers I have ever tasted. I also got the Scallop Crudo, which was heaven in every bite. For our mains, I got the Venison pasta, while my fiancé got the Game Burger with the Antler Fries. It was so delicious, although very rich and filling. But I expected that, since venison is so rich; I happily took my leftovers home!

For drinks, I got the strawberry lemonade with mint, and my fiancé got an Old Fashioned. Both were very refreshing. For dessert, I got the lime cheesecake, which was so zesty and not too sweet. My fiancé got the smoked mousse cake, which just melted in the mouth.

This is a Michelin-starred restaurant, so it is expensive. But the food speaks for itself. Sustainably sourced, wild ingredients, this place utilizes some of the best Canada’s nature has to offer in its dishes. I highly recommend coming here for a fancy night out.

Our favourite restaurant anywhere, Antler features the best and most unique menus we've ever experienced. Both times we've been, we had an unforgettable meal and the most excellent dining experience.

Staff are incredible and lovely. The cocktails are superb. There isn't a single thing we've eaten at Antler that isn't beyond phenomenal. You can't go wrong here - if you've never been to Antler, make it your next special meal. You won't be disappointed.

This place got to Michelin guide (don't mess with Michelin star) for reason! Jumped in there occasionally on Saturday evening around 15.30 for a lunch and they were fully booked from 17 pm. We were proposed for a 1.5 hours seat which was acceptable.
Starting with the administring lady with nice british accent, we had outstanding experience there!
The menu is specialized on the wildlife meat - boar, elk? , valison. It's not usual for Toronto, and I must say it was delicious
Velison tartare was amazing - served with crunchy bread it was render & rich &
Wild Boar glazed cut - tender, flavourful, however, lean and not smelling like wildlife
Papardelle with velison in creamy mushroom sauce - so rich and thick I would like to see more meat in the plate - it was a bit poor.
Service - welcoming and hospitile
Atmosphere - calm, clean and authentic. They say it's too loud in the evening - I can't comment on this. It was quite when I visited it.

For a Michelin star restaurant, not what I expected. Service was casual and almost cold, food was decent but too strong on flavours that were not particularly enjoyable. Charcuterie board was great! Signature Smokey chocolates mouse tasted like a cigarette, and that’s coming from someone who loves mezcal.

Venison and elk tartare, bison steak, duck breast, boar burgers, scallop crudo.what more could you ask for? This is a hunter's buffet, an animal enjoyer's smorgasbord and a great variety of flavours. There's a reason this place is hard to get into, as the many prospective gourmands all want a taste of the Chef's fresh kills. HAPPY HUNTING.

I've yet to, but now shall, make your restaurant my next Toronto dining location.
Thanks for standing up for reality and know you've my, and my family's full support. We look very forward to grabbin' great eats at your joint.

Wow. The staff is so warm and friendly which perfectly matches the atmosphere of the whole space. I loved the open kitchen and I'm absolutely stunned by how efficiently the team operates. I began with the scallop crudo which words cannot describe: the flavors, textures, presentation were all better than I've had at multi-starred restaurants. The bartender recommended the bison ribeye so I ordered that and it was far better than I expected! To me, bison can be rather gamey but this steak melted in your mouth.

For those who can and do drink: the 'duck a l'orange' is one of the tastiest and most elegant cocktails I think I've ever had.

What a fabulous first time experience! I came with my cousin to celebrate her birthday and we wanted to try something different and all the dishes were excellent! We started with the venison tartar which was super tasty, then decided to give the foie gras a try (I think of all
the plates this was my least favourite only because I just didn’t find the flavour to my liking), and then we split the bucatini and the boar chop. The boar chop was amazing! The bucatini was also good, very different, the noodles were quite al dente but I think this did help capture the flavour of the dish. The service was on point and the Montepulciano red wine from Puglia was lovely. Thank you for the great experience!

Stumbled upon this place while thrift shopping and it was one of the better meals I had on my trip. The duck was cooked to perfection and everything served with it was really yummy. The duck hearts were an interesting dish but I would skip them next time. While some items on the menu are on the pricier side, the portions are healthy so it's worth the splurge.

Amazing. To sum up the experience in one word it would just be that.

Sitting at the chefs table was an amazing experience and having the opportunity to speak with the kitchen staff was a pleasure, the sous chef was super friendly, knowledgeable.

The food was top notch, we had the charcuterie board and bison steaks. Both were incredible.

Desserts were immaculate, and the drinks are to die for.

One of the best in Toronto, a must try!

One of my favourite restaurants in Toronto, happy to return after being out of the city. Sudhan served me at the bar and was an absolute pro, very helpful and accommodating. Boar Chop was incredible.

Impressed by the food, happy with the service and their knowledge of what they serve, comfortable in the ambiance. Try the feature, definitely worth it.

I absolutely love what this restaurant is about! I saw a video online of protesters outside the restaurant and the owner handled it like an absolute campion. I plan on making a trip to Toronto from Denver to come check it out in a couple months! Keep up the good work guys!

I visited to celebrate my birthday. This is one of the stores I've always wanted to go to. The server was really kind and explained everything about the unusual meat menu. The daily cocktails were refreshing and delicious. (I forgot the name, but it's a lamb-based lime) I had VENISON TARTARE, ALBERTA BISON RIB EYE and BOAR CHOP. Everything was fresh and delicious. The prices are high for rare dishes, actually I can't come here very often but it was wonderful experience.

This place is amazing. The bison steak is $75 but it's worth it. The duck - delicious. Alcohol - wonderful. The only set back is I wish they gave more maple truffle butter with their bread (kind of wish they revert back to just maple butter so that I could have more). Besides the things mentioned, the staff are lovely and the vibe is beautifully romantic. You should come here:)

Wonderful food - highly recommend the duck hearts and boar chop! Would defo return to try other bits on the menu!

Chef Hunter defines Canadian cooking. Grab the chefs table and be ready to have the best Canada has to offer. Thank you FOH for accommodating my request. I will be back. I'm still thinking about that charcuterie, the boar chop and the duck. Oh I will be back.

The service was absolutely amazing. The food? Even better! They really took care of us tonight, and we will definitely be back!

We have visited Antler on three occasions and every time it was outstanding. On our last visit we had the Elk tarare which melted in our mouths, the venison loin chop which was cooked to perfection and the spaghetti chitarra which was incredibly flavorful Although it is a high price point restaurant it is one of the few where you get your moneys worth. The staff are always friendly and knowledgable.

Overrated and crowded
- you request a standard table and they try to put you in the bar seat - the person organizing the seating needs to do better
- chef overcooked the burger to the point it was dry and inedible
- Chef also poisoned the fries with over salting. I like salty fries but I may as well drank sea water
- Tartare was the only good dish but not worth the hype

Finally got to try this place after being on my list of to go places for a while. If you like game meat or something different, this is the place to be. You have expert hands making food and what they can do with meats not normally available at typical restaurants is just great. Now, nothing mind blowing, but a solid place where you need to try especially if you are ok with game meat. We had the wild boar chops and they were lovely. Fries and veg sides good. All in all, had a great meal and worth checking out.

As always, absolutely incredible. My partner and I love coming here on special occasions.

We celebrated a milestone on our most recent visit and they spoiled us at the chef's table with treats, pallet cleansers, great recommendations and some surprise desserts to celebrate.

The food quality is absolutely incredible here with an incredible and friendly service to match.

Highly recommend.

My husband and I visited antler on the eve of our wedding. We had to cancel our reception due to COVID and decided we wanted to commemorate our special day at Antler. We've been here before for other special occasions and the food/ambiance was so special, it was fitting to celebrate our union here as well. When we arrived, we were greeted by the loveliest people who congratulated us and were provided free canapes and champagne as a gift. Totally unexpected. The staff and chef at Antler made our wedding day that much more special and we can't thank them enough for treating us the way they did.

Everything at Antler was delicious. We had the bison steak and it was mouthwatering. Highly recommend! We ended the meal with the chocolate mousse and it was the perfect, sweet treat to end the night. Our experience here was amazing and the food was just superb. Thank you Antler for it all!
