• Contemporary Indian • Financial District
Booked 12 times today
Punch is the spirit of modern London; not Indian, not British, but a beautiful tapestry woven together. Alive, layered, and impossible to pin down. It carries the weight of its past with the urgency of its future, where tailored suits brush shoulders with inked sleeves, and refinement feels charged with imagination. Indian culture runs through its bloodstream, a spiced fragrance woven into the city’s rhythm, infusing storytelling, craft, and comfort, with new vitality. At Punch, we bow to the traditions of Indian aunties and British mums, yet we follow guidelines, not recipes, creating something fresh, confident, and unexpected. We are everyday luxury; sophisticated yet playful, posh yet grounded, experimental yet timeless. A place where history is honoured, but never confined, and where every dish and cocktail feels like a reflection of London today. Fancy a taste? Come around and see what all the fuss is about.

• Bistro • Entertainment District

Opened in 2017. Michelin-recommended since 2022."We first imagined Aloette to be the perfect diner that we’d want to dine in – a menu with a great burger paired with a fantastic and fun wine list, a long row of bar stools facing the bar and the kitchen, and an energetic atmosphere accented with an old school hip hop playlist. The buzz of the dining room mirrors the energy of the street on Spadina Avenue; the dining room itself mimics a train’s dining car. It’s kind-of-a-bistro and kind-of-a-diner with an internationally inspired menu which is representative of the diverse cultures in Toronto.Brunch at Aloette was something we said we’d never do. But the city kept asking and we’re glad to be a new staple in the Queen West neighbourhood for mimosas, chicken and waffles, and piping hot coffees.

Critically acclaimed to be among Canada’s best restaurants, Canoe's unique location high atop the TD Bank Tower affords a breathtaking view of the city and Lake Ontario. The design, originally conceptualized by noted designers Yabu Pushelberg and most recently refreshed by Solid Design Creative, is clean and simple, yet absolutely stylish - a brilliant reflection of Canada's rich raw environment. That same brilliance is captured through the flavours and textures of inspired regional Canadian cuisine.

    Punch offers a well-executed fusion of Indian and British cuisine in a refined, elegant setting. The ambiance is refined with illuminated wine displays, and beautifully set tables, creating an intimate and upscale dining experience. We started with the Scotch egg, which featured a crisp exterior and a flavourful center. While slightly saltier than my preference, it was still enjoyable. The fish and chips were excellent. The haddock was light, flaky, and perfectly cooked, and the chips (more like home fries), were satisfying. The tartar sauce had a subtle Indian-inspired twist, adding an interesting layer to the dish. The biryani, which we were informed when we ordered, required extra preparation time, was well worth the wait. Presented sealed under a dough crust and mixed tableside, it delivered authentic, aromatic flavours, and was enjoyed after we had shared the fish and chips. Dessert was a highlight as well. The sticky toffee pudding was rich, moist, and an excellent finish to the meal. Overall, Punch blends British and Indian influences with creativity. The concept works well and the atmosphere elevates the entire experience. The service was excellent, from the bartender who we went to until our table was ready, to our attentive waitress, who was knowledgeable and helpful as we ordered our meals. Highly recommended.

    I had gone to Luma with a friend after not being in the restaurant for over five years, it was incredible! The food in the service are impeccable. Everyone is so warm when they’re greeting you at the door to when you’re seated in your section we felt really well taken care of! I would highly recommend coming for amazing seafood, and pasta! Thank you to our server Michelle! You were a superstar!
