About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Lively
Good for special occasions

Violeté takes its name from the violet flower, found across Europe and long a symbol of simplicity, love, and warmth.

Like its name, Violeté is rooted in European tradition but not bound by borders — our menus draws inspiration from the kitchens of Italy and Spain, where food is recognized for its quality, simplicity, and connection to ingredients.

At its heart, Violeté is a reminder that the best meals are those shared with family, friends, and community.

Service was friendly and attentive. Best dishes were the croquettes, appetizer special of savoury donuts filled with fish mousse, white sauce potato pizza and pork cheeks. The gnocchi dish was average. Would come again to try dishes we didn't get a chance to order.

Going there for our girls dinner was a great experience! The vibe is great and the server was really nice. They have unique variations on classic cocktails (while also being very generous in replacing one that I had ordered but did not like) and European dishes. The burrata was delicious and it was nice to see it paired with something other than just tomatoes and balsamic glaze. The beef tartare was another favourite. Unfortunately we found the cod was a bit overcooked and the cavatelli a little bland, but this could have been a one off and there were plenty of other options that I look forward to trying next time. We really enjoyed sharing everything family style, which was a great way to try more dishes and it made the prices very reasonable.

Servers very attentive with great suggestions for wines and appetizers! Pizza was a little under cooked with unmelted cheese and warm and not "hot"! Gnocchi is the the highlight and was worth it!! Will return!!
