After many years of waiting, I finally got to try Quetzal! This was a company celebration, so although I didn't personally pay out of pocket, I didn't feel that this restaurant was worth it at its price point. We got the tasting menu plus t
Wonderful restaurant.
As you enter you smell this beautiful smoky aroma and then your eyes go to the bar and the open kitchen and you are drawn inside. The servers are helpful and the food is excellent. We took their curated menu and really enjoyed the dishes. Like my wif

My partner and I came for a birthday dinner and opted for the curated menu ($145 pp). I would honestly not recommend the curated menu, as it's not like a traditional tasting menu... they ask you if there are any dishes in particular that you wou
Incredible food, truly worthy of its Michelin star.
Dry Aged Hiramasa Aguachile (9/10): An amazing starter. The textures and flavors of each bite are so well-balanced. I loved the foam. The amberjack was so tender and delicious. Scallop Ceviche (9/10): DELICIOUS scallops. Truly amazing sauce and the

Amazing.
It has a Michelin star for a reason but it's not a pretentious place. Excellent service. Food is pricey but amazing and good portions. Highlights were the Newfoundland scallops and the asparagus. Worth balling out here!

The ventilation in this restaurant is not good.
There was so much smoke from the stove, that my lungs and eyes were pretty irritated. Also so noisy! Luckily we were next to the chefs (and smoke) so I could at least hear my dinner companion. Service was attentive, probably Michelin-caliber. Air and

Reading people's reviews about "I have eaten at Michelin or fine dining restaurants all around the world," yet they have barely any reviews or pictures. That's laughable. Frankly, those are the people that I would avoid listening to. Like t

A forgettable meal that fell well short of Michelin-starred expectations. Almost all the dishes I tried were well-presented, but perhaps at the cost of flavour as their dishes felt underseasoned and/or imbalanced - with the exception of the octopus d
Good food and cool experience sitting at the chef's table.
Our tasting menu experience included more notably the ceviche, quesadilla, fresh tortilla with lamb & mushrooms, 2 scallop dishes (wish they were bigger), sweetbread, and Tres Leches at the end. For $120pp I wish I got to try something more exc

We did the tasting menu which was $120pp.
Great ambiance. It recently got 1 star Michelin. The service was over the top and everyone was very attentive. Portions are small though I left feeling a bit hungry still. Cocktails are great here so definitely indulge in a few of those.
Quetzal exceeded all expectations.
We booked a table for three on a Sunday night weeks in advance. The culinary journey was a masterpiece - from the delectable amberjack agua chile and scallop ceviche to the flavorful mushroom and shishito, tlayuda masa, octopus, and mouthwatering por

What a great experience of food, from my first bite to my last. I loved every dish as everything was prepared perfectly. The server was the best. It's been a while since I enjoyed such a fine meal.
Great experience.
One of the best Mexican spots I have tried in Toronto. The scallops blew my mind so I highly recommend that dish. The masa dishes also excellent. The service was great and the place is pretty. I sat at the chefs counter which had a great atmosphere a

One of the most incredible meals of my life. Amazing mushroom dish, Al pastor, tortillas, lamb, honestly everything was amazing. The meal was made even better by Petra, who had fabulous recommendations for the meal and our visit to Toronto (visiting
Awful- don’t do it
Horrific service. Awful food. Highly overrated. We were forgotten about several times, yet still managed a $500 bill. Saves yourselves and go to a restaurant that values customers
Wonderful Nouveau Mexican fare at this Michelin 1 star establishment!
Wonderful nouveau Mexican food in the College/Bathurst area. Good luck getting a reservation after Michelin awarded it a 1-star. Staff friendly, try the Tasting Menu starting at $105/person. Good value and lots of food. Good luck and enjoy!
Outstanding
Extraprdinary good experience at Quetzal. We had a table at the kitchen desk and the atmosphere was really nice. Food was outstanding.
Disappointing
After trying a few dishes, I don’t have much faith in how a restaurant obtains a Michelin star status. We frequent a lot of restaurants and the food here was well below average. The decor was appealing but be prepared that you will smell of smoke f

Top notch.
Sure the food is great.Sure the service is eerily perfect.Sure the wine offerings are unique and well paired.Sure the name is unpronounceable.But you leave here smelling like fire. And that olfactory sensation makes this a true five sense feast.

We cane here for birthday celebrations, since they open at 6, so we came right at 6 without a reservation, and got seated immediately.The staff were very welcoming and attentive, also provided us useful recommendations as we were the first time here.
Outstanding treat
We were out sans kids for a treat for my birthday. Hubbo had booked months in advance and deliberately booked the bar where I could watch the kitchen. We spent so much time over the pandemic having 'underwhelming food' I now realize and remember ho

Thoroughly enjoyed Quetzal - would be perfect for a nice dinner and drinks.Location: On college, almost right at the corner of College and Bathurst. Street parking is a little hard to find, but circle a few times and it'll be okay. Or take the TTC.
Dinner
Very average. Not worth 100 words. Not Micheline star. Clearly they need to review what they are doing. Again very average, not worth repeat visit.
Found in the most unexpected of places, Quetzal highlights
Found in the most unexpected of places, Quetzal highlights the flavoursfrom various regions of Mexico such as Oaxaca, Puebla etc. elevating them and showing why they are deserving of a Michelin star. The architecture of Quetzal is simply breathtaking

Wow. Just wow. I visited before this place became Michelin star, so I wonder how difficult it may be now to get a reservation. Glad I had the chance to go earlier this year. Not too many things to order here for a halal foodie - that being said the f
Quetzal has definitely earned its Michelin Star.
We came with a group of five not knowing they recently were awarded a Michelin Star (1 star) and we were blown away by the food.For appetizers, we ordered the dryed aged amberjack aguachile (fish), the empanada oaxaquena (lamb empanada), and the tlay
Connect with users posting reservations for Quetzal Toronto
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Quetzal Toronto. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Quetzal Toronto at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Quetzal Toronto page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Quetzal Toronto to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Quetzal Toronto!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
