My wife and I dined privately at El Tenedor. From the moment we entered to the moment we walked out, everything was absolute perfection. From the warm personal greeting, to the intimate atmosphere, to the creative and delicious courses (completely up to the chef/owner - we had no idea what we’d be eating until each course was served), to the wine pairings, to the top shelf table service, to the music, to the… you get the idea.At some fine restaurants, you get great food and service but for some reason it’s not so easy to find joy in the experience. At El Tenedor, my wife and I found ourselves smiling and laughing, simply because the combination of it all made us so HAPPY! Five stars doesn’t say enough for how good this place is.

We had the restaurant to ourselves so we had a cozy private dining. The dishes are creative and the chef delivered each plate and explained each dish in detail. Lovely food and experience.

I really love this place. To me it's one of the best restaraunts in this city. Best kept secret to be sure. Update: still the best restaraunt in town

We celebrated our anniversary at El Tenedor with Chef Cesar and his chef table experience. The whole evening was special, from the warm greeting to the intimate setting with just us, Chef and server, candle lit and soft music. We had the Chef experience with wine tasting. All the dishes were really wonderful and fresh with fantastic flavours. The wines were beautifully paired to enhance the food experience. It was a beautiful and special evening. We look forward to returning. Thank you Chef Cesar!!

One of the best meals we have ever had in Toronto (and elsewhere)! Phenomenal and innovative dishes, amazing service, and had a great time chatting with the Chef! We will absolutely be coming back soon for another very special evening.

Fantastic experience with Cesar, the chef.

Just one table and one seating so we had the restaurant to ourselves. 5 course meal, lamb or lobster for the main. Wine was very reasonably priced. Will definitely return with a bigger group next time.
Truly outstanding experience. I booked a dinner for me and my partner on a Friday night, not realizing how small and intimate this restaurant was, which is currently only accepting one dinner a night. The service and timing of the meals was spectacular, and the food was delicious and went together so well with the wine pairings. Every dish was delicious and made with care. I would list my favorites, but I truly loved each dish, including the bread with the great duck fat spread. We had such a great time, highly recommend for anyone to come here for a special occasion, you won't be disappointed.

Everything was wonderful! The service was stellar. The food was culinary innovation at it's very best. My wife and I enjoyed the following dishes best. Pear, olive tapenade, brown butter-radish Coquilles St-Jacques Florentine Cod Bouillabaisse – piquillo rouille (Bouillabaisse de morue) We truly look forward to going back to this place

Every single aspect of this experience surpassed our expectations. From the food to the service was just impeccable. Our server was attentive to everything that was happening at our table, the food was just amazing and Ceasar was an incredible host. It has been a long time since I have experienced anything this spectacular. Definitely a place to celebrate a special event.

This is by far the best restaurant I have been to in Toronto since I came here in 2007. The food is delicious, the chef was very attentive and funny and overall the ambiance is to die for
