About Taline

Taline is a stunning two-storey restaurant in Toronto that offers Lebanese-Armenian cuisine. The friendly service, incredible menu, and sizeable portions continue to impress diners. Guests recommend trying the chef's menu with an Armenian wine pairing or a recommended bottle. The warm service, vibrant atmosphere, and excellent food and cocktails make it a must-visit spot for a spectacular dining experience.

The large Michelin-recommended sign at the entrance sets high expectations, and the experience often lives up to that. The service is nearly flawless—attentive, professional, and warm throughout the evening. The cocktails are a definite highlight: creative, well-balanced, and expertly crafted.

The restaurant also receives praise for its well-prepared lamb, fresh salads, and popular dishes like Eetch and Kaghamp (braised cabbage). Diners have enjoyed the phenomenal, seasonal, and authentic food, including the lamb with the heavenly sauce called jajekh and the fattoush salad. Many guests also appreciate the unique takes on pilaf and taboulee, and the Lebanese Red wine is highly recommended.

Recently, visitors have enjoyed the special collaboration with Chef Ara Azada, finding the curated menu fun and flavorful. The chef's menu often includes seven different dishes, all delicious and well explained by the friendly staff, especially for those new to Armenian food. Standout dishes include Armenian flatbread with dips, a salad with persimmons, open-faced dumplings, and traditional Armenian desserts. Although some mention a fish filet with many bones, most agree that Taline offers a memorable and distinct dining experience—highly recommended for a special night out.
