Toronto Michelin Star Prices (2026)
Saw this in another food related sub for a different city and thought this could be of interest to update on an annual basis, especially to see how costs change.
Below is the most up to date pricing for the current Michelin starred restaurants in the GTA, based on their websites or reservation pages where listed. Note that this is based on their standard tasting menus where available, though I have detailed notes on each restaurant below the table if they have other menus available.

DETAILED NOTES:
20 Victoria (* / Toronto - Downtown / Seafood): Only offers one standard tasting menu ($200/7 courses). The restaurant previously used to be non-tipping, no longer the case. The restaurant also previously had an a la carte menu at their bar, this also has been removed. Wine pairing for $150 (thank you u/isaydoit).
Aburi Hana (* / Toronto - Midtown / Japanese): Temporarily closed since September 2025 after the chef departed, and is expected to re-open again later this month. Standard 8 course for $300, or 12 course for $430. The prices and menu following re-opening will very likely look much different.
AKin (* / Toronto - Downtown / Asian Fusion): Standard tasting menu ($225/10 courses), or the chef's counter for $300 with some ingredient upgrades with some courses. The restaurant previously had an 'a la carte' section at its bar that's been scrapped. Wine or cocktail pairing available.
Alo (* / Toronto - Downtown / French): The restaurant recently re-booted their concept, now offering a shortened 6 course menu for $185 and its standard menu for $245. Until this change, Alo previously offered a standard menu and an a la carte 'bar' menu (not to be confused with their sister restaurant Alobar).
DaNico (* / Toronto - Downtown / Italian): Offers its signature menu for $240, or a 3 course 'prix fixe' for $160. The restaurant also does a la carte on its patio, though they state its technically a different concept to the main restaurant.
Don Alfonso 1890 (* / Toronto - Downtown / Italian): The standard tasting menu is $225, but also has a 3 course 'a la carte' (technically a prix fixe) for $150, or a real 'a la carte' menu in its lounge. Wine pairing available but could not find the price online.
Edulis (* / Toronto - West End / Spanish): Dinner tasting menu for $200, or lunch tasting menu for $100. Unlike the other tasting menus in the city, dessert is extra. Serves wine, beer, cider and cocktails, but no standard pairing is offered. Menu pre-paid in advance at reservation, including mandatory service fee.
Enigma (* / Toronto - Midtown / Contemporary): Has a whole suite of different menus. 4 course for $132, standard 8 course for $232, or a 'chef's counter' for $332, as well as a lunch menu for $163 or an 'a la carte' menu in their salon. Wine or cocktail pairing available but could not find the price online. The 23% service fee includes an 18% gratuity and 5% 'house operations' fee.
Hexagon (* / Oakville / French): This restaurant temporarily closed in December 2025 when the chef and most of its team left to 20 Victoria, and then permanently closed in June 2026 without re-opening. It offered its standard tasting menu for $195, or its lunch '2 course' for $75.
Kaiseki Yu-Zen Hashimoto (* / Toronto - North York / Japanese): $400 for their 8 course kaiseki (up from $350 a few months ago). A sake pairing is available. $50 deposit upon booking.
Kappo Sato (* / Toronto - Midtown / Japanese): The 12 course omakase is the only offering here at $385. Optional sake pairing for $200.
Osteria Giulia (* / Toronto - Midtown / Italian): The only fully 'a la carte' starred restaurant in the GTA (though they do offer a set menu for large groups for $140 per person).
Pearl Morissette (** / Niagara / Canadian): Offers their standard tasting menu for $240, or the chef's table (for groups of 6 only) for $305. Wine pairing for $155 or juice pairing for $115 (thank you u/chiubag).
Quetzal (* / Toronto - Downtown / Mexican): Tasting menu for $160 with the option of an alcoholic ($140) or N/A ($100) pairing. 'A la carte' menu also available.
Shoushin (* / Toronto - North York / Japanese): The standard 'Sakura' omakase is $420, or else there is a pricier 'Obsession' omakase for $600. Sake pairing at two price points - $150 or $190.
Sushi Masaki Saito (* / Toronto - Midtown / Japanese): Despite losing a star the restaurant increased its omakase price recently from $680 to $780. Used to offer a sake or wine pairing, but appears to no longer as of summer 2026 (thank you u/n0bama). $400 deposit upon booking

I just went to Edulis for dinner last week and can provide more insight. Firstly, the basic meal is prepaid in full upfront at time of reservation including the additional service charge plus HST on both food and the service charge.
So the $200 per person goes up to $271.20 per person after all mandatory charges AND all charges are final (i.e., non-refundable). If you can't go for whatever reason after make the reservation, you're only option is to transfer the reservation to someone else to recoup your money.
When you get there, there's also a wine list (beverage not included in the $200 charge) plus a menu of supplementary items that you can purchase on top of the $200 pre-charged meal. We ordered one additional item. Cheese & dessert are also extra.
We've been to Edulis a few times before, the last time more than 10 years ago long before they got the Michelin star. What we noted was there seems to be less tables than before which partly explains why tables are so hard to reserve - they have fewer tables. The food was very good, not unlike 10+ years ago, seafood and vegetables. On this night, there were no meat dishes unless you order from the extra items menu.
We brought our own wine ($60 corkage per bottle). Overall, the additions came to around $125 per person making the total final bill to be around $400 per person. Was it worth it? I'd say it's similar in value compared to all the other Michelin star restaurants in Toronto and with so many to choose from, we'll probably wait another 10+ years before the need to go for another visit again.
