Antler is a MICHELIN-recognized restaurant in Toronto’s Dundas West neighbourhood, co-founded by chef Michael Hunter and creative collaborator Jody Shapiro. Known for its thoughtful approach to Canadian cuisine, Antler celebrates local, seasonal, and wild ingredients through an evolved expression of Canadiana that reflects both place and the diverse influences that define modern Canadian cuisine.
“We always have a great experience at Antler. Amazing food, relaxed - yet still an upscale atmosphere, wonderful service, and… did I mention amazing food? The cocktails are pretty awesome too: strong without tasting strong, and each drink tastes unique compared to anything else I’ve had (the cedar sour & duck l’orange are both my favourites). At this point we’re pretty certain that you can’t find a bad thing on the menu, and feel so fortunate that we get to experience restaurants like this in Toronto where the staff truly knows what they’re doing when it comes to food - and they do it consistently well. If you’re someone who “eats with your eyes & nose”, you’ll be especially happy with your experience here.”
“We had a lovely dinner at Antler. Enjoyed the venison tartare and bison ribeye very much and the potato croquette it came with. The rabbit pappardelle was nice but quite rich. The star of the meal was the corn & caramel tart. It's been 5 months since my visit and I still think of it. Truly one of the best things I ate during my visit to Toronto. Never take it off the menu.”
“Antler Kitchen & Bar totally blew me away for my birthday dinner. We got the chef’s table with the tasting menu, and from start to finish, everything was beautifully made and super flavorful. Chef Alex and his crew made the night feel really special. He personally served us all evening, explained each dish with so much passion, and you could tell how much thought went into every little thing. The whole team was friendly, professional, and super attentive without ever being in the way. The food really highlighted tasty Canadian ingredients and wild-inspired dishes in such a fancy, creative way, and the timing of the tasting menu was spot on. The cocktails were amazing too – balanced, creative, and a perfect match for the food. The cozy, rustic vibe, open kitchen, and chill atmosphere made it a perfect spot for a special occasion, but it still felt comfy and down-to-earth. Honestly, it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Toronto, and I’m so thankful to Chef Alex and the team for making my birthday so memorable. I’d totally recommend Antler to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable night out.”
“We went here for the first time to celebrate my husband’s birthday & we opted for the Chef’s Table. We loved every minute of the experience and it was really unique having the chef’s set the tasting menu and not knowing what was next - added to the suspense and excitement of the evening! Every dish was so thoughtfully curated and explained in detail, that we struggled to pick a favourite. All the chef’s and staff were very friendly and welcoming. We’ve already recommended this place to friends and family and we will definitely be back!”
“We love Antler so much! Having been loyal customers for a long time, when we accepted a job in Australia, leaving Antler was on the “con” list…so we were very happy to squeeze in a dinner on our first visit back to Canada last month. As always the meal, service and atmosphere were really special. Although restaurants in Melbourne are great, there is only one Antler. Don’t miss it.”
