Ten Restaurant

Had an absolutely incredible dining experience at Ten. The service truly went above and beyond, the atmosphere is cozy and intimate, the attention to detail is outstanding, and the food of course was delicious!! We loved every single course and appreciated that every element on the plate was so intentional and added to the dish. Sitting at the chef's counter is such a unique experience, and an all vegetarian menu that highlights and elevates seasonal vegetables is difficult to do well, but Ten executes it perfectly with every dish. We had the wine pairing with our meal, and Sophie explained every wine with such knowledge. If you are wanting to add the wine pairing, I would highly recommend it! We are not usually wine lovers, but it was super fun to try so many different wines and see how they complimented each food course. We will definitely be returning the next time we visit Toront! Thank you for such a perfect birthday dinner. Will be recommending to everyone we know!!

Absolutely amazing. We had an allergy request and not only did the accommodate this 100.pecent with 3 incredible alternatives but even took the time to deliver a specific menu for that concern. TEN is Absolutely a must in Toronto.

What a wonderful experience. It was my first time here to this small ten seater restaurant as per the name. From start to finish we spent about 2.5 hours, because we had a lovely time talking to the other guests and to the chefs. Chef Julian has such a creative mind bringing vegetables to the forefront, and WOW, did each and every dish have so much flavour, I never thought vegetables could taste that good. Zel the assistant chef was so kind and passionate about the concept. The open concept kitchen allows you to see every dish being prepared. We opted in to the wine pairing, and the sommelier Rebecca truly was so knowledgable, each wine was so different from the last and paired well with each dish. Truly a lovely experience, with some of the most tasty vegetable forward food. Definitely worth the experience.

Ten out of ten for Ten Restaurant. I was a little worried about a fully vegetarian menu but once we received our first dish, I forgot what meat even is. Everything is local and seasonal and the team designs these dishes with lots of creativity. Would definitely love to return in another season to see what's in store. Staff and atmosphere are wonderful as well, wouldn't be surprised to see a star coming soon

I’m falling short of words to describe how mind-blowing and palate-pleasing the experience here was. This isn’t food. It’s art and you should come here if you appreciate the art of ingredient pairing. All flavours we tried were so unique. It was a vegetarian menu made with locally sourced seasonal ingredients from farms in Ontario (Niagara & green-belt) and Upper NY region. The restaurant is Michelin-guide featured and I hope it gets a Michelin-Star someday.

We tried out this vegan restaurant the other day, and it was quite an interesting experience. They serve a ten-course set menu, starting with a snack that really sets the mood. The thing I liked most was how they didn't try to mimic meat flavors but instead got creative with veggies to bring out some really delicious and balanced tastes. I mean, I'm usually someone who enjoys a bit of meat in my meals, and even though I left feeling pretty full, there was still this tiny craving for some meat at the end. But overall, it was a satisfying meal, and both me and my sister felt good about it, especially for our gut health lol. It's definitely worth checking out if you're into exploring different flavors and textures in vegan cuisine.

First time experiencing a vegetable-forward restaurant and it did not disappoint. They really do the vegetables justice and make them the star of each dish. Not once throughout this meal I wished for meat to be on the menu. The mushroom ice cream in particular was fantastic - I could have 10 bowls of just that and be content. Note that it may not be 100% vegetarian as one of our courses had a fish component. Will hopefully, and definitely, return another day when there’s a new tasting menu.

Hats off to Chef Julian, Rebecca the sommelier and their Team. Having being back here repeated times, the innovation and development of a complex flavour profile continues to be explemplary and I love coming here. -- I feel the 5 star rating is not sufficient enough to describe this restaurant - it was truly hands down the best meal experience we've had in our lives. We opted for the 10 course meal with the wine pairings. The level of thought and care placed into each dish was incredible - between the flavours and texture they really highlighted vegetables in a whole new way. - as vegetarians I've always been apprehensive of going to fine dining because veggies are an afterthought, but Ten made every dish delicious, unique and complex in flavour - we loved and enjoyed every dish. The menu changes regularly to reflect whatever is in season. The wine sommelier was well versed and paired with wines across different regions and enhanced every dish we had - this extends out into the finer details such as the cutlery and dishes used for each round. You get to connect with the chefs and see them put together each meal, and this brings an elevated appreciation to the creativity and effort places into each meal. You have the option in advance to advise on dietary restrictions (vegetarian) or there are some fish/meat based components within the regular menu. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will be back undoubtedly. Thank you for making us fall back in love with the restaurant experience.
