Don Alfonso 1890 Toronto

When you want to feel like a proper adult, book a harbour-facing table at Don Alfonso 1890. Nestled atop the Westin, this restaurant feels like the fancy place in town, drawing celebratory diners and out-of-towners who come to revel in the views. 
The dishes echo the contemporary sophistication of the dining room. Eel gelato plated with a tangle of wild rose-scented tagliatelle, pulverized egg yolk and sturgeon caviar delivers a wonderful mix of flavors; tender and vibrant agnolotti are stuffed with Ontario lamb for a rich and meaty filling and doused in a decadent cheese sauce that packs a punch. The kitchen doesn't overthink many dishes, as in the perfectly cooked Nova Scotia lobster with freshly fried mushrooms and a round of spinach filled with potato puree.
