Bar Isabel gives a chef-selected dinner an adjustable spending range instead of one fixed tasting-menu price. Staff builds the order around the party’s budget, preferences and appetite, using classic dishes and seasonal additions. Its Spanish-focused menu includes seafood, cured meats, vegetable dishes and a Basque cake with hot sherry cream. Choose this College Street restaurant when agreeing a budget at the table appeals, and confirm dietary requirements ahead because vegetarian and vegan choices are limited.

Choosing This Restaurant
Be clear about the per-person food spend before staff chooses the meal. The range is useful precisely because the party helps set it; it is not a promise that every menu request can fit the lowest figure. The official site distinguishes Saturday lunch offers from its dinner and tasting-menu information.
Quetzal’s College Street dinner offers both à la carte orders and a family-style curated menu that the whole reservation shares. The choice can be made on arrival, but the current starting price and optional pairings make advance budget planning useful. Its menu describes Mexican dishes including pumpkin-seed sikil pak and an Oaxacan lamb empanada; these examples do not promise specific tasting courses. Book the seat type you want and read the cancellation terms before committing.
On The Menu
Curated menu from CAD 160/guest. Separate beverage pairing CAD 140/person or non-alcoholic CAD 100/person. À la carte examples: sikil pak with pumpkin seed, poblano and cotija; Oaxacan lamb empanada. Current curated inclusions should be confirmed.
Good For
The whole-party curated menu starts at CAD 160, with separate beverage and non-alcoholic pairings and explicit 24-hour cancellation exposure.
Plan Ahead
Whole reservation participates in the curated menu; decide on arrival. Online bookings open 30 days ahead at midnight, up to six guests. No-shows, cancellations and party-size changes within 24 hours incur CAD 100 per guest. Two-person dining allocation is two hours. Confirm current booking terms.

DaiLo at 503 College Street gives a chef-selected dinner two posted food tiers: DaiLo’s Choice and Premium. Its official menu describes Chinese-influenced New Asian cooking with French techniques, while the à la carte selection offers another way to order. The named tiers anchor a budget before the evening starts, but wine pairings are extra. Current menu examples should orient the cuisine choice, not create an expectation that a specific dish appears in the chef-selected meal.
On The Menu
DaiLo’s Choice CAD 125/person; Premium CAD 160/person. À la carte examples: Hakka brown wontons with pork, shrimp and XO sauce; whole fried Giggie trout with nahm jim, green-curry aioli and soy glaze. No fixed current tasting course count is posted.
Good For
Two stated food tiers anchor a chef-selected dinner budget, while wine pairings remain separate and current à la carte dishes are not promised courses.
Plan Ahead
Use the OpenTable reservation widget embedded on DaiLo’s official website. Dinner starts at 5 p.m. Tuesday–Sunday. The website also lists later Friday/Saturday hours without a clear kitchen cutoff; no late food service is promised here. Confirm current tasting contents and terms.
Two food menus total CAD 250 or CAD 320 before tax, tip, drinks and additions. Wine pairings are separately CAD 75 or CAD 105/person; ask staff how options match. Official prices checked October 14, 2026.
Azhar’s dinner menu at 96 Ossington gives a mixed-preference table a falafel large plate alongside fish, chicken and meat choices. Dips and vegetable plates can be shared separately, with their own inclusions and prices. The distinction is useful when a vegetarian friend wants a named main rather than contributing a side to everyone else’s dinner. Weekday service starts at 4 p.m., and larger groups move to a set-menu plan through the authorised booking page.
On The Menu
Falafel plate CAD 32 with hummus, herbs, sumac onion, pickled turnip and pepper. Hummus, muhammara and babaganoush CAD 18 each, served with two pitas. Crispy maitake mushrooms CAD 18 with hawaij, toum, labneh and lemon; labneh contains dairy.
Good For
The CAD 32 falafel large plate gives one diner an individual choice, while separately ordered dips include pita; group set-menu rules differ.
Plan Ahead
Reserve the 96 Ossington restaurant through the official OpenTable link. Use the current website hours where they differ from older booking-page hours. For vegetarian or vegan requirements, confirm preparation and additions directly; menu ingredients are not allergy-safety assurances.
CAD dinner-menu prices checked October 14, 2026; tax, tip, drinks and additions excluded. A 20% gratuity applies from six guests. Officially linked OpenTable requires CAD 75 per person set menu for seven to sixteen. Pita is not stated with the falafel plate.
