Dinner with a view takes on a whole new meaning at this swanky Toronto spot. Michelin star-awarded Don Alfonso 1890 has a new home in the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel, and it comes with a panoramic lookout over the city.
The restaurant, which was voted the best Italian dining spot in the world outside of Italy for 2022, previously operated as a pop-up inside Casa Loma, and the former Toula space in the Westin Harbour Castle is its first permanent location in Toronto.

The elegant space features 90 seats as well as a sleek bar area and open-concept kitchen. Glistening chandeliers hang from the ceiling, and glowing pillars light up the space.
The furniture and banquettes were designed specifically for the curving space, and works of art including pieces by Damien Hirst decorate the area.
