About the restaurant

Hidden in the upstairs of its sibling restaurant Avelo; in a heritage townhouse on a quiet street, Bar Avelo serves up cocktails, wine, and other drinks. In an intimate Victorian inspired space, it features dramatic arched ceilings and lush velvet textiles. Bar Avelo boasts an a la carte Tapas menu from the same creative mind of Avelo Restaurant's Head Chef Fernando Anrango, and serves up some of the finest plant-based bites in the city.

If you wish to dine with us for our 5 or 8 course Tasting menu, please book at Avelo Restaurant. We do NOT offer the Tasting menu at Bar Avelo. For further questions, please contact the restaurant.

The in-house made charcuterie board was delightful; I'll be going back for the vegan blue cheese, vegan camambert, and house-baked bread as soon as possible! Avelo Bar - I'll deal with Toronto traffic any day to visit you :) Intimate, relaxed, upscale and stylish ambiance presenting incredibly tasty, animal-free menu items. Eat green, eat well, eat in style at Avelo bar!

The server Matt was awesome! We didn’t have a full dinner and that was no issue, he recommended drinks and appetizers and was super friendly. Attentive but not over bearing. GIA is a great spot to go for a nice dinner or cocktails and apps!

About the restaurant

Our mission? Great people helping other great people totally have a blast while enjoying amazing food. Wow, that was a mouthful. But can you blame us? We’re a restaurant. One that specializes in delicious food and great times. Our goal is to make you laugh. And depending on your hot sauce tolerance, cry.

In all seriousness, we take real pride in our food. Try our Cluckin’ Fresh Chicken Fingers, made and seasoned with fresh, never frozen chicken tenders. This isn’t run-of-the-mill pub grub. Our Band of Chefs are influenced by a wide variety of tastes and have travelled across the globe to gain inspiration.

But outside of the kitchen, we find it hard to take ourselves seriously. We have an Elvis booth. For no particular reason. Folks, that really does say it all. We’re sports fanatics, music nuts and love a good joke. If you’re into at least one of those things, we should hang out.

Great selection of vegan/vegetarian fare. Food was tasty and fresh, and the server was super friendly and attentive. The space is comfortable but was a bit warm on the day we visited.
