ALO JOINS RELAIS & CHÂTEAUX

Chef Patrick Kriss announces second restaurant on eve of prestigious designation

September 21, 2017. Toronto, ON. Alo Restaurant now joins the 550 world-class hotels and restaurants around the globe, recognised by the prestigious Relais & Châteaux designation. After setting a benchmark for inventive cuisine and outstanding hospitality in the world of fine dining, chef Patrick Kriss and General Manager Amanda Bradley proudly wear the distinction awarded to only seven Canadian properties to date.

Relais & Châteaux members are recognized for their unique experiences and expression of the culinary arts. Serving uncompromised tasting-menus on the third floor of a heritage building at Queen and Spadina, Alo and chef Patrick Kriss have done just that:  created the unexpected.

“We are honored to join the Relais & Châteaux family,” said chef Patrick Kriss, “and we are committed to honouring this distinction with a continued commitment to the meticulous standard of cuisine and hospitality we have become known for.”

“There is nothing more rewarding than seeing our efforts recognised by the Relais & Châteaux title,” said Amanda Bradley, General Manager,” Our vision started with creating the best experience for our guests while celebrating the unique French culture and history. It is an honor to now be regarded as among the best in the industry.”

On the heels of this success, Chef Patrick Kriss will debut his new restaurant concept, Aloette this fall. Located below Alo at 163 Spadina Avenue, Aloette plans to be the neighbourhood bistro reimagined, offering thoughtful service, cocktails and conversation at Toronto’s busiest intersection. Stay tuned for updates.
