About Alice
The Spotlight on Alice

Stylish Steakhouse Vibes in the Heart of Toronto

Alice is a sleek, modern steakhouse located on College Street, right in the bustling downtown Toronto core. With its trendy interior, moody lighting, and inventive menu, this isn’t your average steak joint. It's a go-to for locals and visitors alike looking for a memorable meal before hitting one of the city’s nearby concert venues.

The menu focuses on premium cuts of steak with a Korean-fusion twist, a nod to the chef’s heritage. Think perfectly grilled meats paired with bold, umami-packed sides and craft cocktails that add flair to any night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Alice is just a short ride from some of Toronto’s biggest venues, making it ideal for a pre-show dinner or celebratory post-show bite. The atmosphere is lively but not overwhelming, and the service is efficient and friendly — perfect for making it to your show on time. The bar is also a highlight, serving up inventive drinks that set the tone for an exciting night.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to kick off the night with great food and cocktails
  • Solo travelers treating themselves to a quality meal before a show
  • Couples on a romantic night out
  • Fans wanting a lively pre-show space without the chaos of a bar
  • Budget-conscious music fans who still want a premium experience (look for happy hour deals!)

What People Say

Reviewers rave about the perfectly cooked steaks, unique Korean-inspired sauces, and the overall ambience that’s both upscale and approachable. Many mention the attentive service and the fact that the food consistently delivers. The cocktails also get consistent praise — especially the house specials that rotate frequently. Guests love the interior design, describing it as "Instagram-worthy" without being pretentious.

Areas for Improvement

It can get busy on weekends, so reservations are recommended — especially if you’re on a tight concert timeline. A few guests mention that the lighting can be a bit dim for those wanting a clearer look at the beautiful food presentation.

The Bottom Line

Alice is a trendy, high-quality steakhouse that hits all the right notes for concert-goers looking to fuel up in style before the show.
