What to Order
Bar Ardo Burger
This isn't just any burger; it's a "behemoth" of delicious, perfectly cooked meat, complemented by homemade fries and a lemon mayo dip.
"It is without doubt the BEST burger I’ve ever had—in terms of taste, quality, quantity, and pure satisfaction, nothing else even comes close. Every bite was a perfect balance of juicy, flavorful, and beautifully prepared ingredients."
WmJ B
Linguine with wild shrimp
A perfectly salted pasta dish featuring a generous amount of soft, wild shrimp, best enjoyed hot.
"Linguine with wild shrimp is a must. Best to eat quickly when it’s hot. The saltiness of the pasta is perfect. Shrimp is soft and generous amount."
Tom A.
Oysters
Freshly shucked oysters with a great selection of toppings, often available at a special price on weekdays.
"The oysters and mussels are to die for. And you have to try the famous plate of ham, but a tip, you will need get some bread."
Gary W
Mussels
A very tasty appetizer that pairs well with the restaurant's selection of cocktails and wines.
"We also had mussels which were also very tasty. Desserts could have been better but that’s not a Bar Ardo problem, that’s a Toronto problem."
Gökberk Kızıltan
Beef Tartare
A bright and well-balanced appetizer that stands out among the small plates.
"We got the scallops, beef tartare and beet salad for apps and all were so well balanced and light."
Jessica Shaw
Burrata with mortadella and black truffle
An "unreal" dish featuring creamy burrata, mortadella, and black truffle served on bread.
"The tartare was bright and the star was the burrata with mortadella on bread with black truffle 🤯. It was unreal!"
