The vibe is easy and fashionable. After utilizing the self-serve kiosk to order, or for those who’re like us, you stroll in and order in individual, you step right into a shiny, compact area with just some chairs alongside the wall for these opting to dine in. The emphasis right here is clearly on take-out and supply, so for those who’re in search of a sit-down expertise, it’s most likely not the spot. However for a fast, no-fuss chew, Aloette Go suits the invoice.
The menu is concise, specializing in what they do greatest: burgers, fried rooster sandwiches, and some salads. There’s additionally a tempting dessert possibility, like a Nutella swirl with chocolate cake bites, although I wasn’t courageous sufficient to check my abdomen after the burger and fries.
I ordered the Banquet Hamburger with crispy bacon, American cheese, Go sauce, lettuce and tomato. The smash patty was juicy and well-seasoned, hitting the spot for an off-the-cuff burger craving. The bacon, whereas crispy and flavorful, felt a bit overwhelming on such a small bun, particularly with the outsized tomato slices. However general, the burger was satisfying. It’s the form of easy, well-executed meal that leaves you feeling content material.
The crinkle-cut fries had been a standout. Golden brown, crispy, and excellent with the signature Go sauce. They complemented the burger properly and rounded out the meal.
Total, Aloette Go doesn’t attempt to overcomplicate issues. It’s a fast-casual spot with a deal with high quality elements and environment friendly service. When you’re within the temper for a smash burger and a fast chew, that is positively a spot to take a look at.

I’d describe Aloette Go as an “specific” model of the favored downtown Toronto restaurant, Aloette. Having a restricted menu of burgers, salads, and sandwiches, this seize and go idea permits individuals to nonetheless benefit from the eating places fascinating dishes.
I opted for the Veggie Go Burger — a vegan patty layered with a cheddar cheese skirt, onions, lettuce, shredded onions, and Go sauce.
My first chew was met by the crunch of the cheddar skirt. It was crispy, creamy, and engaging. There’s simply one thing a couple of cheese skirt that’s come to my liking that enhances the flavour of any burger much more. Moreover, the Go sauce was savoury which was a pleasant contact.
