Drew's Review
Hi good morning, we’re the cool kids and welcome to BurgerTours!
The vibe is simple and modern. After using the self-serve kiosk to order, or if you’re like us, you walk in and order in person, you step into a bright, compact space with just a few chairs along the wall for those opting to dine in. The emphasis here is clearly on take-out and delivery, so if you’re looking for a sit-down experience, it’s probably not the spot. But for a quick, no-fuss bite, Aloette Go fits the bill.
The menu is concise, focusing on what they do best: burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, and a few salads. There’s also a tempting dessert option, like a Nutella swirl with chocolate cake bites, though I wasn’t brave enough to test my stomach after the burger and fries.
To start off this exciting new year, we take you to an ever-growing simple burger joint featuring smash burgers for quick and easy consumption, Aloette Go!
With three locations already in Toronto, Aloette Go brings a refined touch to fast-casual dining, blending the quality you’d expect from its Michelin-starred sister restaurant Alo with the convenience of a quick-service joint. Opening in January 2023, the location at Yonge and Eglinton which we decided to visit in January offers a streamlined experience designed for those on the go.

The menu is concise, focusing on what they do best: burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, and a few salads. There’s also a tempting dessert option, like a Nutella swirl with chocolate cake bites, though I wasn’t brave enough to test my stomach 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 a casual burger craving. The bacon, while crispy and flavorful, felt a bit overwhelming on such a small bun, especially with the oversized tomato slices. But overall, the burger was satisfying. It’s the kind of simple, well-executed meal that leaves you feeling content.
The crinkle-cut fries were a standout. Golden brown, crispy, and perfect with the signature Go sauce. They complemented the burger nicely and rounded out the meal.
Overall, Aloette Go doesn’t try to overcomplicate things. It’s a fast-casual spot with a focus on quality ingredients and efficient service. If you’re in the mood for a smash burger and a quick bite, this is definitely a spot to check out.
8.0/10

I would describe Aloette Go as an “express” version of the popular downtown Toronto restaurant, Aloette. Having a limited menu of burgers, salads, and sandwiches, this grab and go concept allows people to still enjoy the restaurants desirable 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 bite was met by the crunch of the cheddar skirt. It was crispy, creamy, and tasty. There’s just something about a cheese skirt that’s come to my liking that enhances the flavour of any burger even more. Additionally, the Go sauce was savoury which was a nice touch.
6.5/10
