To our El Tenedor family,

Many of you have been with us since the very beginning. You’ve shared meals, stories, celebrations—and in many ways, you’ve helped shape what El Tenedor has become today.

When we create something new, it’s always with you in mind.

Our latest addition, Shrimp Tostadas, reflects the way we love to cook: fresh, vegetable-forward, and guided by flavour above all else. Crisp corn tostadas layered with guacamole, mango, and our house pepper sauce, finished with grilled shrimp and vibrant greens. Familiar ingredients, brought together with a perspective that draws from many places.

It’s a small expression of our ongoing journey—one that we’re grateful to share with you.

Thank you for being part of our table, then and now. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

We’re back… and it means more than ever.

After 8 years of sharing food, laughter, and so many moments with you, we took a pause to reflect, reset, and rethink what dining could feel like today.

El Tenedor has been reimagined around food that nourishes you, tastes exceptional, and feels like home.

You’ll find a vegetable-centered menu, thoughtful fish and meat options, natural wines, and house-made drinks — all created with care, intention, and flavor at the center.

Thank you for your support through the years.
We’re so happy to open our doors again and welcome you back.
