Aluna

What is Aluna? Taking over a storied address at 1127 St. Clair Avenue West in Corso Italia, Aluna is an intimate Latin social house and cocktail lounge. The space features warm, low-lit ambiance anchored by an inviting central cocktail bar and cozy dining tables tailored for evening socializing. It injects a fresh, modern Latin American energy into a stretch traditionally dominated by classic Italian cafes and bakeries.

Aluna Menu & What to Order Built around shared plates and bold Latin flavours, the kitchen balances punchy citrus-cured seafood with sizzling grilled meats and savoury finger foods. Start with the house ceviche, tossed with crisp red onion, sweet potato, and fresh leche de tigre, before moving on to crispy handmade empanadas and tender carne asada tacos. The beverage program shines on the back of agave-forward cocktails, spicy mezcalitas, and crisp South American wines, with plenty of vegetarian-friendly share plates across the board.

Know Before You Go Aluna operates purely for dinner and late-night drinks from Tuesday through Saturday, shutting its doors on Sundays and Mondays. While walk-ins can grab seats at the bar during early evening hours, calling ahead or securing a table is recommended for peak Friday and Saturday night rushes. The 512 St. Clair streetcar stops steps from the front door, though metered street parking along St. Clair West is readily available off-peak.
