Entire Venue at Founder Restaurant & Cocktail Bar
About this space
Like Toronto's creative spirit, Founder's aesthetic represents modern elegance with details rooted in its cultured history.
At the heart of the room, our back bar glows radiantly against the deep green marbled counter that lines our west wall. The soft-crafted textures of our seating welcome the contrast and rawness of the concrete that surrounds it, while lighting helps to set just the right mood.
More importantly, our seating and floorplans are adaptable, while the space is flexible enough to be dressed up or down to suit the ambiance of your event.
Chef Kendall Collingridge can work with your team to design a specially curated menu for plates big and small. His critically acclaimed dishes continue to put Founder on the map and are sure to be a highlight amongst your guests.

We opened Founder in June 2018 and quickly gained a reputation for our skillfully crafted cocktails and globally-inspired dishes. Today, with an expanded food program and the same award-winning cocktails, we are proud to serve our community as a contemporary bistro.
We are ideally situated on Dundas Street in Toronto, right in the heart of the vibrant neighborhood known as Little Portugal. This prime location immerses you in the rich culture and lively atmosphere of the area.
One of the major advantages of our location is its proximity to the city's excellent public transportation system. Whether you're a local seeking a convenient spot to relax or a visitor eager to explore the city, the location of our bar makes it a convenient and accessible choice.
Founder combines our love for exceptional food and cocktails with our passion for building community around them. We believe that all the best things start by bringing people together and feel privileged to surround ourselves with a team and community that helps make that a reality every night. Chef Kendall brings into every dish with an eclectic mix of flavors that crosses borders and cultures. There's a reason we say it's the most Toronto menu you'll ever taste.
