Full Scaramouche menu with prices for 2026 -- every category, from the legendary Coconut Cream Pie to the panoramic-view dining room at One Benvenuto Place. Dinner mains run CAD $42-$70; appetizers from $21; desserts from $12. Toronto's most enduring fine-dining institution, helmed by Chef Keith Froggett since 1985.
Signature items
Scaramouche opened in 1980 at One Benvenuto Place -- the penthouse of a residential building in the Deer Park neighbourhood, on the northern edge of Yorkville. The location gives the dining room an unobstructed panorama of the Toronto skyline that remains one of the most coveted views at any restaurant table in the city.
The restaurant was founded with chefs Jamie Kennedy and Michael Stadtlander, two figures who would go on to shape Canadian cuisine broadly. Executive Chef Keith Froggett took over the kitchen around 1985 and has remained in the role ever since -- an unusually long tenure by any measure of the industry. Partner Carl Korte joined in 1990. Together they have built Scaramouche into one of the most consistent fine-dining rooms in the country.
The cooking draws on French classical technique applied to Canadian seasonal ingredients. Scaramouche has received coverage in Conde Nast Traveler (praised for its views, wine selection and ethical cuisine approach), Chatelaine, BlogTO, and Pendulum Magazine, which described the offering as featuring "modern and creative flavours executed with thoughtful ingredients."

Scaramouche's Coconut Cream Pie has been on the menu since the restaurant opened in 1980 and is widely regarded as the most celebrated restaurant dessert in Toronto's history. The recipe has been featured in Chatelaine magazine, and food writers and diners regularly cite it as a reason to visit independently of the rest of the meal.
The pie costs CAD $16 on the dessert menu -- the only dessert priced above the standard $15 tier. For those who want to take it home, whole Coconut Cream Pies are available for takeout Tuesday through Saturday between 5:00 PM and 5:30 PM. Phone ahead to confirm availability: 416-961-8011.

Scaramouche sits firmly in Toronto's top tier of fine-dining pricing but is not the most expensive option. Main courses at Scaramouche run CAD $42-$70, which is comparable to similarly positioned restaurants in the city. For context, a two-course dinner for two with a glass of wine each typically runs CAD $200-$300 before tax and tip. The coconut cream pie at CAD $16 is widely considered exceptional value for a dessert of its quality and prestige. Scaramouche is generally regarded as better value than some newer Toronto tasting-menu destinations that charge fixed prices of CAD $200-$400 per person before beverages.
