Demetres is Dessert Experienced.
The Original. The Innovators.
We’ve been passionately doing this for over 35 years. We are the true originals.
Often Imitated, Never Duplicated.
We’ve created the dessert scene and reinvented it over and over.
Our history is our proof.
What makes us, us.

Laser Focused on Desserts
We’re a true dessert restaurant. That means we don’t get distracted with preparing salads, pizzas, or sandwiches (no risk of seeing a kale salad here, folks).
Our desserts are served in gorgeously designed, comfortable, sit-down environments with full-service (table ordering, the works). That makes it a unique date night idea, a great place to celebrate milestones, and the place to catch up with friends and family.

Commitment to Small Batch Ice Cream
We have been making our own ice cream since the very beginning in 1989. All our ice creams start with our unique Demetres ice cream base, which has a distinctly opulent and sumptuous character. It’s high butterfat, low overrun magic that is difficult and expensive to create, but worth it. It’s so good that you could have it ‘plain’ and it would still rock your world.
We then do constant flavour development in our R&D kitchen in the GTA with our very talented team of ice cream connoisseurs. We come up with a mix of timeless flavours and seasonal ice creams that meet the mood of Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter.
All of our ice creams are made with authentic, premium flavourings (real Vanillas, Belgian and French chocolates, real fruit) and high quality inclusions (even more Belgian chocolates, Italian nuts, house made caramels).
This is something we care deeply about. Ice cream should be thrilling. It should have an impact with each bite.
See for your self. Keep an eye out for each seasonal menu to try our new ice creams and sorbettos at Demetres, or visit Scooped by Demetres where we are constantly presenting even more unique and bold flavour ideas.

Top Quality Ingredients Only
Working with only the best suppliers allows us to hand-pick all our toppings and sweet additions, and ensures that each and every ingredient used to hand-craft our desserts is the highest quality possible.
At Demetres, nothing is ever casually chosen. Authentic ingredients make the best tasting desserts, so we continuously source and taste test until we end up with the best product possible.

Authentically Torontonian
From our original restaurant on the Danforth in 1989, to our 11 locations across the GTA today, everything about us is home grown.
And that rich flavourful ice cream we mentioned? It’s made from the best quality dairy we can find, right here in Ontario.
