Secret Toronto supper club is helmed by a Michelin-trained 'Top Chef' alum
As residents increasingly seek out experiential dining options, one sort-of-secret supper club in Toronto with a Michelin-trained chef and Top Chef alumnus at the helm is making a splash.
Before 2020, Chef Alex Fields was making his name at prestigious kitchens across the country, from Momofuku to the Four Seasons. But when the world shut down, and the dining landscape changed irreparably, so too did Alex's approach to dining.
It was then that Rhyz Supper Club, his pop-up dining concept centred around Afro-Caribbean and Southern American soul food, was born, and now, six years later, it's entered into what may just be its best chapter yet.
After stints of hosting pop-ups around the city and a residency at Bloorcourt's Now & Later, Fields has joined forces with wine consultant Julia Clarke to elevate the entire experience with masterful-level wine pairings to complement Rhyz's menu, which pays homage to Fields' own Afro-Caribbean heritage.
Together, the two host monthly supper clubs at Etobicoke's Dymon Wine Cellar, each centred on a specific wine region and featuring a six-course dinner to match.
The supper club officially relaunched in late April 2026, which means that the next installment is right around the corner on Friday, May 29. Tickets, available for purchase online through Eventbrite, ring in at around $180, inclusive of all six courses and pairings.
You'll also get a first-hand access to both Fields and Clarke as they walk you through the culinary journey, explaining the personal stories behind each dish and educating you on the characteristics of each wine pairing. Not bad for one of the city's most unique dining experiences.
On the menu, you can expect refined takes on Caribbean and soul food classics, like oxtail fazoletti and cod and nduja with coconut and peas, always cooked with heart, and always, always, delicious.
