Norma Ridley Members’ Lounge

Enjoy lunch or a beverage in the Members' Lounge, where history and contemporary intersect.

The Norma Ridley Members' Lounge is a dedicated space for Members to relax, rest, and recharge. Located in The Grange, a historic Georgian manor and the first home of the Art Museum of Toronto, it is now a part of the Art Gallery of Ontario and a national historic site. The menu combines historical preservation and culinary methods with modern-day techniques and reflects Ontario’s seasonal bounty with flavours influenced by Toronto’s diverse communities.

Enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of the Grange while surrounded by great Canadian artworks selected by the AGO Curatorial team.
