Frilu was a restaurant in Markham, Ontario, Canada.[1] The restaurant had received a Michelin star in 2022, and retained it in 2023.[2] [3] The restaurant also earned a 'Green Star', which recognizes restaurants for their leadership in sustainability, in the 2023 edition of the Guide.[4]

Frilu was the only Michelin-starred restaurant in Ontario located outside of the city limits proper of the City of Toronto. Frilu closed its doors in July 2024, with the owners citing wanting to focus on other ventures.[5] Frilu is the first, and so far only, Michelin-starred restaurant in Canada to close.
