Absolutely divine spot filled with atmosphere in a quaint neighbourhood. The French cuisine was delicious and the wine bottles very reasonably priced. Very friendly and welcoming staff. I had the fried duck confit and my husband had the steak and frites. Will definitely return.
Small but with a little lot of character. Very good french themed menu (the cod was delicious). Unfortunately they were short staffed so the service was off but the staff were hustling. Will definitely give it another try - soon.
Lovey bistro. An intimate, cozy setting with delicious small menu. The wine list is extensive and includes various price ranges. Can’t wait to be back!
This is a French restaurant that does not cater to vegans. If you are vegan stay the heck away from this place. They don’t accommodate anyone or anything. But this is French cuisine after all.So, atmosphere is amazing and cozy. Great for date night or hanging out with friends.The service is good and attentive. The servers are good and they know the menu very well.The food was also very good according to my non-vegan friends.They get 4 stars because of poor accessibility and for not being accommodating to people with special dietary requirements. Also the drinks were not as good as they used to be according to regulars.
I always noticed this restaurant passing by on the Queen streetcar and finally had a chance to come in for dinner. The atmosphere inside was very cozy and elegant. Staff were super attentive and friendly even when the dining room was completely full. The food was excellent - kudos to the chef for developing such complex yet fresh flavours in each course without ever being overpowering. I’m looking forward to being back and sitting on the patio next time!
Quaint French bistro, amazing service, good food. Came here for dinner and got:- Housemade bread and cultured butter: Bread was soft and pillowy, butter was nondescript.- Escargot: Probably my favourite dish of the whole meal. I love how the escargot was wrapped in veggies, and how strong the garlic butter tasre was.- Steak Frites: Steak was pretty good but unremarkable. Fries were on the salty side.- Poached Cod: Delicately cooked, sublime flavours, decent size. A winner of a dish.- Fromage: One of the best soft cheeses I've had, perfectly paired with a blueberry compote.- Pot de Creme: Soft biscuit, creme, strawberries, meringue. A bit too sweet, but how can you not like that?If you're in the mood for an upscale casual dinner, this is the place for you.
What an absolute gem of a place! I’ve been wanting to visit this cozy restaurant for sometime and I can say with absolute conviction that it was well worth the wait! Darlene and the rest of her staff are down to earth and made quite a lasting impression.We had a few appetizers; the chicken liver pate, the escargot, and olives. Lucky there was left over bread from the escargots to help us finish the very generous portion of the pate!For the main, we had the duck confit and poached cod. The duck may be one of the best I’ve had outside of France!We were in a bit of a hurry and didn’t get a chance to try the desserts but we’ll definitely be back to rectify that!
Amazing food and cozy atmosphere
This was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. Friendly atmosphere, great food and delicious cocktails. My favourite was the chicken liver mouse but all dishes were fantastic (onion soup, steak and the gnocchis). Reservation needed if you go on the weekend. It was busy.
Stunning small bistro with that somehow improves upon some tried and true classic French dishes.First of all, their French onion soup and duck confit are probably the best I’ve ever had. The soup used croutons baked in duck fat and a combination of duck and beef stock as opposed to just traditionally beef. It is executed to perfection, with half of the crouton still crispy and smothered in Gruyère while the bottom side is soaked with the incredible soup. The duck confit is taken to another level by battering it and deep frying it in duck fat, then glazing it with maple. It’s a twist that you wouldn’t expect and it’s spectacular. The lentils it rests on are ridiculously flavourful and helps to cut some of the richness of the duck. This is a must order. By the time we got the gnocchi, we were reasonably full but it too, is spectacular- pan fried, unbelievably soft, and resting on a velvety cream sauce with toasted pine nuts for texture. The salad is a welcome break from all the richness and the escargots were excellent as well.Their wine menu is comprehensive to say the least and all quite reasonably priced actually. They also have a bottle shop that you can drop in to just pick up bottles without dining in. We dined in on a night where all proceeds went to the Ukrainian Red Cross, which is quite an admirable initiative by the team here. Service was super friendly, attentive, and really we couldn’t ask for a better dining experience. One word of warning is that the space is quite small and the dining room can seem a bit cramped. For two, we dined at the bar which might be the better option.
