I've always been fond of Le Paradis after first coming here as a teenager about a dozen years ago. Having been to France and enjoyed authentic French cuisine, this place measures up in every regard. The food, dining-centred experience, atmosphere, and service are top-notch. Some dishes to try include the escargot, North African couscous and veggies, soup du jour, and practically any dessert item. NOTE: the menu may change with items added or taken away depending on the season. The campari is a nice Mediterranean beverage to enjoy with your meal (which you don't see every day). 10/10 recommend. Merci, Le Paradis!
Sadly The Service is BETTER than the food .” Guy” -the amazing bartender is one of the only reasons I continue to visit. His cocktails are amazing & so is his warm personality.A few years ago this restaurant served amazing French cuisines, now I’m not sure what’s going on . Do they need a new chef or New Menu ? Possibly both . The food is just not HITTING alike it used to . Stopped by last night for drinks/ dinner & again was disappointed by the FOOD AGAIN. I noticed they had a few new menu options so I promptly ordered the fried Artichoke and Whole Fish … The Artichoke LOOKED YUMMY but it tasted like fried salt . So Sad ! I wanted it to be GOOD. Then onto the Whole Seabream ! What a bland and unseasoned plate of food . The clams on top weren’t necessary, smelled fishy and added nothing to the dish. The a best part of my meal was my cocktail! The tequila based Fridah . Please do something about the menu, food and bathrooms management, they all need a facelift.
Went for the mother's day brunch. Waiters were out of practice since they hadn't done brunch since the pandemic.The appetizers were delicious, but we had to wait a long time for our mains and by the time it arrived the food was cold.Overall, I'd give the place another try during dinner service.
This continues as it had been before COVID. The food is nicely prepared and there are some great surprises (at least the first time). The staff is always welcoming and the decor is conceptually Parisian suburban café, 1960. The prices are reasonable for the quality offered. Since they quite often have ris de veau (sweetbreads) and sea bream on the menu, this reviewer tells you to consider that you should try something you didn't expect to see.
This was chosen by a friend for a birthday dinner. Great bistro atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff. A small menu but with enough choices for everyone from meat eaters to vegetarians. Portions were ample, especially on the appetizers. Three course dinner for 4 with cocktails and two bottles of wine was under $400.
Recommended by a French expatriate friend. Really delicious food. Our waitress (forgot her name) treated us like a lovely mother feeding her visiting adult kid and their friends. Food reminded us of our trip to Paris.
We ordered take out with a bit of worry as well, reheated French food doesn’t seemed great. Well, it was fantastique! The cassoulet de canard, the boeuf bourguignon, the velouté de choux-fleur and the pommel Salardaises were all superbe! We just missed the dessert!
Great food. Simple section of wines. Will come back to try more dishes. Staff super friendly!
Very nice restaurant with an older crowd. But a restaurant that focuses on good service and excellent food. I enjoyed the atmosphere and will be coming back.
Very old school, assembly-line food. For our first visit (which will be our last), the food came out even before I'd had one sip of my cocktail, sadly, the best part of the meal. A vibrant atmosphere full of old Annex and Rosedale types - my 87 year old mother would have loved it but they need to be better than that. Bathrooms need serious updating. Let's just say that our expectations were not met.
