We were a big group of people celebrating our friend’s birthday.
The food was too salty at least Steak, mussels and fries were too salty. The waiter had an attitude according to most of us and his tone was condescending. The bill we got at the end included 22 percent MANDATORY tip! And we were not informed about it beforehand. We had a very small cake bought from outside and they charged the table about $60 just to plate the cake! They didn’t tell us about this fee either. So the bill was a surprise to all of us! Would not go there again!

A delicious spot for steak frites! The fries are thin enough with a nice crisp and chew but are also seasoned well. The mussels were also deliciously cooked in a sauce that is basically drinkable! Cozy ambiance that is dimly lit. Would return for a good steak frites with no frills.

Food was good and rest of the servers were also good except for one. One was EXTREMELY rude by taking a chair out of our table without asking. He said he had to set up a table to serve 6 "humans" but our chair was originally sat by a pet dog while she was away for a little walk. Please note, there were empty tables and chairs around us. Apparently, it's definitely our fault to have that chair occupied. When I said the chair was occupied, he said I gave him “attitude"!Had he ever asked? No! He didn't ever ask? Luckily, that "human" table saw everything - who was giving who attitude! Speechless! Well, Toronto has lots of good French restaurants, if they don't care about us, then let me tell you something, feeling is mutual!

Amazing food here if you like French cuisine. We tried a bit of everything and it was all fantastic (the salmon was the highlight, crème brûlée the lowlight since my expectations were higher for a nice French restaurant). The don’t have a full bar so cocktails are hit or miss. Service was great & the atmosphere is very classic (loved it even more as the evening went on and some mood lighting was introduced)

Would definitely recommend!

Service très agréable et c’est la meilleure viande que j’ai mangé à Toronto.
Je recommande

I just went to celebrate my friends
Birthday tonight and the food was incredible. I went many years ago and I’m glad I came back because they still have wonderful food and service. I will bring my husband next time as we love good French food. My favourite was the steak frites and fois gros. Thanks for such a wonderful night.

The person who served our dinner, had only eyes for my partner, that's fine it's flattering! But my plate was only SALT. I didn't say anything.but the tall bald dude, should find a real job, or get his own lady

The food was terrible. It was my first and last time going to this restaurant.
Overpriced! And we left hungry!
Don't waste your money there!

The restaurant is alway a terrific experience. Food is delicious, drinks are strong, service is fun and fast, and the ambiance is amazing.

Great spot for a date, dinner with friends, or if you are really lucky, an occasional nights of raucous live music on the bar Coyote Ugly Style (check out the awesome “A Little Rambunctious”.

You will feel like you are in a fun Parisian neighbourhood restaurant filled with Torontonians.

Don’t miss it.

My boyfriend and I went there to try the horse meat. We tried the tartar and the rare steak. It was excellent and we could say it was some of the best steak we ever had. We also got the cheese board. The waiter was excellent, I can’t remember his name but he was from England. He was so knowledgeable about the French cuisine and was able to teach me a lot. I loved my experience there and really tied in our first trip to Toronto. I would go back.

Horrible, tiny food portions. Very cheaply prepared. A tiny duck drum with some stale salad, 42$. Huge rip off. Very disappointing. Was always fond of French cuisine. They ruined it.

Looks like the business hours may be incorrect here? Listed as open until 2: 00 on Sundays. When I walked in at 12: 30 (front doors were open and unlocked, and some guests seated in the dining area) the server behind the bar told me I should have recognized that they were ‘obviously closed’.

Was excited to try the food here, have had it bookmarked for a while; but I now have no interest in returning or recommending after the curt interaction. Maybe it was an off night.

Our favourite place in Toronto for dinner. My partner and I are both in the service industry and recently have had a case of the blah's when it comes to dining out and restaurant experiences in general. This place was so perfectly what we've been craving. Delicious, wonderfully crafted food served unpretentiously. You can tell the staff care about what they put on your table and that they're proud of it. We went all out and spent some dough, but it was so worth it. Good for a special occasion, but also has options for a casual dinner. Love, love, love!

Great establishment with some of the best wine you'll find in the city. Make sure to chat with the sommeliers to find the right pick for your palette.

A staple of Toronto - incredible food, service, and story telling about where the food and wine was sourced! Just an absolute treat every time

We started off with a watermelon salad which was nice, and a charcuterie board (which was definitely overpriced), then had duck confit and the foie gras for the mains; the duck confit was great but the foie gras was superb. Hard to get attention of waiters sometimes (even though they had a surplus of them?), but it was a good atmosphere overall. Don't think I'll come back but was a overall a nice experience.

Excellent service and good vibe for a busy Saturday
The tartare and mussels were very good

One of the best experiences we’ve had in Toronto! The food was delicious and wine pairings were perfect.

We wanted a quick bite between Fringe Shows and La Palette was a knock out choice. The duck and fromage were of high quality whilst the french wines were divine. Expect a relaxed ambience and unpretentious charm.

I went to this restaurant for my birthday. However, I was disappointed with the food. I ordered duck confit and my husband ordered stake. Dock tasted old and it came on a mushy, soaked in oil noodles, the stake was very blend. They changed the noodles for me to their house salad which was pretty good. Overall noting special.

Service was great. Atmosphere was cool.
Food was good but not outstanding. Enjoyable meal but nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, good but not excellent

Waitress was very nice and personable! Very happy with all our interactions with her.
However the food options were quite limited, no vegan options except fries and vegetables, and a vegetarian risotto. I guess a huge part of the experience is alcohol though so maybe that would be better.
Portions were also small for the price but that may just be how French food is. The various meat options aren’t that interesting, i.e. Horse, foie gras. They are nice to try if you’re curious but really aren’t special or won’t fill you up.
We were charged $3 each for them to plate our cupcakes (we bought elsewhere and brought in) we were completely fine eating them after the restaurant at home, but were encouraged to give it to them to plate. I asked about the plating fee, and was told by an employee it’s $3. I definitely understand the fee and didn’t mind paying that. However, it was only after receiving the bill when I noticed it would be $3 per person and not in total. To plate cupcakes. And light a candle? I wish I’d gotten clarity on that before being roped into the option. I don’t think this service was worth $9 in total, especially when I had no idea it’d be per person.

Had a great dinner here with a great wine list and perfectly cooked meat. Had some great recommendations from the owner for a digestif and it was so one of the best I have ever had.

I had a very nice experience. The staff was beyond dedicated. I went to a birthday dinner and everything was so delicious. I highly recommend the Beef Tartare. So good and tasty.
