Can't wait to come back! We decided on the winter tasting menu and we were very glad we did. Fantastic food, good value, great wine pairings and fabulous service!

Love the foos and service is in top. Highly recommend. I love the flatbread truffles, arugula and lemon.

We visited this beautiful restaurant on our wedding anniversary, and the experience was truly lovely. While there were limited vegetarian options, everything we tried was excellent.

We started with the soup as an appetizer, which was delicious, and ordered the beet gnocchi as well. I personally loved the beet gnocchi — creamy, well-balanced, and perfectly done.

For dessert, we had the chocolate soufflé, and honestly, it was one of the best I’ve ever had. Absolutely loved it and a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion.

Wow. Sunday 6p 1/18/2026 dinner. I studied the wine list (thank you Claude.ai) and ordered a lovely Spanish red. Salad and beef tartare was plenty, and then two souffles and two dessert wines. Lovely service, quiet setting (jazz), awesome food and wine.

It was a little expensive. The food and service was outstanding so it was worth it. An incredible brunch menu from which to choose.

It's a safe place with mediocre food. Nice presentation, great service, you'll never have something bad, but it's really underwhelming and mediocre. Food is bland, dishes are boring and unchanged. Just a place that delivers a good experience with white table cloths and a nice environment. Food is nothing at all to go out the way for. Been coming here sporadically over 6 years and it's the same thing every time. Scallops are great though.

We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Beautiful restaurant overlooking the Boston Gardens. The ambience and service are top-notch! Really enjoyed the appetizers and the main courses were good, though I'm not an expert on French cuisine. They have an arrangement for validated parking about a block away, which helps.

Bistro du Midi is an elegant yet unpretentious French restaurant. The menu offers classic French dishes as well as updated takes. It also offers a seasonal tasting menu from which items could also be ordered a la carte. We enjoyed the beet gnocchi with goat cheese as a starter. My husband had the La Belle Farms duck breast and loved it; our friend enjoyed the Ora King Salmon; and I had the Dover sole from the tasting menu (and loved it). Our dishes were perfectly prepared and service was friendly, efficient, and non-intrusive. Bistro du Midi has a first-floor bar and dining room; the larger dining room is on the second floor, accessible via a curving staircase but also via an elevator. Both dining levels are bright, well-lit and comfortable. Although we visited for dinner, Bistro du Midi also offers brunch, lunch, and afternoon tea.

I ordered the eggs Benedict, but it was cold and the bread was so hard it was almost impossible to cut with a knife. The crêpe Suzette was just okay, nothing memorable. On the positive side, the French onion soup was tasty, and the coffee and mimosas were good. Unfortunately, the overall experience was uncomfortable. The space between my chair and the table behind me was extremely tight, making it nearly impossible to leave the table without sliding sideways into the neighboring chair. Additionally, the waiter kept pressuring us to pay and never asked if we would like more drinks or offered a dessert menu. Given the location and the prices, I expected a much higher standard from this restaurant.

We went here for the day before New Year's Eve and ordered a la carte. We thought this was the best value for money as vegetarians. There were a few vegetarian dishes, and all of them were pretty good, though the entrees were primarily pasta based. The beetroot gnocci looked deliciously plated but was a bit strong on the cheese and less on the beet flavour, which we would have preferred more of. The roasted carrots with pomegranate appetizer was our favourite, along with the creme brulee dessert! Overall, a great experience and we would go back!

We celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary at Bistro du Midi and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The restaurant thoughtfully acknowledged our anniversary, which made the evening feel even more special.

The ambience is stunning — elegant and romantic, yet warm and welcoming rather than stuffy or pretentious. It felt like a place meant for savoring both the food and the moment.

Our waiter, Chery, was exceptional. He was friendly, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. His food and wine pairing suggestions were spot-on and truly enhanced our meal.

Every dish was delicious and beautifully creative — delicate nuances, subtle surprises, and thoughtful flavor combinations that elevated each course without being overdone. A truly memorable dining experience and the perfect way to celebrate such a meaningful milestone.
