Great place all around. Definitely going back. Their martini is 10/10.

Chef Firooz has been my favorite chef for years. Saturday I had the Roasted Pork Filet and was totally blow away. By far, the best Pork dish I have ever had. Amazing tender texture, such a tasty spicy sauce, but not too hot, over beautiful mashed potatoes along with perfectly cooked asparagus and carrots.You have to try the Roasted pork Filet.Firooz, please keep this item on the menu.Ross

First visit ... and OMG!Elixir was a very happy surprise.Nice location on Belmont, and lotsa parking around this resto. We received a friendly greeted and were quickly seated. Upon mentioning that we'd prefer a table further away from the entrance, we were quickly given a table at a much better location.Service was very friendly and accommodating. Menu and specials were explained in detail, and both drinks and food were perfectly served.As for the food ... it was flawless. Hats down to the chef, he runs his kitchen like a well oiled machine. ??? there were no long waits, all food came out just on time.Our pre-dinner drinks (Cosmo and Manhattan) were about as good as we ever had in KW. So good in fact, that my wife had a second Cosmo!We had 3 starters because we just could not decide which two to choose. The steak tartar was utterly divine, the tenderloin was finely cubed/chopped, the seasoning was spot on, and the raw yolk was the perfect glue to bind it all. ?The escargots with mushroom were resting a most delicious sauce, and everything was just tender enough. ?The shared app was the foil gras ... simply divine. Go try it, I'm not wrong!My wife's main course was the beef bourguignon, and she swears it was one the best she ever had. I tasted it, and I must concur.I had the lamb chop special, and again ... protein perfection. I am sometimes wary of lamb meals, as many times in the past I have been burned ... either under or overcooked, or way too gamey in flavour. But not here. Tonight's lamb was amazingly tender, with no overpowering odour or flavour. I supremely enjoyed it.Dessert was a shared crème brûlée, which we both enjoyed ... our only regret was that we could have eaten a double sized portion!Overall, our judgement ... one of the best restaurants in the region, easily in top 5 in our humble opinion. Do yourself a favour, and go check it out for yourself.

Absolutely delighted by the art that chef Pirooz pours in his dishes.Authenticity and creativity at the same time along with Design,quality and portion size make an unforgettable dine in experience.I only wish service hours were longer.
Loved the food and the service was attentive but unrushed.

I had such a lovely experience at Elixir. Such a clean and inviting, classy establishment with all of the accoutrements. My meal was absolutely amazing. Excellent French cuisine. My server was knowledgeable and attentive, the owner is a knowledgeable and kind person. If I could give 10 stars I would. Definitely bringing my family members from France here when they visit again.

Classic menu that is hard to find. This chef of over 30 years enjoyed every element of her steamed mussels, beef tenderloin and and tender crispy vegetables. Feedback on dessert menu- garnish with real whipped cream instead of canned. Dessert menus can often be an after thought and must meet the same level of excellence as the appetizers, mains and specials. I highly recommend visiting Elixir Bistro!

Was nice enough until my wife wound up with food poisoning a few hours later. Avoid the scallops I guess? Unfortunately that warrants a 1 star.Otherwise - a bit pricy but we knew to expect that, I appreciate that they had a vegetarian option although you need to call in to ask about it.Vegetarian options: Not listed on the menu, you can call in to ask. Today's option was a fusilli with tomato sauce and veggies - simple but well done.
Lamb shank wasn’t very good. I was looking forward to some good lamb and I was disappointed. The food does not match the prices.Edit -(response). I would increase your prices then and make sure the quality was better. People go to your restaurant for quality not prices. Just a friendly suggestion.

Excellent food for the price....it is not cheap but the food is outstanding. Highly recommended. The only negative is that it was a bit cold by the windows so I suggest a table away from the front.
