28 Best Bistros in Toronto

“First time eating at this restaurant. I have to say, it was amazing. Everything was just perfect, from the time we walked in, until the time we left. The service was quick and efficient. The cleanliness was 5 star. All the staff were very friendly. But the food and the drinks. Unreal. Drinks tasted great and were very well made with beautiful presentation. The food was so fresh and tasty. Was filling but nice and light. The combination of tastes was obviously very well thought out and came together just perfectly. The presentation was beautiful as well. 2 people that stood out were Christina, our waitress. She was great. Very knowledgeable in regards to the menu. Her answers to our questions were well explained. She was on top of everything, making sure we were well taken care of. The other person that stood out was Kathleen, the GM. She was so cool. She obviously runs a very tight ship. Taking time to visit each table and making everything and everyone were well taken care of. 5 star all the way. If you can, definitely check this place put. Would highly recommend trying this restaurant. You won't be disappointed.“

“Excellent food and service! Would come back.“

“Got a table as a walk-in on a Friday night! We were seated at a high table at first, but my friend has back issues. The first server didn’t really try to help us when we asked to move, but another one was so nice and arranged it for us. We had the steak frites, Milou burger, and the panisse salad. The steak was good, I loved the flavor and the sauces that came with it. My friend and I didn’t even realize our cocktails were mixed up until we were halfway through. It wasn’t the best experience in terms of service, but I’m willing to give it another try.“

“Chef Jon is a master of his craft, oozing with passion, intelligence and a genuine care for the experience of his guests. All of this was made very clear in his Tasting menu, a must try and simply the best in the city! The service and atmosphere cannot be slept on, I truly felt the 5 star experience from start to finish. Joni is Toronto's and perhaps Canada's hidden gem.

“Great spot amazing food !“

“I wish I could give more then five stars for Maison T. This was our fifth time going to this restaurant. The food gets better very time we visit. The staff is absolutely wonderful and the ambiance is just perfect. The chef is absolutely amazing and has put together the most incredible and delicious menu you could ever want. If you want the best restaurant experience in Toronto, go to Maison T.“

“We got the rack of lamb "cook it yourself" kit on Friday; with the sides it's an amazing value and made an absolutely superb dinner. There was an error in my order, (understandable at 7 pm on a Friday) but the team went the extra mile to make it right. I highly recommend their meals for takeout, and I'm really looking forward to dining in on their extended menu when the lockdown is over.“

“Can’t say enough about how great the service is here or how delicious the pastries are! I also bought breads. So happy to have them in our Cabbagetown neighborhood (second location). Thank you Manon, Charles and Jules for outstanding service! Bravo!“

“Food, service, atmosphere all great! we will be back!“

“I have lived close by to this place for almost a decade and I finally got to try it the other day, huge portion sizes, quick and fast service, definitely recommend this place. I tried the chicken wings and fries, can't wait to go back.“

“great food and fun place to meet with friends. Very accessible.“

“The best food and great atmosphere!“

“Given that the payment system was operating in 20th C mode, staff did VERY well with service. They let us know what was happening so that we understood that payment processing would be slow. I am sure that this was frustrating for staff, but they all maintained a very professional demeanour....and food was fabulous.“

“To start off, the waiters were really good. We ordered in English and it was our first time trying food like these. We got the mayo tofu and braised sliced pork with the amazing LA Zi CHI which we completely devoured. Overall an amazing experience“

“Fantastic……………………………………..“

“Fantastic ambiance, service from Ben. Food and wine were excellent! Highly recommend.“

“Classy and beautiful place, with great food and service. Definitely coming back!“

“This was my first stay at the Broadview. We had a great time! In town for a concert, I booked a room with an awesome little terrace and a king bed. The room was excellent. The hotel was awesome! Service extraordinaire. Great staff. Perfect location in a vibrant and safe neighborhood. We will be back. We loved our time there!“

“Such incredible food , great presentation and attentive staff!“

“Friendly welcoming service with good food and lovely wine. Delighting to celebrate as a couple in an environment that feels stylishly intimate.“

“Outstanding food, attentive wait staff and chef. Great atmosphere!! We will be returning for sure.“

“We really enjoyed our dinner at Peter Pan. The food was fantastic and we loved the vibe there, which felt very "no pressure." No pressure to order any particular thing or to leave within a certain time. We were visiting Toronto, but I'd love to go back just to eat at Peter Pan's again.“

“We stopped in for drinks late after dinner. This is an upscale place with lots of atmosphere, since it is located in the historic 1914 Dominion Bank building. It's worth it to come here just to see the architecture and detailing. The stairs down to the vault were near our table. The building is now an upscale hotel and residence. Our server / bartender was great and there's a nice drink menu. I'm glad we stopped in.“

“Went here for a birthday party for my friend Felix and the food is incredible and super authentic! The wait staff are all Chinese-speaking and it was a great opportunity to try some incredible lamb, pork, chicken, and seafood dishes grilled.

This was my first time trying a century old egg, my friend Boyu told me that this is a dish that separates men from boys in China - and I'm glad to find out that I'm now capable of being a Chinese man.

Great experience, our group was very boisterous and obnoxious, and the wait staff were incredibly patient with us.“

“I’ve been here a few times, and I love the steak & frites, love the creative mocktails, and the atmosphere is really nice and chill. If you’re on a first date, it’s a great place and location. I wanted to give shoutout to Suzanne and Dan, really amazing people with wonderful personalities and of course service. Great job gang!!! 🫡🫡🫡“

“I have never reviewed resteraunts but this place was so good with their service. The attention to detail with what we wanted, the speed food was delivered, the overall ambience was great. They even remembered that I had selected "Birthday" as the special occasion when reserving on Open Table and brought our pain du chocolat with a candle on it! They also have a tiny key ?️ at the end of the meal to keep, the atmosphere was amazing!“

“Beautiful interior decor and very tasty meals! Amazing beer and wine!“

“My wife and I went their for our first time yesterday Sat Mar 24.2018 for our 3 Anniversary and we absolutely loved the food, the service and the real home feeling of this place! We will be back again! Go here when you get a chance!“
