What a wonderful little gem to stumble across! My friend and I went here for brunch today and were so happy we did! The food was delicious (both had eggs benedict), atmosphere quaint and very french, and service delightful. Highly recommend!

As a true Swiss we had been searching for a real cheese fondue and found it at Carens. We also had the steak frites, beet salad and chocolate flourless tart. Everything was delicious. The service from our French waiter was outstanding. This place is not pretentious and has great food. We will be back.

Absolutely loved our visit to Carens. The fondue (both cheese and chocolate!) were so delicious and the staff were so attentive and kind. You could tell that they really cared about their service and wanted to create a great atmosphere for guests. I was skeptical because of some of the other reviews, but I would definitely recommend anyone to go here for a intimate date night or with a group.
Had a great time at Caren’s! Ambiance, food, service and Caren herself were all marvellous. Will definitely be

Onion soup didn't have much flavour. I didn't even eat most of it. Shrimps were dripping wet with water. Limp. Mac and Cheese was outstanding as was the salad

I had a tuna Niçoise salad that was inedible. The tuna was very fishy tasting. Despite me informing the waiter he still charged me for the meal. Further, when I told him I felt this was not an appropriate way to handle the situation, he simply told me “he forgot” and did nothing to remedy the situation. Terrible experience.

We had an absolutely spectacular experience on our first visit to Carens Rosedale. My friend and I came from Hamilton and selected this place specifically for the fondue-for-2 menu options. We shared the classic cheese with apples, gerkins, and chorizo add-ons to accompany the delicious bread. We also ordered the warm bowl of olives, which were honestly the best that either of us has ever had - and we KNOW our olives! Of course, we finished with the chocolate fondue for dessert, which comes with strawberries, apples, bananas, homemade marshmallows (OMG - if you've ever tasted a freshly made marshmallow, how could you ever go bag to the bag?). Every morsel was magnificent, and our server, Annie, was at the top of her game front start to finish. If you want a truly elevated and memorable dining experience, you can not go wrong in choosing this place!
I can't think of anything to dock points for. The atmosphere was nice, good lighting with live panio. Service was attentive and friendly. Food was delicious, we had the cheese fondue (highly recommend) and Mac &cheese. Average prices.Will definitely be l returning!
