Incredibly fresh food, vibrant bursting flavors, unequaled ambiance and coziness and service that felt as world class as the food. What more could you want? I look forward to the day I can come back.

Rude host. We put our name down and he said it would be one hour wait. We went to a close by bar and we came back 1 hour later. A couple in front of us just walked in and was seated immediately. I asked the host why they got seated and he did not reply. I asked about our status again and he told us we could not loiter at the entrance even though the white couple ahead of us loitered for a few minutes. Will never go there again and will ensure all our friends, colleagues, and everyone we know are aware of this unacceptable behaviour in 2024 in Toronto.

Côte de Boeuf delivers a charmingly relaxed yet refined dining experience that hits all the right notes. The service strikes a perfect balance—attentive without any pretense, making you feel at ease from the moment you step in.

As for the food, the steak frites is a must-try: perfectly cooked, tender beef paired with golden, crispy fries. The duck fat dipped roast with mascarpone is chefs kiss.
It’s the kind of place where the food is indulgent but never over the top, making it a neighborhood gem for casual yet memorable meals.

Extremely bad service with rude servers who don’t give you the time of day.

For a recent date night, we decided to try Cote du Boeuf, and it did not disappoint. We started with fresh oysters, followed by a perfectly cooked 48oz cote de boeuf steak served with duck fat potatoes and seasonal vegetables—plenty for two and absolutely exquisite. The flavors were rich, and each bite was a treat. The service was impeccable, attentive without being intrusive, adding to the overall experience. While it is on the pricier side, the quality and portions make it well worth it. Highly recommended for a special night out!

We were for dinner. Summer night on patio. Great vibes! Service a bit slow as it was super busy. Given the name you would expect great steak but nothing exceptional but still delicious! Beef tartar was great!

Had high hopes for this restaurant, but was very disappointed. They served our burgers rare without any notice or question about how we’d like them cooked. The burgers tasted different from each other. One was served cooked to perfection with the perfect ratio of toppings, the other was practically inedible. Also very overpriced.

Food was okay, we enjoyed the beef tartar and escargot, but the medium-rare steak we asked for was instead closer to medium/medium-well.

Service could have been better. The older gentleman was nice. The girl working there looked like she hated her job and ignored us twice when we tried to wave her down for our bill. When we finally got our bill from the male waiter and asked for a box to pack up the bread (why waste food if we can take it home and heat it up the next day as breakfast?), we never got it. He'd remember to come give us the pos machine and take the receipt, but couldn't get us the takeout box he had promised three times. Strange.

Quality ingredients meet flavor and a punch of umami, the food was on point and to expectations of this casual spot. Place is tiny and could feel crowded. Amazed at how much food comes out from the tiny kitchen at the back. Service cab be more attentive. Pricey for the overall experience, worth a try...

Finally tried Cote de Boeuf, known for its tartare and butcher shop roots. The extended patio was nice, but the tartare, while good, didn’t quite live up to the hype. The eggplant had an interesting flavor, but wasn’t for us.

Unfortunately, the cocktails were also a bit underwhelming. Overall, a decent experience, but the food and drinks didn’t stand out.

I've been here quite a bit but never felt comfortable leaving a review. The tartare is always excellent! I love the suggested wine pairings the make when I've dined here, too. Our servers and the hostesses have always been great, too. However, the manager Felix is a bit of a flirt. This most recent time he made our table of attractive women feel uncomfortable.
