A 6-course set menu that doesn’t even include dessert. The $18 scoop of blood orange sorbet did taste good… but was it worth $18? I’m still not convinced. Let’s start with the lobster — it was extremely fishy, and unfortunately the sauce only intensified that flavor. I really didn’t enjoy it. The red veal with tuna tartare stuffed in milk bread and topped with caviar, however, was absolutely delicious. That was definitely one of the highlights of the meal. Next, the seabream. The fish itself had a noticeable bitterness, to the point where even the sauce couldn’t mask it. That was quite disappointing. As for the wild pigeon — it was far too rare for my liking. It honestly felt like I was biting into a live pigeon 😂. Aside from those three dishes, the rest were decent. So not everything was a letdown. Maybe I just went on a day when the menu wasn’t at its best… who knows. Still, I do feel that a set course should include dessert 🥲 It would’ve been a nice way to cleanse the palate and end the meal properly. ⭐️ Please note this review is based solely on my personal experience. Everyone has different tastes and preferences.

I visited Edulis at the beginning of January and honestly debated if I should leave this review. But my experience was sub par at best, especially given the price point.
I got food poisoning after eating here. I am certain it was from their food as I felt sick and the food came back up within 30 minutes of the end of my meal.
Even if I overlooked that part, the meal itself was underwhelming. I felt like the food was complicated for the sake of being complicated. The bread was cold and burnt at the bottom. I was shocked that they couldn’t even scrape off the burnt bits before serving it to me. The butter was kind of bland as well.
We had a dish that included uni, scallop and caviar, which i expected to have strong distinct flavours. But all I could taste was the milk bread soaked in beef jus that it came in.
I also felt like the desserts, while they were tasty, were massive in comparison to the food portions. I would expect that given this dining experience is chef’s choice, the menu would be designed to leave diners full by the end of it. Why would the dessert portions be bigger than the main courses?
The service staff were very nice and attentive, but I do agree with some of the other reviewers that they may be a little bit performative, but to each their own.
Overall I came in with high expectations given the price point, difficulty getting a reservation and the fact that they received a Michelin star for 2025. But left rather disappointed in the taste & quality of the dishes. I unfortunately cannot recommend this restaurant and I think that your money can be better spent elsewhere. Don’t be fooled by the Michelin star.

Hands down the best dining experience I’ve ever had. It doesn’t just live up to the hype, it exceeds it in every way. From start to finish the experience is thoughtful, unforgettable, and worth every bit of anticipation. Already dreaming about when I can go back!!

Normally Michelin star restaurants are a one time experience but Edulis is different, we keep coming back for the well-thoughout dishes, incredible flavour and very knowledgable hosts. Cannot wait for my next visit

Lovely intimate venue with only 24 seats, excellent service and a carefully crafted selection of top notch dishes.
The atmosphere they create is very pleasant with attention to detail and a nice soundtrack.
Be sure to spend some time checking out their extensive collection of menus from meals the chefs had across their travels.
Not easy to get a table but well worth the wait!
Our seating was close to 4 hours in duration, would have appreciated a slightly faster service as my only critique.

Phenomenal experience! Edulis was a highlight of our culinary tour in Toronto, with awesome staff and amazing menu 🤩
A personalised menu and intimately curated “homely“ atmosphere makes for a truly special dining experience.
We may have gone a bit too hard with the home made bread and butter but thankful to our server who didn’t cut our supply off completely 😅
I think my expectations were certainly met during my first experience at Edulis.
We respected the rule of not being on our phones during the meal service, which is something I think some of the other reviewers here should try next time they go! All in all, dishes were very well executed and the attention to detail was felt in each dish served.
Great service, cheers to David who was very personable, down-to-earth, and added an extra touch to the enjoyment we felt during this evening.
Desert was excellent as well. We had the sweet potato cheesecake, the fig ice milk, and the chocolate caramel tart. All of them were excellent. I enjoyed their house made nocino liquer as well.
I will definitely be back another season!

The wait was well worth it. We had a fantastic evening, and the food exceeded our expectations. Amazing value for how good the food is and how much you get. You could tell in every dish just how fresh and well thought out all of the ingredients were. The flavours and sauces in everything were to die for! Philip our server was the cherry on top! We also added on the jamon and 2 desserts and were very full at the end!
My favourite dish we had was the mahone shucked bay scallop with caviar,. It truly was the best dish I've ever had in my life.
Amazing experience and can't recommend it enough!

Absolutely one of the best restaurants in Canada. Service is impeccable, kind, and professional. Food showcases the incredible care and thought that’s gone into not only cooking but sourcing the ingredients used in all the dishes. GO. HERE. NOW.

So cozy, warm, welcoming and non-pretentious while serving the best tasting, local food I have ever had. The service was as good as the food, it’s clear why this place has been open for so long. Thank you for an amazing birthday dinner!!

Ranked no.4 best restaurant in Canada! Very difficult to book. Today grabbed a booking, Good cooking, service also very good and atmosphere is cosy! Unfortunately tonight we had a very loud female customer in our next table which spoiled the night a bit! Highly recommended
