French Restaurants in Toronto, ON

“A classic French restaurant with a great atmosphere and complimentary cocktails that taste unique.“

“Excellent food and service! Would come back.“

“This was our first time experiencing French cuisine at Lucie in Toronto, and it truly felt like a little escape to France. Lucie offers five distinctive dining experiences. We opted for the seven-course tasting menu, and it was such a lovely, memorable experience. Each course was beautifully presented and intentionally paced, allowing us to fully savor every bite without ever feeling rushed. The service was warm, attentive, and effortlessly refined, which made the evening even more enjoyable.

Their seven course tasting menu consisted of L’Amuse Bouche “Du Jour”, La Saint Jacques, Le Foie Gras, Le Homard, Le Bar, Le Pigeon, Le Griotte and La Banana.

La Saint Jacques was light and refreshing — delicate, bright, and the perfect way to awaken the palate. In contrast, Le Pigeon was bold and deeply flavorful, cooked to perfection with a beautiful balance of richness and refinement. Le Homard, featuring Nova Scotia lobster, was sweet, tender, and incredibly fresh, highlighting the natural brininess of the ocean. Le Bar, made with Atlantic sea bass, was equally impressive — buttery, flaky, and clean in flavour, allowing the freshness of the fish to shine through effortlessly.“

“Ate fish sticks. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻. The milk shakes are awesome especially the Rum chocolate milk shake. Staff is very courteous. Bartender was making some interesting cocktails. Will try next time.“

“Great experience with fine french cuisine and especially warm staff,congratulations 👍“

“This restaurant has an excellent reputation.“

“A charming neighbourhood gem! The menu and ambiance is in keeping with a French bistro, although they do offer pizza and pasta as well. The dishes lean more towards rustic than fine dining, and could use more flavour, but portion sizes are generous.
Thank you to the entire team for always being so hospitable!“

“Delicious and amazing food with a very intimate atmosphere.“

“Fine Dining and interestng shops“

“Really aesthetic restaurant. Friendly staff and amazing tasting brunch. We tried the famous french toast, steak and eggs, eggs Hemingway and eggs florentine, all tasted really really good. They come in generous portions as well. If you go with a big group I suggest sharing a French Toast with the table and also their brunch savory options.“

“Parfait. Wonderful …………….“

“After over 12 years of bringing almost every friend I have to BC, I finally got to celebrate my August birthday in the restaurant( which is usually closed in August) with 19 guests. From the organization to the execution, the evening was superlative. Maya and Hiro know how to be professional, fun, flexible and outstanding! Thank you for a memorable dinner and all-round terrific time.“

“Ngogo was one of my favorite Winterlicious lunches this season. The $27 lunch menu was incredible value and every course was genuinely delicious. The salmon tartare was a standout, and the desserts, especially the toffee pudding and white chocolate mousse, were amazing.

I’ve tried several Winterlicious lunch menus in the same price range and even higher, and this one easily came out on top. It feels underrated and deserves more attention. The space is small with a cozy mom and pop vibe, and everyone there was so warm and welcoming.“

“The place is gorgeous and the food was good especially the fries. The cocktail suggested by the waiter was a really nice take on a Manhattan and his wine suggestions were also a hit. Everything was done well but nothing really popped for me. However I do suggest it as a place to try out.“

“Went here for Valentine’s Day with my husband. The staff and servers were fantastic. There was limited seating so we had to sit beside another couple. As this was not ideal on Valentine’s Day, it didn’t take away from our experience too much.

We paid for a 5 course dinner. This was an overkill in my opinion as we had two mains, chicken with potatoes, and filet mignon with veggies. The former was a little dry in my opinion and the later was cooked perfectly but nothing wow. I wish I had the filet mignon before the chicken. I believe I would have appreciated it more. The apps and dessert were my favourite - caprese salad, lobster bisque, and crème brûle.

This was great to experience once. I’ll definitely try different locations abroad and pick less items.“

“Excellent food and the most amazing staff! Love this restaurant! ❤️❤️❤️“

“感觉很好味道很好环境很好👍“

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

“I have just had my second meal from Noble House. I love ordering from these people the food is high end restaurant quality, starter, main course and delicious dessert always in generous portions.The menus are creative and a wonderful stay at home date night meal.I can’t wait to see what the next offering will be and I know I’ll be booking right away!“

“I must start off by first saying, I have not had dinner In a French style restaurant, inspired or authentic in a very long time. However, the folks at La Palette ushered me back in spectacular fashion. The spot was cozy, warm, chic. I hosted my Halloween tradition there and plan to return the next time I am in toronto. The food was phenomenal, the wine selection was superb, and the desserts were perfect. The team displayed immense knowledge of their food, its pairings and combinations to enhance your experience. The vibe was very European in some essence. I had the steak fries, my fiancée had the duck confit, both dishes were tasty to the note. The steak was seasoned well and tender paired woth their in-house made butter. A solid cheat however....you must try the Malbec Cohor (Chateau Eugene), with the Ganache. Thank me later! Also Conner you rock! Sorry for calling you Sam all night, I do blame my colleagues!“

“We had such a wonderful experience at Biff’s Bistro!

From the moment we arrived, the service was absolutely impeccable - warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It really made the whole experience feel special.

The food was delicious. I had the French onion soup and duck confit, both were rich, comforting, and full of flavor. My husband had the burger au bœuf and loved it as well.

A special mention for the housemade iced tea - it was SO good and such a refreshing surprise!

Overall, we had an amazing time and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great French dining experience in Toronto.“

“By far the best restaurant in Toronto so far. I came here for my birthday and the experience was transcendent. First, the service was top tier level, the waiter that took care of us was gentlemen with a great vibe. Best server I had in my life. They seated us according to our request (nice seating away from the entrance). They also printed a birthday card for me which was very considerate. They also called and emailed asking us very detailed oriented questions ahead of the dinner which was top notch. They also switched our utensils every meal which is a small detail yet powerful dinner experience detail. Sparkling water was also complimentary versus other restaurants. The pace of the food was perfect as well and they also gave me a small birthday cake!

Food was immaculate. An eye opening experience. I cannot even describe the food/art that I have eaten. Nothing disappointed me. They used the best of the best ingredients. Every dish was perfectly curated and every bite was orgasmic. If I was a multi millionaire, I would come here everyday. All the food was at the right temperature, nothing got stuck to our teeth, and I would say the egg & toast dish was one very memorable.

Now as for the atmosphere, the decor was elegant but the restaurant isn’t very big, thus the difficulty of getting a reservation. It was comfy and treated us extremely well.

Overall I recommend it for special occasions, not for a huge party but great for 4 people family or with your significant other. I will be coming back for sure one day.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very good food at reasonable prices“

“Never been before went for a family dinner two brothers and family friend one brother and family friend said it was good - and so right they were the food was outstanding and they were able to accommodate allergies I did not pay so far I not know final tally but “

“Went for the first time on a busy Saturday for brunch. Setting is unique and food was incredible. We didn't even notice but I guess the manager felt like the food took too long so they comped our entire meal. The service was always attentive anyway and we got drinks in between. Highly recommend. They have high standards for service and honor that.“

“Nice little local spot with great atmosphere. We had a group of 8 and we were well treated. We had a variety of food from tacos to seafood pasta to steak and it was all tasty. The drinks were good and they had a good choice of reasonably priced bottles of wine.“

“Great place for a birthday celebration . Interesting menu and cocktails all delicious“

“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.“

“Union is a nice and cozy restaurant. The cocktails we ordered (the magnolia spritz and the union martini) weren’t particularly strong. In fact, we were questioning whether they added any alcohol at all. But perhaps that’s our personal taste. The food, overall, was okay. We had the dry aged steak, fish, ribs and hen. Of the four, the fish was the tastiest dish. The hen was cooked well and the chalet sauce paired well with it. On the other hand, we were let down by the steak, which did not have any dry aged flavour whatsoever. Texturally, the ribs felt as they were cooked the day before and reheated, giving them somewhat of a stale and chewy feel. We also ordered three desserts: the orange chocolate tart, the cheesecake and the ginger cake with ice cream. I would strongly recommend the ginger cake and ice cream. The cake was sweet and fluffy and the contrast of heat and cold from the ice cream was lovely. The cheesecake was just okay but the tart was a disappointment; we left most of it on the plate. Overall, a decent experience with a couple of hits and misses.“

“Definitely felt like I was in Paris again. The steak frites were perfect, duck confit juicy and full of flavour. Excellent service. The only thing was, I was very disappointed in the French onion soup. It was bland and flavourless, for the price I expected it to at least be good. The pear tart was also a very strange combination of flavours, maybe too sweet for me? Looking past the 2 appetizers, I had a great meal.“

“Brittany and Skye took excellent care of us. The cocktails were varied and delicious and the food was well prepared and presented beautifully. We had a ribeye, the lamb, and the cauliflower “steak”. Everyone was pleased. Highly recommended.“

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

“A very cosy uptown restaurant ! I have been several times over the years and it never disappoints. Was there again last night and have to say the veal scallopini was excellent. It was a tough choice as there are so many delicious things on the menu. The friendly and excellent service, food and ambiance was perfect. A big thank you to the staff for such an enjoyable evening. Look forward to going back sometime soon. Sue H“

“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!!“

“Mmmmmmmm soso so good !!!!“

“I'd you need to stock up on French sourced supplies, worth a visit. Seasonally rotated products, cheeses and butter with salt crystals (yes!) in the case by the cash. Sélections of juices, treats, pastries candies... A delightful shop. Fair warning.... Si vous parlez français à votre arrivée, vous devez continuer jusqu'à la fin.“

“Great French restaurant that has always been super busy so make sure to make reservations. The volume can get quite loud as you sit at bistro style tables and are close to other parties. But the food and service make up for that and it is part of the ambiance of a French restaurant.“

“I'm sure they don't need ANOTHER Google review - this place is an institution, and if you don't think it's good, you don't know what you're talking about - but here goes.
We recently moved back to the hood, and I wanted to come back here because I have great memories of brunches here 25 years ago. Well, it's still great. So come here and eat something.“

“Had a latte, my friend had a chocolat viennois (the best hot chocolate!) and we shared a gateaux basque. Each item was très délicieux, and the gateaux had an impeccable texture. Pretty place to eat, friendly staff and efficient service.“

“Such a lovely coffee stop! I had a cappuccino and a macchiato, both perfectly made, and the chocolate almond croissant was absolutely delicious — flaky, rich, and just the right amount of sweet.
Aryan, the barista, made the experience even better. He was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what he does. You can really feel the good vibes here. Will definitely be back!“

“The food was incredible. Music levels are moderate so it allows for meaningful conversations. Ambiance is great at the front. However, it appeared that they didn't put the same effort with the decor and service with the table behind the bar. Also, most importantly, we thought all the items on the valentines fix prix menu was included on the 85$ special. However, when I was paying the bill at the end, I realized that they added extra fees for the scallops and steak. I have no issue those items being extra $, however, the server should have informed us about the extras before. The 85$ expected bill came over 140$. The food was delicious - that's the only reason I will give this restaurant another chance with this scammy behaviour.“

“Been coming here for years. It’s a great place for great food at a reasonable price“

“Loved it , the food is delicious 😋.. and the kale 🥬 salad / amazing.“

“Not a bad note at any time. Monica is a very good server who is knowledgeable, engaging but not smothering. There when needed. The food is inventive and so tasty. Small bites. Two of us ordered five dishes and loved them all. The sommelier, Tessa, makes an amazing Arancello (better than Limoncello)! Her wine list is interesting and extensive, covering most types and regions, but we would have liked more bottles from Ontario, although the ones provided are all really good. We shall be back.“

“We had an amazing experience there, great atmosphere, excellent food, and a wonderful service experience. We felt completely at home with the hospitality imparted by the serving staff, especially Tristan, his calm demeanour and attention to detail were not unnoticed by our party.“

“Ambiance is artsy. Don’t wear a suit or tie“

“if you love Portugese chicken this is the place to go...707 college THE BEST.“
