French Restaurants in Toronto, ON

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

“My husband and I had such an amazing experience at Lucie from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, everyone was so welcoming and friendly, and the service was absolutely amazing throughout the entire evening. Everything felt so well thought out, and you could really tell that a lot of care goes into making sure every guest has a great experience.

We had the turbot and the foie gras, and both were incredible, but the foie gras was definitely the standout for us. It was beautifully presented and honestly SO delicious.

Thank you so much to everyone at Lucie for such a wonderful evening. We absolutely loved our experience and will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Excellent food and service! Would come back.“

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

“This restaurant has an excellent reputation.“

“Such a rare find in Toronto! Amazing brunch with delicious food, great portion sizes, and authentic European vibes. I noted my birthday on our OpenTable reservation, and the team went out of their way to bring out a sweet Danish after our meal—so nice and thoughtful. Top-tier, attentive service from start to finish!!🫶🏼✨“

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

“If you appreciate the absolute pinnacle of culinary precision, understated elegance & world-class hospitality, Alo is not merely a restaurant—it is a masterclass in modern fine dining. Discreetly tucked away on the top floor of a Victorian building at Spadina and Queen, stepping out of the elevator into this minimalist, polished space feels like entering a private, elevated sanctuary far above the noise of the city.

The atmosphere is effortlessly sophisticated: muted tones, warm ambient lighting & a seamlessly orchestrated front-of-house team that operates with quiet, surgical choreography. There is zero posturing here - just pure, unadulterated dedication to the craft.“

“Fine Dining and interestng shops“

“Came here for Sunday brunch and really enjoyed the overall experience. First off, I love that they take reservations — always a plus for brunch. It also wasn’t overwhelmingly busy for a Sunday, which made for a much more relaxed meal. The space is super cute and the service was decent.

We tried a few things. The eggs Benedict on a croissant was good, but honestly the breakfast potatoes were the highlight for me — so good and probably my favourite thing on the plate. One small thing: the tiny little jars they give you for ketchup and mayo are ridiculously small. You basically have to dump the whole thing out to get anything 😂.

The burger was tasty, although slightly dry, and the fries were good.

The French toast was another standout. The blueberry sauce was honestly one of the best I’ve had — really delicious. I wasn’t a huge fan of the whipped cream on top and wish the French toast itself had been served warm, because I think that would’ve made it significantly better.

Overall, nothing was perfect, but it was a really enjoyable brunch with cute vibes, good food, and some definite standouts. I’d come back, especially for those potatoes and that blueberry sauce.“

“Parfait. Wonderful …………….“

“Throughout the years, this is a go-to spot for us for inventive dishes, thought provoking wine pairings, and impeccably attentive service that amplifies the quality time with the people we are there with. It's maintained that high quality, foodie vibe, without losing its neighbourhood centric, best-kept-secret charm. How they did this while moving from Parkdale and overcoming a fire, I'll never know. Please go. Of note, they have always been incredibly detail-oriented and consistent with attending to my guy's anaphylactic dairy allergy. Spectacular, considering it's French cuisine origins. Still in my top 3 all-time tasting menu moments, and 2 of my all time most memorable dishes. Cheers, Chantecler - much love.“

“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.“

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

“We celebrated my aunt’s 80th birthday at Le Petit Chef Toronto. It was a delightful evening. Food, drink, service, and atmosphere were great! The highlight was watching my aunt and mother laugh and smile watching the table cloth change color and Le Petit Chef running around preparing and plating our dinner! 🥰“

“感觉很好味道很好环境很好👍“

“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!“

“We had our first dinner at Maison T on June 25. The food was excellent (short ribs and duck breast were our mains). The service was attentive, prompt and very personalized (our son and daughter-in-law were with us and had dined there for their anniversary). Kudos to the excellent chef and Carolina.“

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

“Incredible spot. We visited for the first time over a week ago and it was truly a memorable experience. The ambiance is captivating and makes you feel as if you are in Paris. The food was delicious and I loved the exposed kitchen in the heart of the restaurant.

Harsh is so kind and hospitable and we will surely be back because of his memorable service. I highly recommend La Palette for anyone interested in a unique and memorable dining experience in the city.“

“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.“

“Absolutely loved Biffs. The staff was amazing. I have allergies and they took care of me as if it was a normal off the menu item. I can't say enough about the service! I had the Salmon Salad dish and by far it was the best I have ever had. I got a special dessert which was a chocolate mousse, absolutely delightful. My freind had the creme brulee and thought it was fantastic. I like that its just a few minutes walk from Union Station. We just did a walk in and got seated. They do have specials. Genuinely Exceptional!“

“Good service! Got the steak tartare (snack size), which had an interesting mix of sour and spice. The bread came out toasted hot, so I had to wait a bit before eating it. Tasted alright, but it wasn’t exceptional and I wouldn’t go out of my way to get it again.“

“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.“

“Very good food at reasonable prices“

“Nathan is an amazing server. I felt like such a jerk cuz I didn't know there were chia seeds on the fruit salad and I just can't do those, and he happily fixed it for me. Great demeanor, friendly service, everything looks so pretty, espresso martinis are insanely good.“

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

“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.“

“Mmmmmmmm soso so good !!!!“

“I occasionally order the blackened branzino to go and through various delivery apps when I’m too lazy to cook at home. Avant Gout has some great picks especially when you’re not sure what you’re in the mood for. The branzino is cooked to perfection, nice sauce on the base, roasted potatoes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Interior of the restaurant is a little out dated however it doesn’t take away from the good food they serve.

I’ll continue joining them, as it’s consistent and healthy compared to other options out there. Little on the pricy side.“

“2026 July 4★
Authentic French single aisle store that has bakery, chocolates, candies, drinks, condiments and other non perishable goods.
Summer truffle carpaccio $20.80 net 40g
Pretty good. Exactly as expected and flavorful. Only wished they had a larger bottle.“

“I LOVE Maison Selby. It is a family favourite ( and mine!) Since it opened Unfortunately we found it looking a little " tired" on our visit on Friday. The chairs needed repairing. The cane was broken The servers left the door open to the patio to ease their job. Unfortunately as it is late summer there were a number of bees and wasps in our section There was one man at the bar and two tables occupied on the terrace. My friend and I in the conservatory. Other than that it was very quiet. No specials were offered re food I don't believe that they do that anyway. Nor any on wines. We were celebrating two old ladies birthdays 72 and 81. No special mention was made of this I will return as I still love the place. It was disappointing though“

“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.“

“Cute decor in every detail. Staff is proud of their products. Well curated menu. The only issue was (I should have mentioned to them in person) one of the dish was overly salty. I didn’t wanna waste food so I finished it but the table next to us left more than half a plate (so I knew it wasn’t just me). Nonetheless I enjoyed their July menu and will visit again.“

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

“Valeriia, I want to thank you for a perfect evening on May 2nd. You made it easy for me pre-event, in terms of your help with planning. You answered my questions as we went along and provided good advice. The event itself was a huge success. The staff were excellent in terms of knowing when to bring out food, when to pass it and when to place it on the buffet table. Staff kept the gluten free food separate which made it easy for guests to find it - you even placed the gluten free cards I had brought. Beverage service was professional and the wines Valeriia selected were enjoyed by all. I had one guest with some very specific dietary requirements and Chef made a small plate for her which was ready when she arrived which was very much appreciated. The guests commented on the quality of the food and staff. Several people said that they would now come back to Le Select for dinners. I would strongly recommend Le Select for events.“

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

“What a great little place! My friend and I came for brunch and everything was amazing. The service was friendly, and the food was delicious. We tried the beef tartare, I got Croquettes Madame, and my friend had a burger. I’ve had better Croquettes Madame in Paris, France, so I can tell you these might be the best I’ve tried in Canada. The beef tartare was great too - honestly, I would say way above average.

Definitely will be back to try more things. Loved the vibe too. Inside, it really felt like you were somewhere in a little French bistro.“

“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.“

“Au Pain Doré is one of the most underrated coffee shops in Toronto. I love everything here, the coffee, pastries, and sweets are always fresh and delicious. I think it doesn’t get the recognition it deserves, possibly because of limited advertising or its older-style design. But the quality is exceptional. Highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for amazing coffee and fresh baked goods❤️‍🔥❤️😋🪭“

“This is a nice upscale neighbourhood coffee shop, they have amazing coffee, delicious pastries and scrumptious cakes. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I make sure to stop by whenever I’m in the area.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“I had dinner at La Plume last night (second time there) and it's now one of my favourite French restaurants in Toronto. Service and food were both top notch.

Pictured are a Dirty Martini, Scallop Tartare (nice and zesty), Escargot and Mushroom Toast (delicious, but a filling appetizer), Hudson Valley Duck Breast (medium rare, and tender), and the Beef Bourguignon (it's a chunk of meat, not a stew). Only disappointment is that the Seared Scallops (not pictured) was a very small appetizer.

All in all, a great meal, and definitely going back again!“

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