My husband and I had lunch there by luck. I didnt know the place and absolutely loved it. The food was fabulous. The service and vibe are great. I am looking forward to coming for dinner to try the degustation menu. A fabulous place in downtown Toronto that deserves to be jam-packed at lunch and dinner every day of the week!!

The food was outstanding, I savored every bite. Lucie offers warm and friendly service and the atmosphere is cozy, warm and yet stylish. I loved the champagne cart and the kir Royale was divine.

My wife googled best new restaurants and found this gem. If they weren't the nicest people I might be tempted to rate them low to keep our possibilities of being able to get a seat higher. Vist this place soon before they get a star or two and then it will be impossible to get a seat. We sat at the bar for the counter four course tasting menu, different from the longer one at a table. Four courses...if you don't include the canapés, amuse Boucheron, palate cleanser and the final treat that comes with you bill. All I have time to say is...attention to detail...that's what sets them apart from the rest of really good restaurants in TO. You'll know what I mean when you go...like the wall paper matches the menu. The off the menu apple pie old-fashioned was served on a Staub skillet...I could go on. Thanks for the perfect evening guys!!!

Very enjoyable, excellent staff, atmosphere and most of all, the food. We had the "Taster Menu", every item was a very delicious party for my tastebuds. The wine parings were perfect. A beautiful treat for a date night with significant other. Go, bring money, enjoy amazing food.Dietary restrictions: We sat down and they immediately asked about allergies. I let them know that I am allergic to porc. They adapted each dish that had bacon, geletin, etc so that it was not on my plate at all. Amazing.

Unreal food. A la carte menu is top to bottom delicious. It’s also a LOT of food so come hungry. Capped off with amazing service from Lucy(ie?) and the GM. Can’t wait to go again.

I discovered this restaurant while searching for unique culinary experiences in Toronto and I'm very glad to have brought my wife here on a special occasion since we had an unforgettable experience from start to finish.We tried their Menu Émotion and every dish was captivating to our eyes as well as our palettes. A special shout out to Raimey who took the time to explain every dish and how each ingredient complimented each other. Every dish was carefully crafted and neatly presented to create a wonderful dining experience.Thank you to the staff for the memorable experience. It is something my wife and I will never forget and this restaurant will forever have a special place in our hearts. We look forward to coming back in the near future!
Amazing experience at Lucie. Everyone was really attentive and friendly - felt really at ease. The food was great - the ingredients are of high quality and wonderful combination. I never thought I could say this, but it’s like an explosion of flavor in my mouth! Highly recommend!

Restaurant Lucie isn't just a place to eat; it’s a deep dive into the art of fine dining. The atmosphere is as refined as you'd hope for a top-tier Toronto spot, setting the stage for a meal you won't forget.Every dish we tried was a clear display of the chef's excellence and careful attention to detail. We went for the chef’s tasting menu, and it was stunning. I can still taste the flavors of the scallops with chanterelles, roasted almonds, and the sweet sourness of the apples with cider emulsion. This is just one example of the many flavorful dishes that delighted our palates.The service at Lucie was nothing short of spectacular. Watching the team work was like observing a well-conducted orchestra, where every member played their part perfectly, ensuring a seamless and beautiful dining experience.In a world where it's tough to find a truly standout dining experience, Restaurant Lucie shines bright. It's a must-visit for anyone in Toronto who loves to indulge in the finer things and enjoys a meal where every dish is a work of art. It really is something special.

We tried Lucie yesterday and were absolutely blown away. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the manager and the owner, Yannick Bigourdan. The decor is elegant and reminiscent of Paris.Yannick, who has multiple successful restaurants, brought in world-class and award-winning Chef Arnaud Bloquel and Sous Chef Julie Guenat. We decided to opt for their tasting menu, which comprised items from the land, garden, and sea.It's obvious why these chefs were brought in. Every bite was crafted to create an explosion of taste.My standouts were the scallops in black truffle and citrus emulsion, their very creative version of steak tartare, and the duck breast.You have to have a cheese course at a French restaurant; they served Delice de Bourgogne cheese turned into iced cream with pear confit, just wow.We ended our meal with a wonderful creation from Pastry Chef Nanaa Sidibee.We were so impressed with the service, ambiance, and overall experience. In my opinion, this is by far the best French restaurant in Toronto and will definitely earn a Michelin Star soon.Bravo to the entire team at Lucie. We will surely be back soon.

Time and time again, I’m never disappointed with my experience with Lucie. Their menu and dishes are well thought out and very delicious. The only nitpick I have was the marshmallow as I found it to be too sweet for my liking. I prefer the à la carte menu over the tasting menu for its better value, but you can’t go wrong with either.

May just be THE most decadent dining experience in Toronto. Thank you Yannick to you and all your Front of House team who ensured we felt welcomed every moment of our visit.The food is plated beautifully, visually playing with your tastebuds even before you actually taste it.Le Foie Gras with the Black Truffle and Pear Confit was insanely delicious not to mention my Lamb Saddle with the Green Olive cream and the Chickpea reduction jus. Oops, I can’t believe I skipped the 3 exceptional Canapés (that Soup!!!) and the Amuse-Bouche, all delicious and again a wow presentation on each. Finally, the table-side completion of my Le Noisette dessert was the cherry on top. Over all you surpassed all my expectations, delivering an incredible dining experience in a gorgeous environment (loved the shelves in the wine room). Thank you to Chef Julie (and your team) and for coming to our table. Bravo to all the team at Lucie. Merci. I look forward to seeing Michelin on your door very soon.
