There was only 1 (2?) item on the menu that was vegetarian (the restaurant was chosen by someone else in the group). The chef prepared something vegetarian, but the waitress seemed annoyed by it. The atmosphere was nice and the mocktail delicious. Definitely make a reservation.Vegetarian options: 1 or 2 menu items were vegetarian, but the chef made me something (not of my choosing). It was good, though not amazing. The beet salad was amazing.
What an experience!!! After a long drive from Toronto we were welcomed with open arms and Chef Alex Kemp from our home and native land, worked his magic and "got us fed" The food was top notch, flavourful, fresh and perfect ? thank you to the warm staff who added to the perfection of the evening.

We sat at the bar table and it was a vibe. Very busy as a fine dining spot, but I got the hype! They change menu daily based on what is fresh.＊ Sea Urchin, Sweet Potato ?They mashed sea urchin and sweet potato into a creamy mixture, and delicately poured it into a sea urchin shell. Breadcrumbs were added for extra crunch and texture. I appreciated the creativity of flavors and presentation of this starter.＊ Green Garlic Escar-roll ?MY FAVORITE of the night or maybe even in the entire Philly trip. It was a brioche roll soaked in green garlic sauce packed with chunks of escargot, topped with shredded cheese. So so soooo buttery. A tasty match made in heaven.＊ Duck Breast, Kumquats, BeetsMy friend’s favorite! Perfectly cooked meat with a golden crispy skin and pinkish center. The kumquats and beets were some delightful sides to dip with the sauce.＊ Littleneck Clams, Fennel, Kielbasa, VermouthThe saltiness from fennel sausages and briny taste of the clams blended pretty well tgt. It came with French fries with malt vinegar aioli which we really enjoyed。＊ Banoffee Pie Eclair ?I am a sucker for banoffee pies and this eclair version was incredible. It featured a choux pastry shell filled with layers of toffee cream, sliced bananas, and whipped cream. I wish this could be on the menu forever so I could order it again.＊ Rosemary Fig HighballA rosemary-forward mocktail. Very refreshing and appetizing to pair with our meal.

The atmosphere is good and service is great, but the food was disappointing. It’s overpriced for what it is. I went based on the server’s recommendations, but both the pickled shrimp and the duck were just so so. Not bad, but I expected more based on what I read on Eater and google reviews.

I’m not usually one to post negative reviews, but I went to My Loup back in December with my family. I ordered the chicken entree and it came out with the entire center completely raw. I had to second guess myself because I couldn’t fathom that a restaurant of their caliber would serve a customer raw chicken, but we shined our flash lights on it and it wasn’t just undercooked, it was translucent and raw. They took it back, took it off the bill, and gave us a complimentary dessert. They were very quiet about it, and no one came out to apologize or explain. Based on reviews and the write ups this restaurant has been getting, I’m sure that this could have been a one off experience, but this was by far the worst dining experience I’ve ever had anywhere. It was disgusting.

What a fantastic experience. The food was somehow more glutinous and also more refined than you’d expect from a French style restaurant. We sat at the bar and our bartender was fabulous. She was knowledgeable and answered all our stupid questions about what the heck the words meant on the menu. To top it off we got a bone marrow luge. Don’t ask; just marvel. This is a top tier restaurant and we only know about it because we loved her place supper club so much. THE DUCK WAS CHEATING. So good. Get anything - it’s all so thoroughly thought out you’ll be happy. The chocolate cake was definitely a take on a diner slice. A+

Disappointing and frustrating — beware. We had to cancel a reservation due to illness (several hours in advance) and they hit us with a $50 charge (when it is clear they were easily able to fill our two-top). They also never responded to our correspondence. I guess their interest in work-life balance clearly only goes one way —

Decided to try out My Loup on a brisk Tuesday evening after hearing high praises for months. Overall we had a good time, but a few negatives brought us down to a 4/5 instead of a 5/5. The interior and vibes inside were great, with chic decorations and a relaxing atmosphere. Unfortunately we were seated right behind the host stand and under the heater - resulting in direct blasts of heat on a recurring basis for our table and the other nearby tables. Service was good throughout, however not particularly notable for the price tag. The menu and drink options were very interesting - although I didn't appreciate the high price of some beers which weren't even a draft pour.The food we ordered on the whole was impressive, with the cold roast beef being a clear standout and the highlight of the meal. The halibut we received however was covered in an unappetizingly gloopy sauce, and overall overcooked. The ice cream which was given for free at the end was quite tasty however.Had an interesting time, likely wouldn't return for the cost.
Was able to get a seat at the bar and loved My Loup. From the welcome at the front door by a gentleman that exuded pure hospitality I new I was in for a treat. The bartender with her awesome Sopranos era shirt, complete knowledge of the cocktails program, wines and every detail of the intricate gastro menu should win an award if she has not already.The chef and culinary staff are on point and will not disappoint.Beautiful and perfectly shucked Cape May oysters , The pickled shrimp with Aioli and saltines I ordered because I have never had them and it was a top fav. Fluke with winter radishes delish, smoked fish and trout roe on the most amazing crispy and well seasoned Pommes Anna (not an easy execution) all Amaze!Was full but had to try the sweetbreads brochette with cockles and sea beans. Not only because the Oysters, clams and cockles is one of my favorite scenes in GOT, but I have never had sweetbread's out side of a French restaurant that I know can execute them well. AND the kitchen nailed it...incredible.Finished off with a Fernet and Coke ice cream float because it just sounded so cray but again was perfect together.Deff top meal of 2024 so far and highly recommend if you can get it. Dont be me and plan ahead to make sure you get an awesome treat at My Loup.

From the moment I stepped in the room, I felt welcomed into a glamorous dinner party. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and you can tell that it’s going to be a great experience before seeing the menu. In the center of the dining area is an island of wines. Super inviting. Pour me one of each. The meal was expertly prepared and served. We started with a selection of items from the Raw part of the menu. Each element, oysters, razor clams, shrimp, tasted amazing and the diversity of flavors was a pleasure. It was difficult to keep from licking the sauces off the plates because they were prepared so exquisitely. It helped to get a spoon. We had the EscaRoll, which is a savory take on a spiral bun, with escargot, garlic and parsley. Chef Alex came out frequently with dishes and we felt like special guests. Our server encouraged us to try wines before pouring a full glass. We had the foie gras preparation of the night. Then, duck breast came out perfectly executed. Another spectacular sauce. Dessert was a sundae called a creamsicle, a bouquet of flavors and textures. Since the menu changes frequently, I can’t know if you’ll have what I had, but I advise you to trust the kitchen to deliver a memorable meal. Highly recommend.

After being a big Her Place fan for a few years I was excited to finally get a reservation at My Loup. This place is truly SO special and I have never been so excited to write a review. As someone who works in marketing for a hospitality group this restaurant showcases how important hospitality is and how good they are at it. Grab a seat at the bar on a Friday night at 9pm and let them cook for you. You won't be disappointed!

My loup is a quaint little cozy spot. The service really shines here. It’s a bit loud for a fine dining spot, but they work with it. We ordered a handful of items and they were all good. The escargot roll is amazing as was the sourdough. My family loved each of the selections. The servers were fun and interactive. They were busy but definitely made you feel like they wanted to be present with you and give an individualized experience. It’s. A tad difficult to find because of its size and because it’s a long thin building.The key lime milk punch was amazing. I’m not usually a fan of gimmick drinks, but this was no gimmick. Just really tasty clear key lime pie flavor! Definitely give it a shot.
There was only 1 (2?) item on the menu that was vegetarian (the restaurant was chosen by someone else in the group). The chef prepared something vegetarian, but the waitress seemed annoyed by it.
