I went around 5pm on a weekday. Had a $10 martini (HH price), half dozen oysters, endive salad, French onion soup, and their crème brûlée... ate everything. Would have licked the plates. 1) it was a strong martini. Lovely 2) BEAUTIFUL oysters and I eat a lot of oysters 3) sweet and nutty endive salad. Crunchy from the nuts, crispy from the endives, sweet dressing with some chili flakes to wrap it all together. Didn't lick my plate, but I did lick my fork all the way to my fingers 4) hearty French onion soup. Wasn't too salty. Good amount of bread and cheese. Fabulous. Comforting 5) ended it all with crème brûlée. Not the smoothest, but they had vanilla bean in it and a nice crust on top, so I'm not complaining.

After years of having this place on my radar, a friend and I finally came here for breakfast and we…read morewere not disappointed. We arrived shortly after they opened, the aesthetic is eclectic and simple. The seating arrangements are comfortable and available indoors and outdoors. We both got their classic breakfast with double smoked bacon; I opted for a beer ginger drink and my friend ordered a chai latte with oat milk. She really enjoyed her drink, and it was a decent size. Whereas my beer and ginger juice was delicious yet on the small side, especially since ice cubes took up a lot of space. As for the meal itself, the eggs with crème fraîche was out of this world! They were the most delicious eggs I've ever eaten. I wish the portion was slightly bigger. The double smoked bacon was perfectly cooked and not greasy. It was thick and not overly salty. They fill up the rest of the plate with 3-4 slices of sourdough and I appreciated that they butters the toast and offered us jam. Overall the plate was fresh and delicious. I' savoured each bite. The service was good, attentive and friendly. Towards the end of our meal, it was getting busy and the noise volume increased, so just a heads up to anyone who doesn't like loud spaces. The music was on point though and I can imagine on a warmer day, the patio would also be a cool vibe to experience. One note I feel is needed to mention is the bathroom. I almost missed the steps descending down to the bathroom because the area is poorly lit. This is a safety issue. Secondly, if you're tall like me, the stalls are very tight and claustrophobic. I barely had any room in the stall and it was very uncomfortable; be careful if you're bringing your purse/phone cause there's no space and I could easily see how things can drop in the toilet. I would highly recommend the business investing into this a little more.

I tried the smoked salmon eggs Benedict, as well as a bacon, sausage, and two-egg plate. It was a mix of hits and misses: the Benedict was cooked to perfection, but the bacon and sausages were both overly dry and the bacon was salty. Service, on the other hand, was attentive throughout. Overall, I'd give it 4 stars -- the great service and pleasant atmosphere made up for the inconsistent food quality.

It was also a nice and homey looking place with calming colours and vibes. However, to me the food was nothing to stand out. It wasn't bad by all means, but not much that blew my mind away, especially for that price point. For the appetizer I had the gnocchi, which the sauce it came in was amazing. I would go back just for the sauce, but maybe with a different pasta. For the main, I had the chicken which was good, but too sweet for me personally, and a little dry. The potatoes and apple it came with was good but again nothing too crazy. Finally for desserts I had the cheesecake, which again was good, but tasted like any other regular cheesecake. Nothing special about it. Overall, it's a nice place with great service, but the food is not mind blowing for me to want to rush back.

Would have liked a bit more of that lovely gruyere cheese. - Steak and Frites: A bit disappointing, as I would have liked it a bit more tender and flavourful. Fries were fairly standard. - Smoked Trout Benedict: Liked how smoky the trout was. Vibe is friendly and casual vibe. Kitchen was really slow. Prices are on the higher end for brunch, but you pay up for the atmosphere. Overall, a pretty good spot to visit.

It's probably one of my favourite French restaurants in Toronto right now. We always end up ordering the same things because... why mess with a good thing: oysters, scallop crudo, steak tartare, the half duck, dry-aged ribeye, fish (usually cod or salmon), and whatever seasonal veggies they're offering. I won't pretend I'm an expert on French cuisine, but flavour-wise, Chantecler did great. Their steak tartare is easily in my top 5 at the moment. The half duck is also my favorite here, with dry-aged duck breast + duck confit leg and both cooked beautifully. The jus adds a little tangy note that cuts through the richness of the duck so well. And when I find myself randomly craving their tartare and duck dish... yeah, that's my cue to go back again, probably soon.

Instead we insisted on braving the elements. During the hour long wait outside on the sidewalk the outdoor patio umbrella began waving precariously to and fro in the strong windstorm.

On top of that, the parking validation wasn't working that day, adding a bit of frustration to the end of the meal. ​Tip: If you do go, try to visit on a Sunday so you can park on the street for free and avoid the garage fees.

This area has relatively high standards as it caters mainly to the folks who reside in this area (an exception or two the rule) so if a place doesn't satisfy at this price point they don't get repeat business. I was very impressed by the food that I tried. The lamb shank is seasoned well and they sides are of high quality as well. Almost fall of the bone and good sauce to boot. The red beet salad though being not off beat item is done well as well. I enjoyed the dessert as well. (carrot cake and flourless chocolate cake both being good) So impressed was I that I ended up doing a re-order very quick. I think an in person visit is due soon. Good stuff I will revisit/reorder
