The prix fixe is available as 2 course or 3 course, with a slightly lower cost for 3 course vegetarian. There is also a fairly extensive cocktail and wine menu. We went with 2, 2 course meals, sharing the appetizer and dessert. For the appetizer we had the "Feuilleté au Chèvre", a baked potato, leek and goats cheese pastry with a side garden salad. The salad was well dressed, with a great mustard based dressing. The tart was perfectly composed, great balance of pastry, vegetables and cheese. For the entrees, we had the "Magret de Canard" and "Coq au Vin". Both were excellent - perfectly cooked, and great accompaniments; but the red wine sauce with the chicken was the standout. For dessert we shared the "Clafoutis aux Poires", pears baked in thin layers of pastry with vanilla ice cream. It was freshly baked, and not too sweet - so a great end to the dinner. The overall service was great - well timed, not over bearing and friendly. This is a great place for the the special occasion or treat;

COZY FRENCH BISTRO w/ PRIX FIXE MENU…read more Le Baratin is a cozy bistro with limited seating, thus advance reservation is a MUST. The atmosphere is quite warm and casual, and is ideal for date nights and special occasions. They offer a Prix Fixe menu and can choose between 2-course and 3-course meal. Service is amazing and our server is very kind to answer our MANY questions about the menu. He also gave us a few recommendations, which was greatly appreciated. Food is excellent! For appetizers, the mussels were HUGE and very fresh. For entrees, duck breast was our favorite - meat was very tender, perfectly cooked, and went well with the carrot puree. In addition, the sauce is very flavorful which really elevates the dish! Overall rating for our experience was a solid 4.5-star, and I ended up giving them a 4 (on the Yelp scale) probably related to the desserts. The desserts were awesome, but it lacks the "wow" factor I found from their appetizers and entrees. I'd definitely visit again, and I look forward to changing to a 5-star rating next time!

It's a fusion, international concept. Definitely not a jack of all trade, master of none. Master on quite a number of dishes! The Indian fried chicken sliders were marinated so well, so flavourful and still moist in the inside! The smoked meat slider was absolutely delicious. Both of them were so tasty that you would like to eat it full size and not share! The Malpeque oysters were so fresh and delicious! We ordered the Lobster and shrimp gnocchi and they were so nice that they portion it into four small portion for us to try! Excellent service, nice casual relaxing dining experience. Definitely worth checking out.

The…read morefood was also good and we would order a few things again which include the Kung Pao Chicken which was spicy and tangy and the grilled salmon tacos which was simple yet tasty. The flavour of the fried cod taco was amazing but there was very little of the fish and mainly consisted of the fried dough. The Thai lemongrass and coconut broth mussels were pretty good as well. Overall, Azarias was a pleasant dining experience and we're glad we were able to try it!

For my first proper French meal in Toronto, I chose Chantecler, and it was a great experience. The…read moreHalf Duck Confit was excellent.. the duck breast was juicy and medium-rare, while the duck leg had crispy skin and tender meat. The portion was very generous and could easily be shared. The Steak Tartare was also a very nice starter, light, fresh, and smooth, served with bread and a pasteurized egg. I also enjoyed their signature G&T, which was refreshing with a slightly sweeter twist than a classic gin and tonic. The ambience was warm, elegant, and full of charm, while the service was attentive and polished without feeling too formal. Overall, Chantecler made a wonderful first French dining experience in Toronto.

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.

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.

Shawn still uses a reservation book and personally handles all reservations from booking to walking them out the door at the end of the night. We made our reservation 1 week in advance for Friday night, and there were still a few prime time seating's to be booked. We arrived, excited for a night of beautiful wine, interesting cocktails, and mouth-watering food. All of that happened along with great service and wonderful conversation. We each started with a scallop and some delicious homemade sourdough bread! Any restaurant of this caliber nails the opening bread, and I never feel confident enough to ask for me - next time I will because FK's was fantastic. We then shared the oxtail fagottini and enjoyed the rich filling and deep savory broth it came with. I had the Ontario Lamb Rack & Loin, which was actually lamb 4 ways, including a lamb head croquette. My husband had the striploin and frites. Both meals were spectacular and cooked to our temperature preferences, but mine takes the cake for presentation! For dessert, I had a wonderful key lime dessert with a coconut cake, and savored every last crumb. Our server paired my lamb with a beautiful glass of red wine, and was extremely personable. We would absolutely return again, for all the reasons above. FK deserves all the accolades they've won and then some!
