We had dinner here two weeks ago and were so impressed, we came back for dinner last evening. The seafood stew/bisque was superb - with shrimp, monkfish, mussels and sea bass in a very flavorful broth of tomatoes, tiny turnips and bits of lobster. I started with a refreshing Salade Mentonnaise and finished with the white chocolate cake with Crème Anglaise. Perfection.

This is a very cute spot for French fare with amazing service. The Wednesday Steak and Frites deal is hard to beat! The only reason I deducted a star was I found my soup appetizer and main course to be too salty. My friend also felt the same…

An excellent dinner all round - the menu is classic French bistro fare, perfect for the cool autumn weather. The two or three course prix fixe menu is very good value with a great choice of options.

Wonderful little spot, cozy but not at all stuffy or pretentious. We had the streak frites and pork tenderloin, both were excellent as was the wine. Definitely worth the trip across the city and will return on our next visit to Toronto
