Reviews
they reno’d the bakery and the restaurant is at the back of the space where the kitchen once was, and the kitchen is now where they used to sell ice cream. the space is cozy (about 25 seats total), and casual-ish. kind of wish there was a more clear separate definition of the restaurant vs. bakery, to elevate the restaurant area.
as for the actual meal, it was so good!
we started with drinks (soleil cocktail, beer) and the bread basket. it was an assortment of bread (toasted French white bread, softer bread “domes” that were partly like cake in texture, toasted what-I-assume-is day-old croissant, and bread “chips”). cubed salted butter was appreciated, and they also gave a crushed olive paste (? just going off my taste buds lol) in olive oil – not really a fan of this but i also don’t like olives.
the tuna crudo was fresh, though you only get a few slices of thinly sliced sashimi-grade fish for $22.
the mains were definitely the best part!
the duck was perfectly cooked medium with crisp skin and tender meat. the steak was nicely charred and very tender and perfectly cooked medium-rare. both were priced at $42, which was a great value for the quality.
we were too full for dessert but i’ve been to nadege so many times, i know the dessert is good.
I would make 1 strong suggestion from my critical side. All I would change of this space is some warmer lighting and maybe some Curtains to divide the Cafe/Desert storefront from the restaurant.
Need to try the onion soup and lyonnaise pasta ( forget the original name) next time!
What really surprised me, though, were the cocktails. I honestly didn’t expect them to be that good — perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. This is definitely a place you could come to just for a few drinks at the bar, even without having a full meal.( well, but in my case I will start with the cocktail and then move to have a full meal as both are sooo great !! )
Already looking forward to coming back to try the steak frites and the rest of the menu next time!
P.S you can also take away some dessert and bakery for next morning (that’s what I did !! ) as they have a full functioned pastry shop just attached to it, even ice cream in tub !! ( what a wonderful one stop just to have them all) If you travel from far definitely make your trip worth it not to menthol the shop just face the beautiful park. I bet they will be packed during cherry blossom season and I’ll make sure I make a reservation for that!!
The quality is definitely top notch, and it even brought back the atmosphere of the bouchons lyonnais that I love. The dishes are very well executed and the menu has some original choices, which is refreshing compared to many places.
The décor is also really nice and creates a great atmosphere without feeling pretentious.
Special mention for the cocktails and the wine list, both are very well curated.
The dessert selection is also excellent, with great quality and some really nice options.
A great spot in Toronto if you’re looking for a French restaurant with a bit of character!
Bravo!
The warm service and the beautiful decor were so inviting. My favourite from the menu was the duck breast and the pasta. Flavours were on point.
I can’t wait to come back and try more!!
