I don't normally leave reviews but I had such a great experience eating at Jacques that I need to share. My bf and I came to Toronto to visit and we wanted to experience what French fine dining is like here. Boy, were we impressed by not only the exceptional service we had, but the delicious food!
The restaurant is very small (only 11 tables) so make sure to make a reservation right away! We almost didn't get a chance to eat here because we called late. The restaurant gives you a feeling of being home in someone's dining room, the staff is very attentive and knowledgeable from the moment you enter to the moment you leave. We are from NYC and honestly I have never received such amazing service (we were walked to the door upon our exit, our waiter held the door for us and gave us recommendations during our stay here in Toronto)
For dinner we both had the French onion soup (5/5). I loved this soup, the cheese was rich and creamy, freshly stretching out as you ate, even the bread was delicious. I felt sad that I couldn't finish it because it was just too filling!
Our next course was the spinach bacon salad (4/5). We shared this plate and it was enough for both of us. This was good but it lacked some flavor and needed just a bit more dressing in my opinion.
My boyfriend got the chef's special filet migon (5/5). He loved it! The meat was cooked to his liking perfectly and it melted in your mouth. Every dish comes with roasted potatoes and vegetables which were cooked and seasoned very well.
I ordered the pork tenderloin in a mustard sauce (4.5/5). The sauce was very delicious!! But some of the pieces of pork were a little dry for me.
For dessert we shared the chocolate mousse (4/5), it was very rich but the flavor could've been a little better.
Overall, we enjoyed our time dining here and will definitely be visiting again whenever we're back in this beautiful city! Thank you Jacques! Adieu!
