La Banane is an excellent French restaurant at Ossington and Dundas.
The decor and atmosphere is tasteful with a subtle french sophistication. The service was excellent with very knowledgable staff. The dining room was cozy and even the downstairs stone foundation was kept on the theme. The lighting is dim and the booths are very cozy.
For me, the food provided a balance between the artisan French style and the comfort of warm rich foods with mid size quantities.
Make a reservation so you have a seat. Arrive early to find street parking. The area is busy and parking is scarce. No patio unfortunately.
Most Items are sharable, so bring friends and order multiple items. The Disco Egg is a work of art that can be adored for hours.
My Recommendations:
Scallops - Garlic Buttermilk
Albacore Tuna - Brown Butter, Dill, Capers
Flat Iron Steak - Pommes Anna, Sauce Soubise
Ziggy Stardust Disco Egg - Hand Painted Chocolate Truffle Egg (Order this right when you sit to ensure its availability and enough preparation time)
Bon Appetit!
