Its called "The Best French Food in Chinatown" but a more apt nickname for this once great Bistro is "The McDonalds of Chinatown". French food is to be enjoyed and discussed and for many it is a 3 to 4 hour delight. With the previous owner that was the case with a must cheerier atmosphere and decor. The current Chef and Owner changed the decor and attempted to keep Batifole as it was. However, 2016 sees the decline of this once great restaurant in living color. First what they do not tell you is that they book their table in 2 hour increments, and ask you to leave regardless if your meal is finished or not after that two hours or so. If you happen to be that second table you are asked to wait until the table is emptied of guests. On our last and final visit a drunk and belligerent mouthed off to us as he was obviously waiting for our table to clear. As we were paying for the meal, which can only be done by the bar, this guy and his party moved outside. As we were leaving we were attacked by Mr Drunk and his henchmen. Once the fight was broken up they were escorted inside and we were summarily dismissed. We have written to the restaurant to complain but of course we never received any kind of apology or acknowledgement. If you like good french food there are other better run restaurants in Toronto with Batifole on its last leg.
