As a foody, I have to say I love Toronto. I love the fact that when i am craving for an international cuisine, I can almost find everything here.
For this review, I am featuring a French restaurant that I learned through word of mouth from other people who also love doing what I love doing, eating.
I highly reccomend their Auvergnate ($7) salad to start. It's a very simple salad made up of Fresh Arugula, Belgian endives, walnut, apples and blue cheese and drizzled with olive oil. A great start that was followed by a juicy piece of peppered Flatiron steak with pepercorn sauce (Pave de Boeuf au Poivre) for a bargain $17. I honestly would have paid $35 for this steak. Both the salad and the steak went really well with the bottle of Malbec ($23 - what a deal!!) which we ordered. I wanted to order dessert after but I felt stuffed after gobbling up a fair share of their complimentary yummy french bread.
Service was professional. Ambience was a bit loud at one point of the evening during the rush. Rest assured, it will not feel like a sports bar.
I have to thank this restaurant for making me fall in love with French food and culture. I also have to thank my friend Lito and Bruce for introducing me to this restaurant that's nicely nestled in Avenue and Davenport. You may have to look a little bit to find this place but it is worth the effort.
Happy Eating!!
