Chabrol is a small restaurant in Yorkville. It is a bit of a hidden gem. My partner and I visited this restaurant as it was a 2016 En-Route Magazine nominee for best new restaurant in Canada. The atmosphere was very intimate and romantic. There's a whimsical and Parisian vibe to the restaurant. The service is excellent as well.
The kitchen is in open view. Chabrol is able to turn out amazing dishes by using just two induction burners and a convection oven.
To start, we had the foie gras. It was delicious. For main, I had the braised lamb with provencal vegetables and rosemary jus. The lamb was cooked perfectly. It was tender and flavourful. It also went well with the red wine that was recommended by our server.
For dessert, we got the apple tarte which was a wonderful way to end the meal. The puff pastry is made in house, and the Calvados sabayon poured tableside over the just-baked tarte is whisked à la minute.
If you are looking for a cute intimate restaurant for dinner, Chabrol is an excellent option.
