Located on the third floor of Nordstrom at Yorkdale, Bazille is a restaurant that serves up bistro cuisine in a contemporary environment. My party and I dropped by on a Saturday around 12pm for lunch. During our meal, the restaurant filled up quickly with diners taking a break from their shopping.
To start, my party of 4 shared the calamari. The calamari batter was crispy and light and paired well with the lemongrass sweet chili dipping sauce. For the mains, I ordered one of the specials of the day (the Thai steak salad) as well as a cup of crab bisque as I was feeling hungry. The rest of my party ordered the smoked meat sandwich (which was another daily special), the nicoise salad with wild salmon, and the sauteed chicken and angel hair pasta. My salad and soup were great. The soup was rich and creamy but not terribly heavy.In addition to the crab, there were also vegetables in the soup. My Thai steak salad was also great with vermicelli noodles and romaine lettuce. The rest of my party also enjoyed their food.
Overall, friendly service and good food.
