  • Ici Bistro is a real find, tucked away on Harbord and Manning in a quiet, mostly residential neighbourhood (it's further west than the strip of restaurants near Splendido, Loire, 93 Harbord, etc.). They serve up some of the best French fare in the city in a cozy, intimate setting. The small space seats only 24 (as such, they can only accommodate groups of 4 or less) so make sure to make reservations! The food is rich and luxurious (no skimping on the cheese or cream!), plating is beautifully done, and the service is spot-on, making this an ideal spot for a date or special occasion. Music is soft and allows for proper conversation. On the night that I went, I heard lots of conversations en Francais and it seems like most servers speak French fluently. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, confidently offering suggestions and able to recommend wine pairings other than the ones listed on the menu. First, we were brought small goat cheese tarts as am amuse-bouche - a nice beginning. Next, we had the trio of steak tartare. This was absolutely delicious and flavourful. My favourite was the one accompanied with pommes dauphine -- potatoes that were perfectly light and fluffy. Next was the merguez sausage with potato gnocchi, which came with some fresh goat cheese. The sausage was juicy with a hint of spice and the gnocchi were melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Finally, we had the braised beef which was nice and tender (our server explained that the sauce takes days to prepare). Although the portions don't look that big, most dishes are quite dense and heavy. Each menu item is available in an appetizer size or a entree size. Between my DC and I, we shared the steak tartare trio and 2 "appetizer size" items, and we were comfortably full and decided to skip the dessert. They are famous for their souffles though, so I will have to try that next time. Wines are offered in 3oz. or 6 oz. glasses or by the bottle. I like the option of a 3 oz. so you can try more kinds of wine without getting too tipsy! Ici Bistro is pricey, but worth it for the overall experience and quality of the food. I hope to be back soon!
