  • Auberge du Pommier used to be my favourite five star French restaurant in Toronto. I am still a fan but I would no longer give it five stars and I strongly advise against visiting this restaurant for dinner during Summerlicious, as the portions and quality of food are severely diminished, where as the bill for two people, ( with wine pairings included), will be in excess of $200.00. This puts them in the $$$$$ category in my book. There are no s'amuse bouche or petit fours served with the meal this year ' which also added to my disappointment. Another case in point, I went to Auberge this year for my birthday, and ordered the prix-fix gourmand menu, as it is one of the finest dinning experiences, (especially with the wine pairing), that (IMO) Toronto or any O&B restaurant has to offer, but my wife is vegetarian and so had the chefs' suggested substitutions. Long story short, they charged the same amount of $$$$$ for both meals. Maybe I am getting too used to the cuisine or maybe I am too good of a chef according to my own tastes, because I can come close enough to duplicating what I have been served at the Auberge, for one quarter of the food price and easily half of the wine price. The wine pairings this year at Summerlicious were pedestrian at best and very over priced at $35.00 for two 3 ounce glasses plus one and a half ounces of Port or dessert wine.Charging $3 a glass when we ordered still water was just more insult to injury. I found the quarter of a NewYork strip loin that they served me to be quite tough and sinewy, with no marbling and not much taste. I can easily do better at home on my barbecue and have a lot more steak for a lot less money. The wine pairings are not worth what they are charging. I do however very much like their bartending mixologist and highly recommend the blueberry Mojito. I am sad to say that Auberge is starting to price itself out of business in the same way that Olivers' Wonderful Bakery Restaurant on Yonge Street near Hollywood Ave did so many years ago. What a fine establishment that was, especially in the winter with its' many fireplaces. The service and servers are still top notch but you should consult with the sommelier instead of taking the wine pairing. That way you should be able to get a whole bottle of wine for seventy bucks instead of half.
