| - The one time I went to France (on a stopover), I ate Chinese, so I had no idea what to expect from French street food. I've had plenty of time to speculate since I passed Mister Frenchy's "Coming Soon!" on my way to work every day. It was well worth the wait!
I tried Le Lyonnais in their first week and when it arrived, I completely understood the $10 taco because the portion sizes are massive. It was stuffed full of ground beef, sweet peppers, and fries. The meat was fresh and the Algerian sauce adds a burst of flavour that still makes my mouth water. I've tried a few items on the menu (L'Oriental, Le Parisien, Simple Croque-Monsieur) and so far, I've been very impressed.
The side(s) are no slouch either! The fries seasoned, so there's no need for ketchup, but I'd highly recommend the dipping sauce. The curry-based sauce is probably my personal favourite, but I've yet to try one that I haven't liked and I could live on their profiteroles.
The customer service is fantastic. Their staff are friendly, solicitous, and eager to tell you all about French street food. The only downside is that they take a while because food is made-to-order, but the owners were so solicitous that I can't really complain. I'd encourage you to call in ahead of time if you're in a rush, but it's not a bad place to wait: there's plenty of seating, the restaurant's décor is awesome, and it's clean.
I'm still working my way through the menu, but so far, Mister Frenchy has really set itself apart. Fantastic addition to the Danforth and to Toronto! Highly recommended.
