| - The restaurant is nicely located on the Danforth, in a good pedestrian-friendly area and in a decently sized space. The decor isn't as nice as it looks on the photos, but it's pretty clean and the straight outta France mural adds a fun touch. It might be fun if they played some French pop music or something during the day because besides the menu it wasn't anything that seemed French.
I had the number 13 (Cordon Bleu: Fried chicken breast stuffed with cheese and smoked turkey, ham, tomatoes, onions, pepper sauce and French fries.) which was a little on the dry side, and also came wrapped in something that was not a tortilla - instead, it was something that sort of resembled this time I tried to make a yeastless flatbread and then had to eat my terrible flatbread because I didn't bother to have a back up? I've had a look and according to the internet, it's a pizza crust instead of a wrap - which explains some things but should maybe be noted on the menu. It was thick, dry, and the edges were untrimmed so the first 2 or 3 bites of the wrap were pure dry flatbread. Not the best. The actual wrap wasn't bad, although it was still a little dry, and the french fry to sauce ratio needed to be tweaked as I got very little of the famous cheese sauce.
My lunch companion had the no. 2 French taco (la dijonaise: marinated chicken breast in mustard, onions, tomatoes, salad and French fries.) which I actually ended up swapping with her as the taco was very strong on the mustard. The taco was good, the chicken was tasty and the sauce to fries ratio was much better than it was on the Cordon Bleu, although it was a little over sauced and about halfway through the tortilla lost its structural integrity and I had to eat it with a fork.
One thing to note is that the portions are LARGE. Neither of us finished the entire serving - I would suggest getting some of the menu items and a side to split if you're dining with another person - you'll be full either way.
