After a slightly rocky start where we waited 20min for a table and service that was somewhat overwhelmed by the volume - we like this place!
A little rough around the edges still but the quality food and attention to detail is there to see.
The decor is distinctive - french with the touch of vietnamese. Some decent pieces of art and beautiful ceiling light feature.
The savouries are very rich, in a french style, but not over the top.
The pork cheek sandwich was perfect in portion for leaving enough space to try the desserts. My wife had the mushroom papadelle, fresh pasta cooked just right, had heaps of different mushrooms but quite buttery and creamy.
The passionfruit parfait was amazing. My favourite pastry is the passionfruit tart at Laurent in Australia and this is the closest thing I've found to it in North America. The strudel my wife had was average and I wouldn't order it again. The baking paper was left stuck on its base but they redeemed themselves by giving this to us free of charge.
Would definitely come again to try some of the other things on the menu. Toronto needs more places like this with decent pastries.
There were also some impressive photos of some amazing looking wedding and show cakes!
