Top Best French Restaurants in Toronto

"Perched at the top of a heritage building within the centre, Alo is often talked about as one of the best restaurants in Toronto for French food. Now, there are two different ways to eat at Alo, one being through a reservation to eat within Alo’s Dining Room (reserve a table, here). Though, be prepared, this books up super-fast)."

"Considered one of Toronto's best restaurants for multi-course tasting menus, this Queen West establishment defines a pretty distinct tier of upscale dining. Birthday dinners, anniversaries and special outings will always have a place here."

"A post shared by Le Sélect Bistro (@le_select_bistro) on Oct 1, 2018 at 3:28pm PDT. With a self-explanatory name, this downtown Toronto institution on Wellington Street West serves real French cooking all day long, with lunch available until late afternoon and dinner from 5-11pm. Bistro specialities include Lamb Steak Hache and the classic meat-and-beans stew of Cassoulet - the epitome of warming winter dishes."

"Le Sélect Bistro will transport you to the streets of Paris with their gorgeous patio and beautiful European decor. They also have another patio out back with cool wall art, which is actually popular for weddings!. This is the spot to visit if you’re looking for authentic French cuisine here in Toronto."

"If you’re craving some great French food then this is the place to visit. Le Select Bistro uses organic fruits and vegetables with its recipes. Their meat includes grass-fed beef and sustainable seafood."

"Headed up by internationally renowned chef Daniel Boulud, Café Boulud offers a seasonal, fresh menu steeped in French culture, with both classic and modern dishes inspired by the chef’s family’s roots in Lyon. Located within the Four Seasons Hotel Toronto, Boulud worked with Martin Brudnizki Design Studio to create a laid-back yet sophisticated room highlighted by plush banquettes and Hermès wallpaper. Try the signature Parisian steak tartare if you like delicious hand-cut beef with traditional condiments, gem lettuce and crostini."

"A post shared by Café Boulud & d|bar Toronto (@cafebouludto). Meals to go definitely make it easier to get gourmet dishes for the special day. Families can choose from either a roast beef prime rib, a garlic and black pepper roast leg of lamb, and a salt-crusted red snapper dinner."

"Nestled in tony and fabulous Yorkville, Café Boulud, spearheaded by world-renown restaurateur Daniel Boulud, occupies the coveted dining room...Read More"

"French onion soup on this warm heated patio in Leslieville is a surefire way to ward off that chill that's starting to set into your bones as the leaves fall off the trees. Also, there's always French wine if you're still feeling cold."

"The Swan, one of Toronto’s most famous diners, occupied the same space on Queen Street West for more than 20 years. Now Le Swan has taken over to serve French bistro food alongside diner classics - think charcuterie followed by a tuna melt and steak frites with a side of grilled cheese. The menu here includes both dishes that you’d find in a Grey Poupon commercial and food that feels sort of like time travel, which makes it a little different than just about anywhere else in the city."

"Everyone’s curious about the new incarnation of Swan on West Queen West which is Jen Agg’s latest project, a so-called French diner that does rotisserie chicken and late night fondue."

"The newly opened Maison Selby at Bloor and Sherbourne is an Instagrammer’s dream – from the front bar area and each dining area, to the secret speakeasy downstairs, no detail is left unattended. Stop by for brunch if you want to get some of that great morning light, or come by to enjoy the bar scene with some friends (and try to snag a seat at the speakeasy downstairs, ask your bartender about it)."

"This business was established in 1883 and their food is inspired by bistro and cafe menus. They have a wide selection of sweet and savoury dishes. A customer favourite is the Coq Au Vin."

"Simple and intimate, Wynona all about seafood, wine and pasta. Perfectly complimented by their natural wine selections, the handmade noodles are some of the best you’ll find in the city. Meanwhile, the cured albacore tuna with citrus is perfect for enjoying on the little covered patio out front."

"Taking your kids to the historic home of one of Toronto's first architects may seem laughable. Have we met your children?. Gazing at watercolours is hardly a hobby of theirs."
