Top Best French Restaurants in Whitby

"The corner of Queen and Spadina was never the most posh or  interesting address in Toronto, so when chef Patrick Kriss announced he would open a restaurant on the third floor of a historic Victorian building there, local foodies were skeptical. Once Alo opened in 2015 with high-concept, French-inflected cuisine, it soon topped critics' choice lists around the world and Kriss' naysayers became believers. The menu changes with the seasons; you're as likely to encounter 30-day dry-aged rack of lamb as you are Hokkaido sea urchin with fennel, wasabi, and yuzu."

"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)."

"A hidden gem in Toronto, Le Sélect Bistro serves a diverse selection of French dishes from brunch to dinner. Try out their moules au porc fume et à la maudite, which features Atlantic Mussels steamed in strong Québec Ale with smoked pulled pork...."

"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."

"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."

"The spot features a seasonally-changing menu crafted by their in-house chef. You’ll find tons of classic and contemporary flavours here. Where: 60 Yorkville Ave"

"With its checkerboard floors, chalkboard menus and white tablecloths, everything about Le Paradis suggests Parisian bistro. The menu of this restaurant in Toronto's Annex neighbourhood is classic bistro, too. Start with a bowl of Prince Edward Island mussels steamed with white wine, garlic and shallots."

"Brasserie, Bistro, Fine Dining, French, Extensive Wine List, Restaurant With Wifi Internet, Restaurant With Bar. eatery cooks a vegetarian menu for 11$ to 25$. Come experience their casual and upscale atmosphere."

"Marché does a nice job of simulating a European-style marketplace with separate food prep stations and fresh presentation. If you select the a la carte buffet option, you can wander from counter to counter and cherry-pick from the hot and cold selections, or watch while the chefs prepare your fresh omelette, crepe or personal pizza. Located entirely indoors and opposite the entrance to the Hockey Hall of Fame, Marché really jumps during busy weekday lunchtimes."

"What is it: A southern French café and bakery originally from New York City, in the heart of First Canadian Place in the city's Financial District that serves locally sourced breakfast and lunches to a daily throng of area suits. Bonus points for the freshly baked artisan breads, quiches, cookies, croissants and all of the other French, buttery bites Maman turns out that make any morning better. Try the pistachio loaf, trust us."

"If you have a thing for uber-cute French patisseries, get thee over to First Canadian Place in downtown Toronto. Maman hails from New York and is the place to grab a slice of lavender blueberry loaf cake and an on-point latte to get on with your day. Or, if you want to be more European, grab a seat at one of their rustic wooden tables and stay awhile."

"With sparkling chandeliers, tables lit by candlelight, the mood is set for romance at this glittering Yorkville boîte. Located down a hidden alleyway off Yorkville Avenue, Chabrol attracts a well-heeled crowd enamoured by the restaurant’s enchanting ambiance and chef Doug Penfold’s ambitious French bistro fare. While the menu changes frequently, the restaurant’s signature ttoro has been on offer since day one and is a must-try."

"This cozy French bistro in the heart of Yorkville focuses on dishes from the South of France, and there are far worse things to focus on, in our opinion. Chabrol refers to the French practice of adding a splash of wine to the last spoonfuls of soup to draw out a meal (which is a genius idea that we are going to start incorporating into our own eating regimes). Expect cheeses, perfect sauces and succulent meats."

"In Yorkville, a favored destination for celebrities, petite Chabrol delivers grande French fare. The open kitchen provides both a savory kind of aromatherapy and a bit of theater for the diners."

"Bar Hop Brewco has one of the best craft-beer bars in the city, and one of the most delightful rooftop patios to boot. With a capacity of 110 people and tons of bright accents and festive décor, it’s a great place to bring a few friends for an afternoon of fun. The patio is completely covered, so it can be enjoyed on even the rainiest Toronto days, with the casual atmosphere keeping things light and fun no matter the weather."

"You may be able to have too many shoes, but you can never have too many brew pubs (too much beer is another thing, but let's not bring the mood down). Toronto's Barhop doesn't require that you engage in a tour of the city. There is more than enough brewing goodness in one place."

"If there’s a better name for a Toronto bar, then we’re unaware of it. Simply put, it’s one of those fun bars in Toronto when you get to order the most outlandish cocktail you can think of and, ironically, feel precisely zero shame about. Located on Queen West, what makes this spot special is not only the atmosphere, but their emphasis on making things in-house that others wouldn’t, such as blueberry kefir."

"The Shameful Tiki Room is a restaurant and bar that successfully brings warmth to the Great North through Polynesian rum-based cocktails and home cooking. The restaurant has an extensive “grog” (or drink) menu that is comprised of various rum rhapsodies. With drink recipes as complex as they are colorful, diners should note: the drinks may take longer than the food."

"The longest-running show of Toronto is considered the lousy dog theatre show where comedians are on a professional level, and home-in programs occurred. Almost 30years, this club train their comedian and specialized art of unscripted and unpremeditated performances held at the spot by any age of the person—the theatre train for excellent and affordable concerts and comedy. As theatres are small in size, but the laughter is enormous there."

"They have workshops for all levels of skill and confidence, whether you’ve never stood in front of a mic before or you’re fine-tuning a skill years in the making. The main focus at all classes is just having fun, so you’ll never feel put on the spot or pressured to step hugely out of your comfort zone. The biggest benefit of taking classes here is the history: Bad Dog is home to the longest continuously running improv show in Toronto."
