Taylor Swift trivia was better than I even expected! So many amazing details thought of by the staff (friendship bracelets, custom tote bags, cocktails, music, etc). The signature cocktail list was above and beyond in creativity!!

I love the French music that was playing during the early part of the evening before the restaurant started to fill up and the music changed to something more upbeat. And the beef tartar is a must. … Un petit de Paris à Toronto.

Visited on a whim for lunch after years of passing by and thinking to myself that I have to try one day. The burger is imo the best in the city; it demonstrates how simple, quality ingredients make all the difference. The beef Bourguignon tagliatelle was tender, rich and full of flavour. The sweater weather cocktail finished with a fresh marshmallow was warm and comforting and finished our meal perfectly. They also brought out some adorable (and very tasty) warm mini madelines with lemon curd for my grandmas birthday which was so appreciated!
