    It’s just the perfect spot.. cozy. French flair. Attentive staff. But they don’t rush the diners. Lingering is the best way to enjoy excellently prepared food.

    My family and I were visiting Toronto for a few days. We wanted to try French cuisine. After a few searches, we found La Plume. We made a reservation for Sunday, December 29, 2024. When we came in we were quickly greeted by the hostess and our jackets were complimentary put away. Our server was very friendly and attentive. He made our children feel at ease. The ambiance was calm and relaxing. We ordered the escargot as an appetizer and as our main dish the steak and frites. The food was full of flavor and fresh. I would for sure return to La Plume if I ever return to Toronto.

    We were 20 minutes early for our reservation and they were super cool about it. Wonderful service throughout the evening. Best dirty martini that I’ve had in forever. Started with the cheese and bread/olives- both good. I had the Ricotta Agnolotti which was delicious and daughter had Spaghetti which was good but not to her taste. Husband had the “shareable” lemon pepper hen which he ate by himself. Had the Broccolini which I thought was great but was surprisingly spicy for rest of family. Split the Brown Butter Tart for dessert which they gave us on the house “because my daughter was so polite” (a fact she talked about all the way back to hotel). By far best meal we had while in Toronto.
