We had a great mid-week lunch. A real bistro ambiance, friendly and professional service, and fantastic classic French dishes. Definitely the best burger we've had in Toronto with great crispy French fries. The creme Brule was good too, not too sweet and perfect texture

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Taline. From the delicious and creative cocktails to the truly authentic dishes, that were a feast for the eyes as well as the flavours. We shared many dishes, including the veal shank, which was amazing! Definitely recommended.

Short rib needs to come back. Wasn’t a huge fan of the new calamari on the menu and the 2 seater booth is tight for two giants (6’3”). Either way, I’ll be back next week.
