Best Bistros in Parkdale

Tuna tostada, steak tartare toast were delicious appetizers. Beet and parm risotto and halibut chowder fantastic mid-course. Rib steak frites main was good, not great. Veal jus a bit unexpected if you don't eat veal. Braised short rib tender and yummy. Nice Côte de Rhone bottle and creative mixed berry cheesecake and tiramisu profiterole for dessert. Live piano player singing lots of Elton John. A perfect Valentine's Day romantic dinner.

My daughter and I came here for Valentine’s Day to celebrate. The service was attentive and welcoming. The cheese potato bread is sooo good! The iceberg wedge salad was a big portion and very fresh and crunchy. The striploin steak was cooked to perfection. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and very juicy on the inside. The sides: squash was flavourful and the fries were crispy. Their dip pairings are on par, they made very good choices. The dessert - lemon meringue pie is the best I have ever had! It’s the right amount of sour. And the carrot cake was really good too (but I wish it didn’t have raisins). Overall experience - superb! It’s definitely a place where it has my repeat business.

My go to spot for dinner before a show. Easy to get to by car or TTC. No need to rush as the theater is across the street. The food is always good, the drinks are cold and the service is perfect. The best thing is dining while listening to live jazz. Last night we had a talented pianist. A great way to start a night on the town.

Aloette made for the perfect date night! The service was exceptional—attentive and friendly. The food was outstanding, from the melt-in-your-mouth lamb skewer to the delicious Aloette burger with Beaufort cheese. The sides—we grabbed the tots and crispy butternut squash—were incredible. The ambiance, paired with great music, set a relaxed yet lively mood. We finished with the perfect slice of carrot cake. Everything was top-notch, and we can't wait to come back!

Food and price were great. Our server, Jennifer, did an excellent job.
