Food prepared at Le Baratin is indeed classic with a modern twist. Classic in a sense of ‘old school’: our sauces are all made in-house, with a veal-based stock. These days, that is very rare.
For Brunch, the Croque Monsieur is a must-have. French peasant, or street food, is uniquely reinvented here.
Our wine list is mid-priced and extensively

On a cool, rainy evening, Le Baratin was the best place to be. Having not been in many years, taking my fiancé for her birthday was a great idea. The pre-fixe menu price point is solid considering how expensive everything is in this city. Their menu is small which is a good sign for me as I find there is more time and respect taken for each dish. The food was plated simply, seasoned perfectly, and cooked wonderfully. Pisalidiere, escargot, lamb shank, duck breast, poached pear, apple tart. Each dish, comforting and delicious. The wine list is classic in style with only a few well priced picks by the glass. A solid cocktail selection and a few good beers round out the drink menu. The space is small, warm, and very charming. The place was packed but didn't feel stuffy. Just a tad loud but not intrusive. I highly recommend going for those who want traditional French dining at an affordable rate. Bravo!

I really enjoyed the experience of being there - the cheese appetizer, wine, service and ambiance was all lovely. The steak frites dish was quite disappointing - too much sauce, strange texture, and the sensation of bone pieces. It wasn't great - but I'd be willing to go there again for the vibe and try a different dish next time. It could be just a great place for wine and apps.

The food was mostly delicious with the exception of the calamari appetizer. They were the most overdone calamari we’ve ever experienced anywhere. Very chewy and beyond overcooked. The other appetizers were wonderful however especially the duck rillets and the cheese tart we had for one of our mains was really delicious. Overall the food was good and the ambience was nice, the one appetizer dish unfortunately let down the experience.

I took my friend for her birthday and the food was amazing. Our server was great as well and overall 10/10 experience. I will definitely be returning. Our favourite dish was the salmon gravlax!
