    I dine often at Le Select. And the food is usually very good to outstanding. However for the first time the meat was below average. I do hope it is a one time fluke; as Le Select is one of my favourite places.

    We celebrated our anniversary with brunch at Le Select. Though I've dined there many times for work-related reasons, it was my wife's first time there. Unfortunately my wife had requested the food to be cooked a certain way and it wasn't, so it had to be sent back, which meant we didn't get to eat much of our anniversary meal together. But the waitress was spectacular in the way she handled it, and with all the extra touches to help us celebrate the event. She made our experience wonderful.
    Le Sélect BistroResponded today
    Dear Trevor, Thank you for choosing Le Select to celebrate such a special occasion as your anniversary. I’m truly sorry to hear that your wife’s dish wasn’t initially prepared to her specifications, causing a disruption to your meal. Please accept my sincerest apologies for this oversight. That said, it’s wonderful to know that our waitress went above and beyond to make things right and ensure your celebration was still memorable. I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to her—it will mean so much. We value your continued visits and your feedback, which helps us improve. We hope to welcome you both back soon to create a flawless experience from start to finish. Warm regards, Callum Heald General Manager

    This is still a good place with a very nice atmosphere of classic French Bistro. However, foie gras was not as good as it used to be and premium house wines are getting very pricey. In general great but not my favorite place as it used to be.
    Le Sélect BistroResponded today
    Dear Neb, Thank you for your candid feedback and for continuing to visit Le Select. We’re glad to hear you still enjoy the classic French bistro atmosphere that we strive to maintain. I’m sorry to hear that the foie gras didn’t meet your expectations this time, and I understand your concerns regarding the pricing of our premium house wines. Your comments are valuable and will be shared with our culinary and wine teams as we aim to strike the perfect balance between quality and value. We appreciate your continued support and hope to welcome you back to regain your confidence as one of your favorite dining spots. Warm regards, Callum Heald General Manager

    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

    Thank you, Shiri, for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We’re delighted you enjoyed your mid-week lunch, from the classic French dishes to the crispy fries and crème brûlée.

    The service was good, our cocktails were lovely. The problem is the actual quality of steak they serve here. The steak frites was a bit cold, very stringy and not tender (the fries also came lukewarm). The half chicken was pretty dry, the server raved that it was very moist but honestly I found it to be a tad overcooked... Really disappointing considering the prices! Also when making the reservation I let them know we were coming to celebrate a birthday so I thought the server would at least mention the celebration and at most we'd get a dessert but nothing happened! Very strange.
    Le Sélect BistroResponded 5 days ago
    Dear Daniella, Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the service and cocktails, but I’m truly sorry your meal didn’t meet expectations. We take great pride in our food, so it’s disappointing to hear about the steak, fries, and chicken. I’ll address this with our kitchen team to ensure improvements are made. I also regret the missed opportunity to acknowledge the birthday celebration. We aim to make special occasions memorable, and it’s clear we fell short here. Please accept my apologies for this and your overall disappointment. I’d love to welcome you back for the experience we’re known for. Feel free to reach out to me at Le Select Bistro to share more or plan a return visit. Warm regards, Callum Heald General Manager, Le Select Bistro
