Batifole

By far, our favorite restaurant in Toronto. It is cozy, comfortable and very welcoming. The menu has the perfect selection of appetizers and main course offerings. The presentation and flavors were a delight. From the gazpacho (chilled soup), the scallops (perfectly prepared with a lemon mousse), to the roast eggplant and tomato confit—yum! Their French fries are gluten-free and perfectly crisp & hot. Signature cocktails + wine list added to the best gastronomical experience we have had in Toronto for a while. This is a neighborhood gem. Make a reservation. Walk ins may be turned away unless there is room at the bar.

This place is amazing. The food is incredible, staff is super knowledgeable. They truly grasp the French experience, letting you enjoy your meal and not rushing you out of the restaurant. Food suggestions - after numerous visits, nothing disappoints. I am a meat-i-tarian and they convinced me to try a vegan dish. It was beyond delicious. I'm celiac- they can make nearly everything gluten free.
