About the restaurant

Scaramouche has long been celebrated by customers and critics for its unwavering commitment to making each dining experience a memorable one. Chef/owner Keith Froggett’s sophisticated cuisine is presented simply with care and attention to detail. The service underscores that philosophy: unobtrusive and respectful. These are the components that make Scaramouche the singular destination it is and the reason that the restaurant has consistently ranked as one of the city’s best for over forty years.

Parkdale

About the restaurant

Enjoy a taste of France at Le Baratin, 1600 Dundas West, with a unique menu and an enchanting atmosphere.
We offer 2 setting every night; The first dinner service from 5:30 through to 6:30 pm is a maximum of 2 hours dinner experience.
For Brunch WE DO NOT TAKE RESERVATION - walk-in only, from 10 am till 3:30 pm.
Take an imaginary plane in the evening with the culinary experience of our French inspired menu.
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

An excellent dinner all round - the menu is classic French bistro fare, perfect for the cool autumn weather. The two or three course prix fixe menu is very good value with a great choice of options.

We look forward to welcoming you to La Banane.

La Banane continues to be my favourite restaurant in Toronto. Sylvain is the most amazing waiter and elevates the experience even more with amazing wine pairings and food suggestions (including foie gras on our desert which was shockingly good). This place pushes the limit on French cuisine in all the best ways!

Queen West

About the restaurant

Located at the corner of Queen and Peter in downtown Toronto, Peter Pan Bistro is a neighbourhood restaurant rooted in seasonality, simplicity, and genuine hospitality. Led by Chef Dylan Casimiro, the kitchen highlights the best of Ontario’s farms and producers with a menu that changes often to reflect what is fresh, local, and at its peak.

Just steps from some of the city’s most iconic destinations, including the CN Tower, Rogers Centre, Ripley's Aquarium, and the Eaton Centre, it is the perfect place to dine before or after exploring downtown.

The room is warm, lively, and welcoming. It is a place equally suited for a quick bite, a long lunch, a relaxed dinner, or one of the city’s most beloved brunches!

Expect thoughtful dishes, an approachable wine list, and a team that knows how to take care of people.

Enjoyed our first time at this restaurant. Great service and food. Went before a show and had enjoyed the chicken schnitzel, which had a ratatouille side included that really made the dish, and a lovely chocolate mousse dessert, along with a happy hour drink cocktail happening between 5 & 7 pm.

My retired friends and I love it here. Great food and service...and a cool vibe. We hate the corporate restaurants downtown. Union is so cobbled together and we love it...kudos to the chef and staff..

About the restaurant

Chez Nad is the natural evolution of 17 years of gastronomy with Nadège Patisserie—a full-circle moment in my family’s culinary journey. Tucked behind our flagship at 780 Queen Street West, this space is deeply personal: an extension of my home and my story. From my great-grandparents and grandparents owning a pastry shop, to my parents running a restaurant, food has always been the language of our family. Chez Nad is an ode to that heritage. “Nad” is my nickname, and when you step inside, you are truly entering chez moi. This is an elevated French bistro rooted in bistronomie—where thoughtful, locally sourced ingredients meet exceptional French cheeses. Classic Lyonnais and French dishes are reimagined with a modern, playful twist. More than a restaurant, Chez Nad is a place for everyone, built around community, generosity, and the joy of sharing a table.
