Proper French food. Proper French menu. Proper French service. If you are looking for French, this is it. No other French restaurant that I've eaten at in Toronto does proper French food like Le Baratin. And no, Le Select doesn't.

The meal and service were amazing. We had the Escargot and Foie Gras to start which were both beautifully presented and delicious. Then we had the Trout Meunière and Half Roasted chicken which so flavourful and delicious. We added Brussel sprouts which were the best I’ve ever had with a maple glaze, and Frites. For dessert we had a chocolate souffle which was beautiful and heavenly. We were celebrating a birthday and it was the perfect place. Highly recommend! Also if you love wine the have the longest wine list I’ve ever seen. It was literally a book.

We just had a wonderful girls Christmas dinner at this venue and it was our first time for all of us. The staff were fantastic, and the attention to detail was on point.
