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

Fantastic experience! The food was great - especially the duck confit special. Our server was lovely, and made us feel so welcome. The ambience of the restaurant is perfect. Felt like we were in a bistro in Montreal.

This place should have a michelin star. It really transports you to France. It only needs some french music.

We went there to celebraste our 5th year anniversary and we had a blast! From great service to amazing food. I’ve been looking forward to go to this place. Our apps were: beet salad which was very very tasty and soup, delicious as well! My main dish was the steak + frites (the steak was melting in the mouth) and my partner had the special of the day which was sirloin + mashed potatoes(he loved it as well). For dessert we shared an apple pudding with caramel sauce, it was very light on sugar - exactly I was looking for. Lastly, We had such a great time, and we appreciate all the reviews we read here before going, they did not disappoint. Merci Le Baratin!

O.M.G. Ligia, such a great review! Merci. We really appreciate that you took the time to describe in details your dinner at Le Baratin with a such enthusiasm! And we're very happy that we were able to make that evening special for you. Happy Anniversary.

Food was the absolute highlight of the night — everything that arrived on our table came with a beautiful aroma that had us salivating, everything was delicious. My husband who works in the restaurant industry was inspired by the Spinach Potato soup! Highly recommend
