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

A beautiful little bistro in Toronto my partner and I went to on a recommendation via Reddit. Overall this was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The food from beginning to end was exquisite. We each ordered the 3-course meal which was incredible value for the freshness, flavor and incredible taste. My partner had the Gravlax, which was some of the best smoked salmon we've had, while I had the pear, brie and thyme tarte - do not sleep on their tartes they are exceptional. I had the fish special which was sole baked in parchment paper with vegetables and a butter sauce, while my partner had steak frites. The desserts were also divine. The atmosphere was soft and romantic, good for conversation and date night. Our server was attentive but not overbearing and came around just enough. A 10/10 experience and we would definitely come back the next time we are in Toronto. Cannot recommend it enough. Note: The restaurant is quite small, and would be difficult to get into without a reservation, especially at peak times.

10/10 recommend, food was awesome and the service was on point. We had mocktalis and even though had no alcohol it were really good! Went here for a birthday and could not have had a better experience, they even brought a cake with a candle for my partner.

Very French, skillfully decorated. Small room - only 10 tables - but not crammed too close. Noisy if you're hard of hearing; sound comes from people having a good time, not house music. Valentines Day fixed menu had plenty of delicious choices. 4 courses for $98 was very reasonable. Servings were generous, imaginative and nicely presented. Servers were helpful and attentive; allergy question handled nicely. Quite a young crowd, it seems. Certainly would come back.

Ambience is quaint and cozy. Servers speak French. Food is comforting. Can’t go wrong here. A little bit of Paris in Toronto.
