Dreyfus

My partner was excited to book this for her birthday, but due to a glitch, she booked the wrong day and was charged $50 by the restaurant for her mistake. We tried to call and reason with them (we still planned on dining there for the birthday!) but they wouldn’t take no for an answer, and kept their fee. We kept our word and ended up dining at Dreyfus for her birthday, and the food was nice, but the experience left a really sour taste in our mouths. Make sure you triple check your reservations here, as they do not mess around.

Absolutely delightful :) I wasn’t expecting this dining experience in Toronto. Very French like. From the decor, to the very close table proximity and small cozy restaurant space. The menu is concise. Their food is creative and very delicious. Their service is excellent on all levels. My recommendation is that if you want a more leisurely dining experience book a later vs earlier seating time. And if u can use a car service cuz parking is near impossible.

We loved Dreyfus! Two seats at the bar is all you need. The staff at Dreyfus will take it from there. Incredible ambiance and excellent music. The food was next level. I particularly loved the steak tartare and gravlax. The wine pairings were excellent. All of the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. We had great conversations and they made the experience so much better. I look forward to my next visit to Dreyfus!

They change their menu all the time and everything is so good, refined, and comforting. My favorite meal in Toronto and something I was looking forward to when visiting! Definitely recommend.

Outstanding meal. One of the best we have had. The execution and the bold flavors were impeccable. So much care and consideration was put into every aspect of the meal. We sat at the bar and had Marion walk us through the creative process. Their passion stands out. Highly recommend. A must go in Toronto. We will be back.

We came to Dreyfus on a Friday night to celebrate my partner's birthday. We had made reservations 2-3 weeks prior to coming, so we got the earlier timeslot we were looking for. Upon entering, the server offered to take our jackets, which was nice because we were able to sit down and eat comfortably. The attention to detail was just phenomenal from the staff. We got the Pommes dauphines & rillettes, Grilled beef tongue, Linguine maison, spigarello & cozze, and the Pintade pressé & ratatouille. Every dish was delicious, the ingredients were fresh, and each dish came out within a good timeframe. The staff topped up our water every moment they got. Our plates were taken away after every dish, and the table was wiped down before the next dish was served. The service here really made us feel special and stood out as the highlight of our evening. We highly recommend coming here!

Incredible French bistro cuisine in a cozy intimate setting. Highlights were the Eggplant, Tomato and fried feta cheese, Duck/Chicken with Chanterelles and the prawn spaghetti. Drink menu is more wine forward (3 cocktail options) but everything was otherwise perfect!

I have been hearing far too many people exclaiming this is their favorite restaurant in toronto, so of course I had to give it a go. The interior sets the tone for dinner as very intimate but casual. I loved all the decor and the old toronto vibe. They have so many wine bottles everywhere! The menu is sharing plates with very original flavors, and I asked the server how often the menu changes, and she said daily! A favorite for me was the bbq pork neck and tuna belly, but desert really blew me away. The financier with fresh blueberrys and crème fresh was perfect, not too sweet and really hit the spot. We did not opt for wine but instead had their cocktails and I loved them! Very small menu sourcing everything locally. I see why this is so many people's favorite restaurant, I could literally come here everyday and I just might start. The price to quality ratio was also spot on, all around great!
