Came here to celebrate my Birthday and it was quite a treat. The food were simple but super delicious. The Clam is a must if you love seafood. Service was nice and professional and no complaints. The only problem was the spacing of the tables are a bit tight and the echo of sound made it a bit noisy and I have to yell to talk. Lucky we were move to a more quieter corner and it was better. Recommended it for a casual "good" dinner.

The food was decent, though nothing particularly stood out. The atmosphere, however, was quite loud, making it difficult to enjoy a normal conversation. We ended up finishing our meal quickly just get to out of the noise.

Place is gorgeous. We sat at the bar and Isaiah, a newer bartender, took good care of us. He sold us on both specials (a ricotta agnolotti with mushrooms in a corn gravy, and trout with seared peaches in some sort of miso sauce) and both were delicious and beautiful to look at. Had marinated mushrooms and hamachi crudo to start, and mussels in nduja butter prior to the mains. Mussels were bonkers. Cocktails were very nice. Will definitely be back.

Amazing decor and vibes but small space and the tables were a bit too close together. Opted to get the $80 chef’s choice menu as a group of 4. It was amazing value and had the chance to taste a variety of dishes, some off menu items as well. Portions were generous. Really enjoyed the heirloom tomato salad, hamachi crudo, and grilled hamachi collar for appetizers. Sea bass was cooked perfectly and there was even duck breast and striploin served for mains. We were all stuffed in the end.

Great food and cozy vibes. Delicious cocktails. The mezcal and rum cocktails were amazing. The pasta and crudo were our favs but everything was good! Nice spot for a group to try a bunch of stuff. Friendly staff and service.

Excellent service, truly some of the best I’ve had in awhile. Charming atmosphere and great vibe. Most importantly the food and cocktails were amazing. The cocktails sound bold but the flavours are subtle and combined so expertly. We tried the Doflamingo (it was legitimately spicy!), the sesame sake, the apple pie and the mocktail. All the food was excellent, I’d particularly recommend the mushrooms, pork chop, and steak. The only dish I didn’t love was the tuna crudo, I found the flavour profile clashed and wasn’t very tasty.

Everything at Florette was fabulous. Small restaurant and has a beautiful ceiling. Every dish we ordered was great. Manila clams were a hit with a bit of heat. The rigatoni was also one of my favourites of the night. Service was exceptional, fresh plates and cutlery with every dish, helped us understand the dishes and the staff genuinely having a nice drink at the bar after their shift. I wish this was closer to my area and I’d be there more frequently!

What a great Toronto gem! My husband and I celebrated an anniversary with dinner at Florette and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. As described by our server, there is no distinct type of cuisine and he recommended getting a few dishes to sample the menu. Every dish was extremely flavourful and the pacing between courses was timed perfectly. Highly suggest getting the bread and using it to soak up sauces from any of the dishes! It would be nice to see more than one dessert option, though the chocolate tart was decadent without being too rich. There's an extensive cocktail menu with a variety of creative options, as well as plenty of traditional bar rail cocktails and wine. Service was excellent and attentive throughout. It is a small spot with only a few tables and bar seating, so it can feel a bit tight/cozy. The atmosphere is lovely, not too loud, and the restaurant is beautifully decorated -- that ceiling! Highly recommend: marinated mushrooms, manila clams, swordfish, and rigatoni
