ēst Restaurant

I love this restaurant. I adhere to the dairy-free lifestyle. Their fettuccine with mushrooms and truffle are dairy-free. And they are absolutely delicious. Everything else is good and tasty. Slow braised beef is amazing as well, fries, cocktails. If I could I would eat there every day.

Came here for $1 oyster and 25% off bubbles on a Tuesday night. It was a great value and oyster are fresh but some a bit small. Nevertheless the service was really great, some mixed ups, but they were overly apologic and comp some of the items just because. They didn't have to because we enjoyed most of the dishes, especially the beef tar tar. I think one of the Pasta was a bit bland (vegetarian Pasta I think) everything else was good, but it's still worth a visit.

Visited Est on a Friday evening, and surprisingly, it wasn’t very busy. We started with the bone marrow with escargot, beef tartare, and charred octopus. The octopus was definitely the highlight of the appetizers—perfectly tender and packed with flavor. The variety of sauces elevated each bite, making every taste unique and exciting. For mains, we had the braised beef short rib and the lobster agnolotti. The short rib was absolutely incredible. As noted on the menu, it’s slow-braised for 12 hours, and you could tell—it was so tender it melted in your mouth! Paired with the creamy potato purée, it was a dish I’d come back for.

This is a relatively hidden gem in Leslieville. We came here as all the usual spots were filled and crowded for a brief respite and ended up enjoying it more than we thought possible. Great quality food for a reasonable price. Great spot for raw foods if you are a fan; oysters were great and the tartare had two serving sizes for those extra hungry folk. Drinks were great as well and the truffle grilled cheese was very melty. Highly recommend over the usual fare.

My wife and I came here with another married couple we know from my job, he chose this restaurant. Wasn't impressed at all with the food we got for the amount we spent. It took way too long to get served and settle our bill. Plus it was hot inside.

Had a cute solo date here to celebrate myself and it was a great time. Their butter was just out of this world. Oysters were fresh and food was delicious.

Overall a great dining experience. Most of the dishes were good with the octopus being a stand out. Some of the dishes were a bit simple but nothing was bad. Service was very good and the restaurant was clean.

My partner and I came here for Valentine’s Day. It’s a very small restaurant but it has cozy vibes. We ordered the burrata and crispy cauliflower to start. The cauliflower was super crispy and saucy - both were 10/10. We also got the truffle fettuccine, the steak and frites, and the braised beef. The meats were super juicy and cooked to perfection. The pasta was not our favourite - some of the mushrooms tasted weird to us. Our server was super friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion!
