    We previously enjoyed their lovely patio and excellent earlier menu in spite of our waiter being inexperienced. Last night indoors the ambiance and our waiter were very good, but the food is no longer special – other excellent French restaurants in Toronto are better and often less costly..

    I always wanted to come and glad we did! We came as a group of four and the food was really good. Our waiter was Kevin and he was so nice, checked frequently and paced the meal well. They also had a DJ and the music vibe was great. We had the sliders and butter salad that were great to start. Shared the spaghetti and ricotta agnalotti and the for mains had the sea bream and short ribs - sooooooo tender and tasty with a side of fries and garlic aioli. This place has a great cocktail menu and the grace and danger is an awesome drink. Great meal for a start to the weekend!

    Service was fantastic. The Lapinou front of house team was attentive and quick. They overheard it was my birthday and put in extra effort to make the dinner special including a dietary restriction friendly dessert. Cocktails were good, happy hour wine was good too. Food was good! Will be back.

    First time to Lapinou and unfortunately we were underwhelmed by the experience and service. Though the restaurant was only half full, our anniversary meal took almost 3 hours for our table of 2 with a 45 minute wait at times between courses. As well, after the restaurant apologized for the wait, there was little done to fix the experience and nothing was comped to our surprise. The pastas were tasty, but cold, and the hen was underwhelming and undercooked. Overall would recommend other spots for special occasions and at >$200 for 2 people, there’s far better value on king west.

    Very impressed with every dish we had. Each had a unique mixture of ingredients that amplified the flavour. Having been to over+ 50 fine dining establishments, this was in the top 10! Getting a few dishes and sharing is the way to go. Will be back and very soon.
