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. Chef Jean likes the good old way of preparing food - truly, the proper way!
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

    The appetizers were ok but nothing to write about. Entrées were delicious with a well madr duck breast and a tender medium-raw steak. The duck was paired with a recommended red wine that my wife said was very good. Dessert was also ok. We celebrated my wife's bday there and enjoyed the ambiance and intimate setting that the place provided. The service is nothing exceptional. Spent about $180 for a 3 course meal for both of us, a glass of red wine, and a Bacardi & coke drink.

    have been living beside this spot for a few years now and I regret not coming here sooner. Well executed food and great atmosphere. Very intimate dining room with friendly and honest staff! They had the foie as a special for an appetizer option and probably the best I’ve had in a long time, perfectly seasoned. We will be returning and plan on going more often now that we know it’s truly a gem!

    My second visit. The mussel appetizer was delicious as was the arctic char. Disappointed with the orange creme brulee. The top was torched and hot and the inside was cold. I didn't taste the orange like previously. And the texture was curdled, watery and unsmooth. Perhaps just removed from the freezer?I had such a great memory of this dessert from my previous visit

    We went for the first time as an early valentines dinner, servers were very helpful in explaining the prix fixe menu, and the feature board. I ordered the pate to start and the lamb shank as my main, both were excellent ! My wife had the mussels to start, followed by the steak frites, which she really enjoyed. I ordered the cheese plate from the appetizer menu as my 'dessert', to round out my three course meal, and we shared it between us. Good wine list, and they have a to-go selection, all at a good price ! Great place for a great French meal , without paying a fortune and getting small plates, served by pretentious staff. Definitely recommended and we will add to our regular rotation,

    Odd 'music' choice. At first we didn't understand what we were hearing because it was just a low deep base beat that was going on/off in interval. We actually thought maybe it was the neighbours with loud music. Eventually some popish tune emerged, nothing inspiring. To be honest, there is no need for any ambient music. It's super lovely to just hear the chatter of all the customers eating, drinking and conversing. I vote for no music. Alternately tuning it off/down once the place gets full. I'd rather raise my voice to talk because of the customers chatter than because of the music. Too loud music and bad acoustics plague the Toronto resto scene. Thank you. Another great meal!
