    The food and service was great. But I am not a fan of noisy places. People were enjoying themselves but I prefer a quieter place. Is there an area that is less noisy.. Maybe the patio in the summer when construction on the Well is done. But overall a pleasant place with great service and excellent food.

    I saw this restaurant listed as one of the best in Toronto and decided to try it when we came for a visit. We had a wonderful dinner - excellent food and ambiance. What really set it apart for us, however, was the service. Our server was welcoming, efficient, knowledgeable about the menu and kind. She made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. Our experience was just lovely because of her.

    I’ve been going to Le Select for a few decades, since it was on Queen St. This is the first time we have been back since the pandemic and it is under different ownership. It is still a lovely place to be and the staff are well-trained and friendly but the food is simply not as good as it once was. We did not like the half litre of wine recommended by the server, particularly for the price, and when she asked if we liked it and we indicated we were not that happy with it, she said maybe we would like it better when the food arrived. We didn’t. She should have offered to replace it since we had only had a few sips. The poisson fumé, the smoked whitefish appetizer, seems to be a reinterpretation of the whitefish mousse on the old Le Select menu. It was also a long term favourite of ours at the old restaurant but we did not like the new version. The pâté de campagne appetizer was good. We ordered bread and there is now a $12 charge. The bread is very good but when when the dinner runs $150 per person, it should be included. The meat on my steak frites was of mediocre quality, and the fries tasted like they came out of a bag at the grocery store. I used to order this dish regularly from the old Le Select. It was my favourite and it is no longer one I could recommend. It was poor value for money. The bouillabaisse was good. The duck confit was ok. We ordered only one dessert, the crème brûlée, and it was very good. We went for a special occasion and we left wishing we had gone elsewhere because too much of the meal was disappointing.

    Since relocating to Ajax in 2021, we hadn't visited Le Select Bistro until recently. Eager to indulge in their steak and fries along with salmon tartare, we specifically planned a trip to Toronto for this dining experience. Regrettably, the steak lacked flavor, the sauce was virtually absent, and instead of the expected authentic baguette and butter, we were served garlic bread. This disappointing meal made our trip and expenditure seem unworthy due to the lackluster taste of the food.

    My family enjoyed a wonderful meal here. We ordered the bread, French onion soup, and onion tart for appetizers, and while everything was good, the French onion soup was outstanding. For mains we ordered the black cod, half roast chicken with side pomme puree, and the duck confit. Everything was cooked well and had a nice flavour, though I will say the portion on the fish was on the smaller side for the price paid. We shared the tarte tatin for dessert and that was a lovely end to our meal. Definitely recommend, even if it’s a bit pricey!

    We had an outstanding brunch at Le Select on Saturday, from the excellent ambiance and food, to the pitch perfect service. From he hostess to our waiter to the helpful, and handsome bearded Sommelier, the whole experience was flawless. Our group was catching up after a long time of not seeing each other, so there was a lot of time at the table before we ordered, and our waiter showed great patience returning several times, and assuring us there was no rush to order. When we finally did order, the food came well-timed, and all together. The Sommelier was very brilliant, as he walked us through the extensive wine list, finally recommending the perfect brunch wine to fit our tastes, mood and budget, and somewhat of a rare offering too! We all exclaimed that when the elderly disabled guest at the next table slipped off of their chair to land on the ground, the Sommelier leapt over to give him a hand up, wow! I would not only recommend, but indeed implore anybody who likes great food, ambiance and service to get to Le Sélect Bistro without delay!
