    Staff was unbelievably sweet. Becca was especially outstanding. Food has been better in the past. We ate out front. Unfortunately two mice were running around towards the end of the evening. We went with guests with whom we have been going there for decades since Queen St. They said they would not be coming back. I still like the ambiance. I would recommend it to a friend with the warnings mentioned above.

    Service was impeccable cannot be understated. Milk bread with shallots was also good and the crème Brûlée was stellar. However the $50 and $70 dollar steak frites were both bland/under seasoned. The herb butter didn’t help much so we shared some peppercorn gravy, it was okay. Overall you could do a fair bit better for steak frites for a better price in that area. If you are looking for other French foods they have a great selection and looked great on other tables.

    A wonderful reminder of how good french cooking can be! Everything was prepared perfectly and flavours were spot on. Service was efficient and friendly and it didn't hurt that it was a perfect alfresco dining evening. With a menu that makes it impossible to choose, highly recommend you bring friends who will share a bite of their amazing meal with you!

    I have dined three times since Le Select reopened, post COVID-19 lockdown, and the change in ownership. In each visit the caliber of cuisine was in some way diminished from the previous quality, which was invariably outstanding. Yesterday, the timing of service was somewhat slower and less precise than expected, although adequate, and staff were friendly and accommodating. The striving to replicate an authentic French bistrot was more in evidence previously. For many years it was one of our favorite restaurants; nowadays, somewhat less so.

    It's a nice place to eat but not an extensive menu for lunch. The wine was a little pricey but had a small glass anyway. My son was annoyed with the service though I wasn't.

    We are a group of six people and a small dog. We had prior booking and was seated right away. Our serve Rene was superb. She was attentive and full of positive energy. The food and drink themselves are also good. The fettuccine and mussels are very good. So are the sorbet. The onion soup is a little bit dry for having a bit too much bread but overall it tastes great. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time. Will definitely return.

    Lovely staff, quiet and relaxed atmosphere inside, and the air show was on outside! I had the omelette for brunch and my gf got the steak frites which were both delicious! omelette French style of course, with potatoes. We also had 2 rounds of kir Royal cocktails which were also delicious! Would love to come back when the back garden patio is open.

    Well it is this I did not get what I ordered. I accepted it. It was not hot nor where my other guests. What bothered me the most was the base of the table where absolutely filthy and the air vents were long overdue to be cleaned Yet another example of Toronto restaurants not cleaning properly

    French onion soup was something to rave about pre-pandemic. With the new owners it’s nothing special at all. Quite disappointing by comparison.

    Friendly service and wonderful atmosphere out on the patio. I had the Steak Frites and the steak was cooked to my order. I opted for the red wine jus as well. My partner's bouillabaisse apparently was delicious as well. The escargot appetizer was fine but not sure if we would order again and opt for another choice next time. Overall was a very nice evening.

    Loved the place, food was really good. Things that didn't work very well were first of all, the noise. We were close to a table with 10 or12 guests, and there was some obnoxious lady "scream-laughing" annoyingly all the time. This was truly unexpected to happen in such a nice environment, in fact I do not recall that kind of behaviour even in not fancy places. Second thing was the timing for our food, we had to wait too much, it was worth it in the end, but the wait was definitely long. Our waiter was a super nice guy, give him a raise! Miguel

    A little bit of authentic French bistro atmosphere in the middle of downtown Toronto. A bit pricey for just a casual drop in (unless you have the means), but perfect for occasions, even if all you’re celebrating is the great pair of shoes you just bought.

    Unfortunately my steak and frites was just barely warm bordering on cold. It wasn't even hot enough to melt the butter on top. For the price charged I expected more. As I was with a group I did not send it back as I did not want to create a scene. One other person in my group also mentioned to me that her steak was also cold. Prices seemed high for the quality of food served.
