Absolutely love La Banane, from the exceptional service you received from the welcome to the servers, to the delicious food and cocktails, hands down one of my favourites restaurants in the city! Sylvain made this experience even more memorable with his outstanding service and charisma! The food was delicious and we enjoyed every bite of the mushroom dish, the pork and the steak, and to finish, the banane dessert which is to die for! Highly recommended!

The food was very good, but pricey and for the price, I prefer linen tablecloths and napkins. A slightly more upscale environment. But I will be back because the food and service was excellent …which is the most important parts of dining out.

Parkdale

About the restaurant

Enjoy a taste of France at Le Baratin, 1600 Dundas West, with a unique menu and an enchanting atmosphere.
We offer 2 setting every night; The first dinner service from 5:30 through to 6:30 pm is a maximum of 2 hours dinner experience.
For BRUNCH we do not take reservation - walk-in only, from 10 am till 3:30 pm.
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.
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

Lovely gem near our neighborhood - had the snails with mushrooms sauce and magret de canard à l’orange - délectable. We will come again / would love to see your cheese soufflé on the menu again…had it for my birthday a couple of years ago…

Amazing service and food, only small gripe was the tiny 4oz wine pours which seemed a bit ridiculous given the cost per glass.
