BISTRO COQLICORNE REVIEWS

Wooowww. One of the best restaurants I had been to in a while. All the dishes were unique and stood out on its own. Each flavour profile made sense yet were all so surprising. One bite in and I knew it was going into my "favourite restaurant list". Highly recommend the Buffalo Bill's. The coffee crust had exceptional texture and flavour. It matched perfectly with the sweetness of the figs. Absolutely a must try!! 15/10 The forest was also delicious. The mushroom was definitely the standout. I wished there was more as the portion was a bit small. 9.5/10 The duck was pretty good. I didn't like the risotto as much as it was pretty tangy. 7/10. The creme Brule was savoury with tons of herby flavour. The sweet caramel top made it a cohesive dish. 10/10 I can't wait to try out the other dishes.

It's a go to brunch place if you enjoy having food in a crowded but the place inside seems neatly renovatied. I had a smoked duck sandwiches i would rate it as 3/5 because they tasted like frozen duck meat. Texture wasn't soft. in the bill, tip(5% of our total bill)was already included

This place is amazing !! Awesome food, great vibe, great service, prices are reasonable, great terrace... What more do you need?

LE CELLIER REVIEWS

Never got disappointed in this place. Plates are tasty and done perfectly. Purées and sides are very delicious. You can randomly pick anything on the menu and it would be great. Perfect place for dates, friends gatherings and special occasions. Appetisers recommended: bison tartare, ceviche, bone marrow, and most of all the octopus which is so tender. Lobster risotto and bison main dishes are excellent. Their cocktails are well done.

Excellent gorgeous spot! Old house ambiance with delicious food and wonderful service. Our waitress Amanda was always there to serve and answer questions. We had oysters, followed by steak tartare as my main and my husband had the strip steak. Simply delicious!

Awesome restaurant! My husband and I went there for our anniversary and we loved our experience. The food was sooo tasty and the service amazing. We will definitely be going back!

L'OREE DU BOIS RESTAURANT REVIEWS

L’Orée du Bois is a true culinary gem! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warm and attentive service that set the tone for a delightful dining experience. The food was absolutely exquisite—every dish was a harmonious blend of flavors, beautifully presented, and prepared with meticulous attention to detail. Each bite felt like a celebration of French cuisine at its finest. The cozy ambiance, combined with the exceptional food, made the meal truly unforgettable. I found myself wishing they had a location in Toronto so I could enjoy their food more often. If you’re ever in the area, do yourself a favor and visit L’Orée du Bois.

A beautiful location and atmosphere. Every time I go for dinner here, the creations of the culinary team wow me. Add the cherry on top of an excellent serving staff and you get a wonderful experience eating here every time. Highly recommend!

Perfection in every aspect!!! We will certainly return. Mark, our server, had the perfect level of attention and helped with our food selection. He was wonderful.
