To start, it is not a Bistro, if you are expecting the classic French experience, you will be sadly disappointed. It is more like a new wave Italian avant-garde type of eatery. Food was very good, but extremely small portions. The beef $60,… enough maybe for one and you will still be hungry. Wine list badly balanced, don’t get me wrong, great wine I had for $160, but there are no $85 to balance the selection. Next bottle was way over $120 ( not… that kind of restaurant) Our server when we asked so many questions and was sceptical about the menu, very curtíos and educated, simply changed his “ tone”, serve us well but you can tell we were not his favourite table. I personally won’t be back, but again, it will be totally unfair if I say it was a bad experience, simply not for me. $560 for 4 people,… expected more

Did the NYE second dinner experience at Lapinou. Good amount of delicious foods for $110pp. Service was good. Our server made sure to tell us which items from the menu are gluten free.

We were 20 minutes early for our reservation and they were super cool about it. Wonderful service throughout the evening. Best dirty martini that I’ve had in forever. Started with the cheese and bread/olives- both good. I had the Ricotta Agnolotti which was delicious and daughter had Spaghetti which was good but not to her taste. Husband had the “shareable” lemon pepper hen which he ate by himself. Had the Broccolini which I thought was great but was surprisingly spicy for rest of family. Split the Brown Butter Tart for dessert which they gave us on the house “because my daughter was so polite” (a fact she talked about all the way back to hotel). By far best meal we had while in Toronto.

Came for drinks with a friend. The place has a really nice ambiance and is quite cozy. Tables are close to each other so it was easy to hear and listen in on other people's conversations. Our server Peter was very attentive and provided excellent service. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a really good restaurant in King West.
