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

Proper French food. Proper French menu. Proper French service. If you are looking for French, this is it. No other French restaurant that I've eaten at in Toronto does proper French food like Le Baratin. And no, Le Select doesn't.

Fantastic experience! The food was great - especially the duck confit special. Our server was lovely, and made us feel so welcome. The ambience of the restaurant is perfect. Felt like we were in a bistro in Montreal.

We went there to celebraste our 5th year anniversary and we had a blast! From great service to amazing food. I’ve been looking forward to go to this place. Our apps were: beet salad which was very very tasty and soup, delicious as well! My main dish was the steak + frites (the steak was melting in the mouth) and my partner had the special of the day which was sirloin + mashed potatoes(he loved it as well). For dessert we shared an apple pudding with caramel sauce, it was very light on sugar - exactly I was looking for. Lastly, We had such a great time, and we appreciate all the reviews we read here before going, they did not disappoint. Merci Le Baratin!

O.M.G. Ligia, such a great review! Merci. We really appreciate that you took the time to describe in details your dinner at Le Baratin with a such enthusiasm! And we're very happy that we were able to make that evening special for you. Happy Anniversary.

Food was the absolute highlight of the night — everything that arrived on our table came with a beautiful aroma that had us salivating, everything was delicious. My husband who works in the restaurant industry was inspired by the Spinach Potato soup! Highly recommend
