Outstanding and truly memorable - a total gem of a bistro and a spectacular experience. The food was absolutely incredible and I cannot say enough about the kind and hospitable service the two of us received. A truly boutique style French spot with all of the charm, all of the flavour, all of the warmth, and none of the stuffiness or pretension one might expect. We will remember this meal, this experience, this evening and this staff for years to come. We are already planning our next visit. Thank you, Batifole.

Food was good, a little too much sauce on everything but taste was there. Waitstaff were not very accommodating or polite surprisingly. We had reservations for 6 and mentioned of phone, maybe 8. When we arrived only six seats were available. We asked to move a table over or add two chairs and were basically told “too bad you will have to sit at different tables”. When I asked for a second glass of wine, the waitress immediately told me that the restaurant closed in 15 mins…..ok so what, you’re going to throw us out? I did get my glass of wine but it was accompanied by a HUFF. For a fine dining restaurant, their service really lacks professionals. Sad. I will not go back nor will my guests.

Found this place by accident and fell in love with it. People make this place feel like home)) and desserts - incredible!!!! If you like macaroons - ask if they have it like a dessert of the day.

Family style French restaurant, great service, however the food was not meeting my expectation, either too bland or too oily. Certainly not worth the waiting period for the reservation, also a question on pricing. The bread was nice though.

I called the day before my birthday to make an appointment, but was told that I didn't need to make an appointment and could come directly the next day. When I arrived on my birthday, the service lady had a particularly bad attitude and told me that the appointment was full and there was no table left. But there were at least five empty tables on site. It's absolutely absurd. Whether the food is delicious or not, it really ruined my birthday

I want to start with the positive points before I get to my criticism: The service is good. Servers check on you to make sure you have everything you need and ask if you like your food or not. Even the chef himself paid us a visit at the table once to make sure we have a VIP experience which was very interesting and we appreciated it. The deserts were magnificent! Very tasty and fresh, they melt in your mouth!
My criticism starts here: As a vegetarian I was very disappointed in the food. I paid 3 times the price for a food that was easily but by any of the food court fast food restaurants in Toronto! They underestimate the vegetarian's food palate at best and don't have much respect for them at worst. Vegetarian option was just an after thought in the menu. They only have ONE option for you and they have just fried some vegetables and put them on the plate to call it a day, and yet they charge you full price for that! If you or any of your guests or companions are vegetarian, avoid this restaurant or you/your vegetarian friend will be let down by this place!

I had dinner at Batifole last evening. It was absolutely SUPERB . The food was beyond exquisite and the atmosphere was
Pure “France”. I have lived and dined in Toronto for 4 decades. And been to France many times. This was the best Meal I have had in Toronto . Ever !!
The truffle entree was delicious , the duck confit was divine , and the lemon tart with raspberries was the best I have ever tasted. And the chef came out
To greet us at the end of the meal in true Parisian fashion .
I hesitated to share This only because I know I will have a difficulty getting a reservation if others discover this French gem right here in Toronto.

Wonderful food and great service. Will be coming back! The cassoulet and scallops especially were delicious!

This place has amazing French cuisine at a price point that’s pretty reasonable. I’d definitely recommend going with their steak and bone marrow! The cut of steak isn’t what you would typically see at one of these upscale restaurants but the pairing with the bone marrow made a lot of sense and made it taste like it was wagyu!! Everything was beautifully seasoned. I’d definitely come back again ????

One of the few restaurants in Toronto that is worth eating at these days. Delicious and authentic French food. Service is always amazing!

餐厅外表看起来有点破旧。
菜单是seasonal的,特色封油鸭还有带子被一直保留下来。风油鸭确实还不错。第二份带子有点略糊。发现带子的摆盘经常变。daily soup感觉一般。还点了一个pork。吃到一半感觉很咸。
今晚的餐布和餐前面包看到了三根头发,有点失望。但是服务还是挺热情的。
感觉没有小红书和Google review说的那么惊艳。菜品总体感觉风油鸭5分,带子4分,pork 3分,daily soup2分。用餐整体下来平均一下3.5分吧

We were invited to a birthday celebration here. Our first visit was a great one. We weren't too hungry so we didn't order much but everything we ate was delicious. I can't say enough about the soufflé...this is a must try! We'll be back here again for sure. If you're in the neighbourhood you should check them out! Great French cuisine.

Delicious French food. The duck is easily the most popular dish there.

Overall a nice dining experience, good and quick service. The charcuterie board and beef tartar were good but a bit too salty to my taste. I really enjoyed the Raclette braised pork cheek main course, definitely the highlight of the evening. The restaurant is a bit overpriced in my opinion, but that’s something to be expected in Toronto. ????????‍♂️

Excellent dinner!! Service was amazing and people are kind. The food is awesome. It's the second time we came and sure we will be back.

Cute little French restaurant with great food & service! Everything was reasonably priced too. Duck confit is a must try, so is their steak with bone marrow. Small but decent wine list. Chef came out to say hi to everyone which was nice.

After my posting, I realized another client recently 1 month ago gave a star 1 with a similar experience, which might indicate that, unfortunately, the restaurant might not pay too much attention to client review regarding for the same issue

I really like the atmosphere but had a bad experience with the service within the restaurant. I had dinner in this restaurant before and recommended my friend to go here together. However this time I had one of my worst experiences within a French restaurant in Toronto. I had dinner with my friend, the staff, and his name is Charles, was chatting with my friends during the whole time and ignoring me as a client. I felt like he treated me like a blank and like I was not there. I felt not appropriate and ignored as a client.

After several times being treated like I was not in the table, I was not able to focus on the food and was thinking about that I will never come here again and not recommend this place to anyone again. If I was not with my friend and was not care about her feeling and our dinner, I would get off the table and leave right away.

As a client pay the same amount and been polite to the staff all the time, I felt this the type of service I received is highly unprofessional. Highly not recommend and will not come again. I was kind enough to give him a good rating and good tip. But if I got any chance again, I won’t pay any tip.
