Le Baratin
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. Jean likes the good old way of preparing food - truly, the proper way! Moreover, there is not a bistro in France that doesn’t serve at least 2 out of the 3 desserts we offer: Tarte Tatin, Mousse au Chocolat, and Creme Caramel.
For lunch, the Croque Monsieur is a must-have. French peasant, or street food, is uniquely reinvented here.
Our wine list is mid-priced and extensively curated from France; we offer the best value for the best price. Or, try any of our other cocktails!

The head chef came out to our table to check on how our meal was. Such good food and service! Great night!
Spectacular experience. Enjoyed every bite of my meal. I was blown away with the service from the staff, they were extremely kind and observant. We definitely want to make this a regular dinner spot. Not to mention the price isn't that bad for the incredible food you get
It was great!
Great food, great wine, great service. Definitely recommend that restaurant!
Excellent food, service. Perfect for a romantic evening. Will be back again
Lovely, as always. Delicious, perfect. There are not enough superlatives.
Nice little french restaurant in Toronto. Typical tasty french cuisine. They have french wine too. Nice service. A must-do.
Good neighborhood and easy to park nearby.
Very classic french menu, the Prix fix was well worth it. I had the magret de canard and my friend had the potato tart and they were perfect, highly recommend both. All the staff spoke both French and English. The ambience was very nice and the lighting and decor were very charming. Would definitely dine here again.
Loved the food !! Especially if you to try something from France.
Good wine too.
Cozy and intimate french comfort food. Something about this place will keep me coming back
The pate was melt in your mouth comfort!
Excellent service, great selection of wine. Top marks for presentation and flavours of dishes as well.
Everything was fantastic! I got the ratatouille and my husband got the steak frites and it was perfection. Thank you!
Simple French bistro. Great wine selection .Delicious food.
Always an amazing time at Le Baratin. It is a neighbourhood gem!
I went here with a party of 6 for my 45th birthday, and EVERYTHING we tried was delicious: every appetizer, main, and all 4 desserts. Classic French cuisine with modern flair in a cute, cosy ambiance. There is a ridiculously well priced prix fixe menu, your choice of 2 or 3 courses, with options for vegetarians as well. I loved the homemade boursin and hummus; my friends raved about the rillettes de canard, the salade nicoise, the duck special and the steak frites. I had the ratatouille provencale with polenta and it was delicious. We shared the creme brulee, the chocolate mousse with amaretto, the poached peaches with ice cream, and the lemon trifle. None of us could decide on a favourite. Just try them all ;D
Our server Laura, was warm, charming and funny; the service was perfect.
I went here for a birthday with friends, but it would also be great for a romantic dinner, a business meeting, or your parents' anniversary. I can't say enough. We will all definitely be back.
Been 5 times food always comes out perfect. Very delicious.
My father and I celebrated his 86th birthday at Le Baratin and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The food, wine, service, and ambiance were all spectacular!
Quality food, exciting choices that would take me forever to prepare on my own. Well priced and I leave feeling Pleasantly full (twice now!) The customer service is excellent and can I’ll be done in French if you wish!
Experience is such that we keep coming back because the food is so good.
Le Baratin is our go-to French restaurant in TO. Food is delicious (although menu doesn’t change much), portions are generous & prices are very reasonable. Service is friendly & efficient, and the food comes quickly.
Can’t recommend it highly enough!
Always good!!!
Had a fantastic dinner on the curb side patio. This is a great place with great food. Definitely worth the price.

Had a deliciously wonderful dinner on the sidewalk patio.
I'm a repeat customer to Le Baratin because it is excellent. Great food, value, service, and a pleasing ambience. Dining on the street was noisy due to many big trucks and motorcycles but otherwise, this evening was 5star all the way.
I am thrilled to have discovered this restaurant. Superb food, totally authentic, attentive but unobtrusive service. Good choice of wines and cocktails. Excellent value for a delightful evening.
Amazing experience! Can't believe we didn't find this place sooner. Authentic French food with a casual but refined atmosphere. M wife and I came for a special occasion (anniversary) and were not disappointed! The service (from Laura) was excellent as well.
Great! Live this place. No fuss and relaxed atmosphere.
Fantastic food, cozy patio, very clean, and great service.
A wonderful experience and excellent food. Look forward to our next visit.
First, I live in the neighbourhood so pre-pandemic I was a regular. This was our first dinner out in 5 months and as expected Le Barati did not disappoint.The food was great and consistent with past performance.
Transported to another place in the world with curbside dining, this little french bistro did not disappoint with the food and wine. The flavours brought me back to Paris as did the wine. Very reasonably priced wines, and with a prix fixe menu, it makes this place a steal. Good service and friendly staff. It was a wonderful meal, and made for a wonderful ending to a day of birthday celebrations. We will be back.
Great experience - incredibly authentic, amazing value / portion size, great service. My duck confit was excellent. Couldn't ask for a better experience.
