Best Bistros in Stonegate-Queensway

Incredible service! I chose this place to propose to my now fiance, since it has such a beautiful booth. Heart (If I stand correctly) was a great host and made sure everything was just as planned. I brought a dessert with the ring in it for them to bring out, and they took amazing care of it. We went for brunch and had the pancakes and omelette, they were amazing! Very impressed by the service, personal care and hospitality from all the staff.

Living in a city with an excess of excellent dining options and food in general, it is a very rare occasion that my partner and I visit the same place twice, let alone over and over, like we do with Aloette. Without fail the service is always perfect in a natural, comfortable and non-formalistic or overbearing way. Such service is not teachable - they have done an excellent job selecting their people. With respect to the food, it is always excellent, and if not excellent, very good. Having dined at Aloette since ~2020, there have been some more experimental dishes that we perhaps would not order again. That said, the permanent menu items, which seem to include the Aloette Burger, a crudo option, a tartare option, wedge salad, a protein option (i.e., steak), are always 10/10. The culmination of the ambience, service, and reliably excellent food has always facilitated the making of happy memories with loved ones. That's a rare thing.

Noah's vision for revitalizing this mainstay of Queen Street is a resounding success. The interior finds a niche right in the middle of cozy and classy, with thoughtfully designed walnut wood booths, 2-tops, gloriously quirky art, and a gorgeous bar. Service is always personalized and impeccable, even when they're buried in the middle of a dinner rush. The food is hearty, delicious, and has a range of prices for most budgets The menu hasn't changed a ton over the past few years, but its truly difficult to improve on a selection that can feed even the most challenging palate and stomach. The best restaurant in that area bar none, and one of the most criminally under celebrated bistros in the city.

Always enjoy dining at Lapinou. Great food and service. Look forward to the next time .

Love the mushroom parpadelle, please keep on the menu!
