Enjoy a taste of France at Le Baratin, 1600 Dundas West, with a unique menu and an enchanting atmosphere. We offer 2 setting every night; The first dinner service from 5:30 through to 6:30 pm is a maximum of 2 hours dinner experience. For BRUNCH we do not take reservation - walk-in only, from 10 am till 3:30 pm. 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

Very bang for your buck experience, the environment is very welcoming and comfortable. It was my girlfriend’s birthday celebration and they provided excellent service making the night comfortable and relaxed. Just what we wanted. P.s., get the crème brûlée, honestly one of the best I’ve ever had

I highly recommend Le Baratin for anyone who is looking for a traditional French restaurant that transports you to France with absolutely no pretensions. Authentic classic French offerings such as Beef Cheek Bourguinon and French Onion Soup were fantastic. My friend enjoyed his Steak et Frites cooked to perfect med rare.
We were greeted and seated by friendly staff and were served efficiently. The restaurant was busy and reservations are recommended. This is my new down the street restaurant. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much Neil for the 5* you gave us and for your very positive comment. If we managed to "transport" you to France for a couple of hours at a reasonable price, then we're delighted; our mission is accomplished! Merci and see you soon again. Le Baratin Team.

Clement, our server, was exceptional. The food was a treat. The noise levels were a bit high but standard for restaurants these days.

I really like this restaurant. The food is delicious and they have a great offering for a 2 course meal. The service was just right and I got to practice my French with the waiter. Great ambience.

Enjoyed the food it was tasty. Service was attentive, quaint atmosphere.
Le BaratinResponded on March 9, 2025
Thank you for your response and comment and we totally understand your point. But Canada is not England, and people have a different
perception of reviews and comments here. The star system is to rate a restaurant in its own category. There is no way to compare a 3 stars Michelin and a pizza parlor, but both can have a high rating in their category; It'd be like comparing a Mini and a Porsche; different products but both 5* in their category. Cheers!

What a great little find! I went on a date and was looking for good restaurants in the city. The ambiance immediately gave you a French vibe and all the waiters had a French accent. The servers were very attentive and they gave you time to enjoy your food. We shared the escargot and the salmon appetizer, both impeccable. For the mains he had the special beef bourguignon and I had the steak fries (with salad). Both were great although I preferred the steak the flavour was amazing. When I go back they I will get the Steak frites special. I will be back :)
