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

This is the second time I've been to Le Baratin and once again, it was impeccable. The vibe is perfect, all the food is top notch, and the service is great. A true slice of France in the middle of Toronto. For the quality and service you receive, the prices are really fair. Highly recommend Le Baratin.

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.
