About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Neighborhood gem

Parquet is warm, stylish and casually elegant. Located on a cherished corner on Harbord Street, Parquet blurs the line between a neighbourhood favourite and a Toronto destination: relaxed and down to earth, yet refined and cosmopolitan.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Zachary Darke

From the OpenTable editors: Casual French dishes are reimagined with Toronto produce and global flavors at this elegant Harbord bistro. Dig into cassoulet simmered in ramen broth made from local pork, and broccolini sauced with salsa macha. Or post up at the striking marble bar and make an evening out of oysters and Champagne.

Our first time dining with Parquet and we had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Ambience is cozy and classic, and the staff (bar and service) were all friendly from the get go. We appreciated how knowledgeable the staff was with both food and beverage options and we confidently opted for some of their recommendations. The shrimp risotto small plate and the hamachi crudo were perfection. The steak frites was reasonably priced and tasty. Not to mention the pain au lait. It’s a must, you won’t regret it! We will definitely be back to explore and enjoy more. Thanks again for having us!

Took in-laws from out of town. Staff friendly, smart, bright, helpful. Decor tasteful, contemporary, and had me looking around the room to enjoy it throughout. Food right on point. Focused menu, with new items since my last visit. Each dish beautiful to look at, sophisticated, and tasty. Left the plates clean. Two appetizers - the tartar and carmelized onions. Main - dad the haddock (new item) and the side of greens. Can't share desert as we were running out for an early comedy show, so that's my fault. Look forward to the next visit.

Overall, the food was ok. Nothing outstanding. Steak tartare was overly salty. Risotto with the grilled shrimps was great. Though, the duck confit was again overly salty. Even with consideration of being Saturday night, the service was extremely slow, it was difficult to get an attention from the server. It took quite a bit of time for the empty glass to be filled with water.

We received a nice welcoming at the front of the house. Excellence ambience and great servers, who knew when to come by and when to leave us alone in our conversation. The chef was accommodating to food sensitivities. Unique cuts of beef such as hanger steak and cheeks. All the dishes were excellent with the exception of the salmon, which tasted 'fishy' in a not good way. Also delicious warm apple dessert on a cold evening. Note that the noise volume is quite loud for those who prefer a quiet atmosphere.
