Le Paradis

A bit outdated place that has been there forever. But good service and food. Friendly people and dedicated to make it a good experience for your group.

The staff are so unfriendly, grumpy and rude! If you don’t want to serve, then get another job. I still tipped but honestly I regret tipping them! We were having a dinner with great friends at Le Paradis. Regrettably the great company with friends (food is ok) was ruined by the rudeness of their staff. We live on the same street. We love to support the local businesses (there are so many great restaurants in this neighbourhood), but this was such a horrible experience. Will never go back again!

A cozy and warm french dining experience in downtown. Extremely friendly staff and excellent food. ✨ Highlight: Flatiron steak, Duck and chicken liver mousse 💭 Other thoughts: For the Escargots, i’d love it even more if it could be more garlicky and slightly saltier!

Food wasn’t as good as I expected it to be. Charcuterie had no cheese which was unusual, and had perhaps a pâté or or tartar which wasn’t great. Duck breast entree was pretty good. Wine was great. Mussels were great. Nothing stood out as amazing though it was a reliable French restaurant atmosphere and impeccable service.

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant. On multiple occasions, I asked for some bread, since it was free, and the waiter rudely responded that bread is expensive and costs $10 a loaf, suggesting that I should keep that in mind. He even went on a rant about how most restaurants don't give out bread and butter anymore or charge for it. The situation worsened when we decided to leave. As we got up to go, there were many people being seated, and one of the waitresses sarcastically remarked, "So now you are finally leaving! Go out the back door!" This level of unprofessionalism and rudeness is unacceptable. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Great bistro, lots of ambiance. Excellent food. Extremely reasonable wine card, topping at 50$/bottle, with very good products on offer.

I’ve been a loyal customer of this French bistro for almost four years now since we live very close by. However, my most recent dining experience left me very disappointed. It wasn't about the food—the food is still amazing! But the service was really bad. One of the older lady servers stepped on my chair while setting up my table and started being grumpy. When she was cleaning the table, it almost looked like she was throwing the plates. She ignored me most of the time when I asked for more bread, please. We heard her asking every table around us how the food was, but she only showed attitude toward our table. I don't know if she’s racist or what because we were the only Asian group. My friend only gave her a 12% tip, and she started making very grumpy sounds behind our backs. I’ll go back for the food for sure, but I will not tip next time if the service is still this bad.

Disappointing date night experience. Despite making advance reservations and the restaurant not being overly full, we were seated in the basement near the washrooms. Diners at two different nearby tables were conversing loudly, continuously dropping F-bombs every few sentences throughout the meal. Definite mood killer which staff could / should have addressed imo. This combined with the tired decor in the dungeonesque dining area failed to create a positive impression. Portion size to price ratio seemed fair however the food itself was only mediocre - bland and uninspired - falling far short of the rave reviews we had read here before booking. Server was attentive and the only bright spot of an otherwise lacklustre experience. While it may be unfair to compare the food / ambience to authentic experiences we've enjoyed in France, it IS fair to measure against a comparable meal enjoyed at another French restaurant in Toronto just four days prior, which absolutely outshone Le Paradis on every level, at precisely the same price point. The other restaurant is one to which we will most certainly return. Le Paradis, not so much.

An authentic French restaurant in downtown Toronto with a wide selections of French cuisine dishes that will bring you an aromatic experience dining here. The setting is very cozy and warm. The staffs are extremely friendly and attentive. I would recommend trying everything that your stomach can handle because the food in this place is definitely underrated. The price point is another A+ for the food you’re getting. Would come back any day.

Great food, service and ambience! If the server remembers me, I did send the ' creme caramel ' picture to my mom and she liked it! ( It was yummy btw)
