La Palette

My boyfriend and I celebrated our 2-year anniversary at this restaurant, and the food was excellent. We tried the chef's special pork, served medium rare, though I can't recall the French name. It was a solid 4.5/5 for me—slightly heavy on the salt, but the pork itself was outstanding and didn't need much seasoning. The salmon belly appetizer was decent, but the highlight was the horse steak. Despite the 6oz portion being too small for my liking, the meat was exceptional. It had a unique nutty and aromatic flavor, possibly from the chef's seasonings or the natural taste of horse meat itself. It's a must-try! The ambience of the place was 100% and we had a pleasant server.

David was our server at the Bar Delightful Knowledgeable Gets all the steps right We had Oysters, mussels (lovely sauce) And a few glasses of wine at the bar A must go to when downtown midtown A true getaway from the noise Felt like a holiday Thanks so much!

La Palette is a beacon of culinary excellence in the heart of the city, offering a modern twist on traditional French cuisine, a realm where gastronomy meets artistry. Now, let's talk about the star of the show—the food. Each dish at La Palette is a masterpiece crafted with precision and passion. The chef's innovative approach to French cuisine shines through in every bite, from delicate appetizers like Salmon Rillettes, Pate & Horse Tartare to main courses such as Duck Confit. Service is impeccable, with attentive staff & owner who anticipate your every need without being intrusive. The waitstaff's knowledge of the menu and their genuine enthusiasm for the cuisine adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening. For anyone seeking a truly exceptional dining experience, La Palette is not to be overlooked. They’ve been open in Toronto for over 20 yrs, I’ve been remiss not having gone sooner..

My daughter and I had daddy daughter date, and I always wanted us to have a glass of wine & the charcuterie board with a dinner. It was a memorable event that this fine establishment provided for us. The food phenomenal. The service was an A++ tier. It was a modern rustic setting that was very pleasing. I was out of my normal element, but I felt welcomed and satisfied to the fullest. Highly recommend.

Just WOW WOW WOW!!! Amazing staff, incredible food, lovely list of wine! Unpretentious setting yet food is worthy of the best french restaurants. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!

Beautiful, (perfect size) small restaurant, well appointed down to the tablecloths! Loved the decor with high ceilings and a sky light in the back and a kitchen in full view of the patrons. The food was excellent, well portioned (although some might consider small), and mouth watering presentation. This is the kind of restaurant where the quality stands out and every morsel is delicious! We met the owner and he was extremely friendly and welcoming.

We stumbled across this little gem while rushing to find dinner before a show. Although the restaurant was pretty full, the owner and his team quickly set us up and expedited our orders right away. We're French foodie fans and really enjoyed our meals ranging from fried camembert and pate as starters through to moules et frites, duck, salmon and the saffron risotto. The flavours and presentation were all outstanding while the portions were more than adequate. We'll definitely be back!!!

Such a great restaurant. Went with my husband and daughters for a celebration meal. The restaurant itself has an excellent vibe. Super fun and relaxed. The menu is terrific. Everything we ordered was delicious and interesting. The desserts were also very unique and made from scratch. Excellent service. Also set in a terrific part of town. I must see and visit when visiting Toronto.

Love this place. It never disappoints. The service was exceptional and my partner and I had a wonderful dinner before heading to a show. We shared the house salad, pork terrine and entree beef tartare avec frites. All were executed very well, fresh and tasty ingredients. Look forward to the next time!

Came here twice and overall nothing but good things to say. The food is always top notch. Duck confit is amazing, has such a nice crisp on the skin.
