Auberge du Pommier

One of Toronto's best. French at its finest with a beautiful setting in the middle of the city. The menu is filled with traditional items like seak tartar, duck, and much more. Incredible wine selection from a house red to incredible vintages. Service here is on point with personal attention but a personal feel. The staff here make you feel like you are a home and want to make you happy. The experience here is so enjoyable its not just a meal.

We had a lovely anniversary lunch here. The servers are attentive and hospitable and the food is excellent. The prefixe menu is a nice value. The only surprise that slightly marred our otherwise pleasant experience was finding some pinfeathers still protruding from my duck confit. I happened to have tweezers in my purse to take care of it, and the dish was otherwise well-composed but it was surprising that the chef and server both overlooked that detail. I found the elderflower gelée on the crème brûlée to be a lovely touch and appreciated the anniversary message for us on the plate. We may come again for a special occasion when we're in town.

This restaurant is considered as fine dining and their food was good overall, but I found that each item slightly missed its mark. The flavours were unbalanced and the fish was overcooked, which I would be a lot more lenient of, if they weren’t trying to be such a high end establishment and charging the amount that they are. The ambience of the restaurant was very nice and the service is fantastic, we asked to be moved to a different table closer to the fire and they accommodated that very quickly. I would come back again, but I do wish that there could have been a little more care put into the food at that price point.

Had the tasting menu, and was amazing. Everything was cooked well and seasoned beautifully, and each dish was presented and explained in detail concisely (risotto was my favorite, and the bisque a close second). Service was great, and the restaurant was beautiful. Will come again.

We wanted to try Auberge for some time and went there to celebrate my birthday. We very much liked the experience, food, service and ambiance. We had salad deeese, rib eye steak with mashed potatoes and Paris Brest and Mille feuilles for desert. Also tried Ume martini which was delicious. There was also pain au lait which was very delicious. I liked that they managed to cook my steak to perfection without burning it or making it chewy!! Had a lovely evening and really enjoyed the service and food

Auberge du Pommier is an Oliver & Bonacini mainstay for French fine dining. It's been around since the 1980s but the building is far older, largely built around two cottages dating back to the 1860s. It's probably often described in ad copy as having "rustic charm", and frankly that's an accurate assessment. There's literally white glove service - this is the sort of restaurant you would consider for making a marriage proposal (I considered it!) or as a wedding venue. We went for a date night, taking advantage of an O&B gift card I bought on Black Friday. Even then, it was expensive - this is the definitely a place to splurge a bit and treat yourself. We had the Bread & Butter, Salade Déesse, Beef Tartare, Hudson Valley Canard, Asparagus, Fork-Mashed Potato (i.e. Pommes de Terre à la Fourchette), and espressos for dessert. I'll describe each dish in turn. The bread was delightfully warm and soft, and the cured butter was outstanding. I'm not going to belabor the point - it's bread and butter - but it was executed at the highest level. Along with the bread and butter we were given an amuse bouche (gratis) that was essentially a cheese tart. It didn't have much flavour but was a pleasant start to the meal. The Salade Déesse was comprised of lettuce leaves stuffed with avocado, topped with dill and cilantro, and dressed in a lemony vinaigrette. It was really tasty: I love the idea of adding dill to what are otherwise conventional taco ingredients. I'll probably be making homemade iterations of this dish for months/years to come. In terms of the beef tartare, I sometimes find that restaurants will go overboard with bold flavours, perhaps to distract from lower quality meat, but fortunately that was not the case here. Some Dijon mustard and greens on top rounded out the dish nicely, but the beef shines through. The asparagus was essentially the perfect texture, whereas I often find it too firm or soft. The mashed potatoes were also good. Both dishes were well-executed but conventional (which, to be honest, is basically the O&B modus operandi) The Hudson Valley Canard was easily the standout dish of the meal and is one of the best duck dishes I've ever eaten. It was outstanding, I can't recommend it highly enough. The duck was really succulent, and the orange and candied citrus (!) added such an interesting complementary flavour. We were almost licking the plate we enjoyed it so much. Lastly, we ordered espressos for dessert and were given complimentary cookies and fudge. Both were pleasant and went well with the espressos. Overall, Auberge du Pommier is a beautiful restaurant to enjoy well-executed (albeit not especially inventive) French fine dining for a special occasion.

The service was excellent, creating a pleasant atmosphere for celebrating a birthday. While the food was good overall, it didn't quite meet expectations given the price point.

This place is fantastic i really like the everything of the starting specially the foie gras terrine with the toast bread . And for the main dishes i l like my "little Joe" add foie gras ontop very tender. I heard about the “canard” everyone mentioned it is amazing on the insta page then i give it a tried. We asked for medium rare.cause that's the most popular meat level of the duck beast. Can still taste the meat fiber.it was too raw for us ..maybe should get it well done. More like crispy ..but over all still amazing..And our lovely server Walter is great 🥰
