Côte de Bœuf

Went in on a Monday afternoon for lunch, cause this place is tiny and busy. Good busy for a reason too. We love the rustic vibes it brings to the entire seating. The oysters were fresh and side note great for skin, so chuck them in. But we had the duck and steak and I’d come back just for the steak alone, but what was my absolute favorite? The tartare. Smacked my fork on the table with shock and surprise at how delicious it was. This was the best steak tartare a mom avis!!! Compared to black and blue, Jules bistro etc. Plus, the Mexican cola just slaps.

Prime rib was a chewy, but steak tartare was good. Chocolate mouse was no frills in presentation but tasty. Arrived at 7:30pm Saturday night and got seated by 9pm. Expect a bit of a wait.

One of the best "casual but boujee" restaurants in toronto. I didn't get to see inside as I chose to sit in the patio. They do not take reservations and I arrived at 3pm with no wait time! but once 4 approached there was a tiny waitlist. Started off with a Steak tartare and it was super flavourful with the toast. (It seemed like unlimited toast as the server was asking if we wanted more?) But highly recommend We waited a really long time for our main, when we were done with our appetizer the server asked if we wanted our main now. I was in a bit of shock, as we waited over 40mins for our main, we said yes, and the steak came after 15mins. Most restaurants will ask if you want the main and appetizers together or separate. Didn't really like how they didn't ask me-and Service was slow and felt kind of cold But their Steak frites was the best I've ever had. It was very well seasoned! 10oz and it was quite a big cut! Comes with like juice to dip, and butter for the french fries. (FYI they don't have ketchup) and I did ask for medium rare cook and found it to be a little over. BUT the hype is worth it! Just would be better with better service. No street parking after 4pm so I would either come either for lunch, or figure out the situation before you come here like taking transit. I would come back to see their inside.

Small place, cozy atmosphere We ordered the steak frites and beef tartar! Steak frites: juicy and full of flavour! but i just had a harder time chewing the cuts on the end… tartar: we loved the combo with toast, just wished we had one more slice of toast to eat with the remaining tartar. it was really good! overall, i’d rate the food a 8.6/10. it was pretty overpriced too to be honest! but we had a good time here 😊

Food was great and so was the service. The tartare was the best I’ve had and my company agreed. When we ran out of toast we were quickly asked if we would like to be served more. The servers were extremely personable and quick to answer all questions. The steak had great marbling and was cooked to a perfect medium rare. The sauces it was served with were amazing. An overall exceptional experience I cannot recommend more.

Finally got to try this place after saving it for soo long because they don’t take reservations. Luckily we walked in on a weekday night and were able to get a table fairly quickly. The food here was truly amazing, super worth the hype. Our favourites were the beef tartar and steak and frites obviously. But honestly I would order everything again if I came back. The steak was cooked perfectly and I would 100% come back just for that. The service was nice and welcoming, the staffs were super chill, they were talking amongst themselves and having a great time. Pretty tentative and always checked up on the guests. The atmosphere felt homey and a great place to catch up with friends. Music was not too loud, a good and intimate atmosphere to have a conversation with someone.

Stopped in randomly this past weekend! Was drawn in by the cool atmosphere and stayed for the menu. I ordered the escargot, terrine, the pavé, and a couple cheeses. The waiter suggested some wine pairings, all of which were great additions to the experience. Service was awesome and food was great, will definitely be back to try the duck and bone marrow, if offered.

Unfortunately the restaurant ran out of the 2 items I wanted …oysters and bone marrow. We still had a great experience thanks to Eamon who went above and beyond for us on an extra busy Saturday. Highly recommend the crab and tar tar for apps.
