Lucie

The food was delicious and so beautifully plated. Surprisingly they took a dinner walk-in for two at the bar after work as it’s only tasting menu in the evenings (didn’t realize this) but has a la carte option at lunch. I’ve been here for lunch as well, but the dinner experience was outstanding. Beef Wellington made to perfection. Loved the Greek olive leaf crown on the scallop dish. Will be back for sure on a special occasion!

Everything from start to finish was PERFECT - Great staff, ambiance, and even better food. We came for a special occasion and got the 7 course which was phenomenal and exquisite. The unique blend of flavours and presentation really made everything memorable. Thank you to our server Eric for making such a memorable experience and head chef Arnaud for helping us celebrate such a special moment with the most amazing food.

I came here on a Monday evening with a friend. It was easy to chat and we didn't feel rushed. The service was warm and friendly. That would probably be my favourite part. The food was beautifully presented and with so much precision. The dessert was delicious. The mini macarons in a chest of drawers was fun to open. If you like French food and want to enjoy upscale dining this would be a place for you. I don't think I need to come back again.

Our first visit to Lucie was with our kids, and we had a lovely experience. This time, we returned just the two of us to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and it was just as wonderful. The food was delicious, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere was perfect for both family dining and special occasions. We truly enjoyed both visits and look forward to coming back again.

Michelin-recommended for 2 consecutive years. This raised our curiosity. We chose Lucie to celebrate my birthday, hoping for a local gourmet experience that felt special and memorable to match the theme. The five-course tasting menu with wine pairing did not disappoint. The staff floated through the room with grace, warm smiles, and just the right amount of presence. Extra points for seating us beside the glass-walled kitchen, where we could watch every dish come together in real time. That detail mattered even more because my partner is a professionally trained chef from Le Cordon Bleu. For him, the open kitchen added a front-row, observer’s layer to the evening, and for me, it added a little theatre. Each course was thoughtfully presented, with flavours that felt refined, diverse, and beautifully in sync. The five-course Menu Émotion by Chef de Cuisine Arnaud Bloquel opened with an amuse-bouche “Du Jour,” followed by Le Bar, featuring Atlantic seabass with sugar cane, parsnip, and Bayuls vinegar. The parsnip, thinly shaved and shaped into a delicate flower, was a quiet showstopper. Next came La Saint Jacques with scallop, green mango, shiso, aged rhum, and olive oil. The green mango sorbet was a surprise I did not see coming. Light, refreshing, and perfectly timed. The main course, Le Pigeon, featured Richview Farm squab with fig, beetroot, and fig leaf reduction. Bold, balanced, and cooked to perfection. The fig sauce tied everything together without overpowering the dish. Dessert arrived with La Griotte, a playful yet elegant combination of morello cherry, Valrhona Caraïbe 66 percent chocolate, vanilla, and cacao nibs. The final course, La Banane, closed the night with green banana, Valrhona chocolate, caviar, and gold flakes. A finish that felt celebratory and slightly indulgent, exactly as a birthday should. The wine pairing elevated every course and felt intentional rather than repetitive. A personal favourite was the Clos de Kew Chardonnay from Niagara’s Kew Vineyard, a lovely local highlight. Service throughout the evening was graceful, engaging, and knowledgeable, paced in a way that let the night unfold naturally, without ever feeling rushed. We were hoping to meet the chef but we saved it for next time. Lucie is intimate, polished, and confident in its craft. Perfect for celebrations, milestones, or anyone craving a tasting menu that feels personal and worth talking about the next day. Easily one of the most memorable gastronomic experiences we’ve had in Toronto.

This is the best prix fix in Toronto so far！ Every dish is creative and the taste is way out of expectation. My fav is the beef wellington and the amuse-bouche. I went for my birthday and the chef sent a lot of surprise dishes. Hope they can bring back seared scallop instead of scallop tartare.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable culinary experience, Lucie Restaurant is where you need to be! The highlight of my evening was definitely the Pithivier experience. The attention to detail at Lucie Restaurant shines through not only in the food but also in the service. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about their offerings, which made the whole experience feel special. If you’re even remotely a fan of fine dining, do not miss the Pithivier experience when you visit. It’s worth every bite, and it's an experience that elevates the entire meal. Lucie also offers five courses and seven courses tasting menu.

Wonderful experience! We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Lucie and were delighted. The atmosphere, the welcoming team, Yannick and Chef Arnaud, the spectacularly creative and delicious food - everything was perfect. Thank you!

I had the pleasure of visiting Lucie with a friend for a collaborative dinner tasting featuring a guest chef from Antler. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted exceptional--not a single one disappointed us. The ambiance was elegant and inviting, perfect for a special occasion or a memorable evening out. Lucie is definitely a high-end dining experience, so be prepared to spend over $100 per person. Our tasting menu for the evening was $350 each, but it was absolutely worth every penny. Great service as well, every dish was given an explanation of what it was and how the chef intended it to taste. Definitely a restaurant I'd recommend for a night of fine dining!

Lucie is best visited when someone else is paying. It can get quite expensive. Some justified, the food, and some not so much, the wine and water prices. There is no denying that the artistry of the dishes is impressive and a culinary adventure. Table for four on a Saturday night. We all had the 3 course set menu. There is no a la carte options. It's either a 3 course or 6 course meal. We had the 3 for $140 each. While it's 3 courses the chef includes some additional surprises along the way that were the highlight of the meal. They also do a great job of explaining the ingredients in each dish to enhance the experience. To start, after a first chef surprise, I had the Foie Gras which was melt in your mouth good. The other three had the Venison Ravioli (Raviolo would be more accurate - only one served). They all seemed impressed. As a main we each had the Le Canard - Duck "A l'orange". This was good. Duck is always a favorite of mine. For dessert I had the Choux Pastry, Hazelnut Praline. While it didn't wow me I did enjoy it. The Chocolat dessert was likely the way to go. The dishes are all small but they did offer bread to help fill us up. We did have a mishap on the wine. First, while the menu is impressive with wines ranging to $10K a bottle I found that the options for Reds around $150 were limiting. We did choose one but it was off or as their Sommelier called it "rude". Oddly he gave the impression that they were aware of issues with this wine but still were serving it. He did graciously bring out two other bottles that were not on the menu at the same price range to choose from. The second bottle was fine but since it was brought directly from the cellar it was served too cold. Had to wait quite some time until it was drinkable. Perhaps the wine pairing at $95 each was a better way to go. Another small item that bothered me was San Pellegrino at $9 a bottle. It's a bit rich and unnecessary. I'm well aware of what that water really costs. At least get a more exotic French water if you'd like to charge that much. Service was impeccable. Ambiance wise it really feels more like it's meant for an executive business lunch - and ideally one where someone else is paying.

This review is for the lunch prix fixe. I have been meaning to try this spot after the very positive feedback from the food forum community. Good stuff as I was so impressed that I will come back dinner soon. The ambiance is very nice though I don't recall what occupied this spot before. It's even connected to the path if you are inclined not to leave it certain parts of the year. I have egg, scallops and lemon dessert set. All of the items including the freebie of bread were very good. One can do quite bad in this area for similar priced lunch. Place holder for now for a return dinner. Highly recommended

We went here for a birthday dinner and the ambiance is laidback and upscale. The service here is impeccable, they really pay attention to detail and go above and beyond. A lot of the staff speak French and are very knowledgeable on the food and wine. We did a 6 course tasting menu that included some free little tasters from the chef. The presentation is spectacular and all dishes used elevated ingredients. For a special occasion, I highly recommend going to Lucie!

LOVED not only the food but the whole exceptional, fine French dining experience. My partner booked this restaurant for my birthday. We were discussing on whether we should go for Table d'Hôte (multi-course meals with only a few choices, $130) or Tasting Menu ($220 with more choices) for a few days (!) and we decided on Table d'Hote as we were interested in their cocktails (they were exceptional as well!) and wines besides the food. Also, we joked that, if we were younger - we would go for the Tasting Menu plus whatever the drinks we want - we know our stomach is not as big as a decade ago lol. We were right - SUPER satisfied with everything - food, drinks and services - the whole experience! After we ordered, enjoying the cocktails (Lucie Royale & Emotion Noire - both excellent, esp liked Emotion Noire), we were greeted by the chef. The following appetizers (not in the menu) were brought to the table before the actual course started. - Canapés (Rabbit confit) - Amuse-bouche (Buckwheat based soup with smoky bacon and roasted almond with egg croutons - OMG) - Les Entrées (Jelly with crab meat, formed cheese on top with caviar) - A wheel of Parmigiano snack Then the Table d'Hôte course started - Our choices are the following. # Les Entrées - Le Foie Gras : It came in the form of Terrine with a distinct flavor of truffle. Came with a brioche. - Le Boeuf : Tasty and enjoyable. The taste of fresh beef is enhanced by a hint of smoked seafood flavor. LOVED it. # Les Plats - Le Homard (Whole Nova Scotia lobster, confit potato, Comté cheese Armagnac and arabica sauce). I enjoyed the sauce that is condensed with lobster, brandy and a hint of coffee taste. - L'Agneau (Provencal Roasted Ontario lamb rack, green olive cream, Chickpea, reduction jus). Super tender, came in with different parts of lamb. # Les Desserts - Le Citron - Le Café Moka All the food had innovative and perfect combination of taste, flavor and textures, which not only hits the 5 senses of tastes, but stimulates visual sensation as well - all the presentations were meticulously artistic. At the end, we were served with a complimentary dessert for me, a birthday gal (lol) - marshmallows and chocolate - upscale version of smore - and a lovely birthday card! The gentleman who attended our table was entertaining and friendly. The sommelier was knowledgeable and her suggestion was to the point. Food was served well timed. One of the best dining experiences that I ever had. Thank you!

I was visiting Toronto for a work trip. After looking at local restaurants and not being particularly impressed with the selections, I opted for southern French cuisine, one of my favorites. They had a low key 4 course tasting menu at the bar that caught my eye. It came with a bunch of extra's from the chef. Throughout the meal, I kept googling to see if they had a Michelin star. I've dined at so many and this one had all the components. Great service, cool ambience, and creatively delicious food. One way I've always found food to be Michelin level is that each bite brings forth flavors that change throughout the duration of the bite. This one definitely had it. Pricing was great for this level of food. I would definitely experience this before they get that Michelin star, because it'll be at least double.

amazing ambiance and hospitality service, you truly feel so welcomed and taken care of the entire night ! we ordered the table d'hote and enjoyed every dish that came our way! the lobster and duck were among the best we've ever had and was explained in detail before every serving.

I have not had such a lovely gastronomic experience in toronto for a while! Just amazing. I can't recommend enough. Service was top, and the food literally left me speechless (hazelnut dessert). What perfection. Highly, highly recommend - you will NOT be disappointed.

Went here with friends. Service was top notch from the hostess to sommelier and wait staff. The food is intricate and very pretty. The dishes were good taste wise and good deal for 3 course meal at $130 with some dishes needing additional cost. Ordered the beef tartare which was ok as well as duck. The pecan dessert was the best out of all 3.

We came here to celebrate Valentine's Day and I hadn't had French cuisine for quite a while, so I was pleasantly surprised by the experience that I had here. We had a special tasting menu for Valentine's and I thought it was slightly underwhelming. One of the courses contained a vegetable broth and it was a bit too salty for my taste. The 2 most memorable courses by far were the quail and rabbit, which complimented each other well. What redeemed some of the more underwhelming courses was the beautiful presentation of them. As a foodie, I had a great time just taking pictures of each course as they came! The service was impeccable and the staff were attentive and friendly throughout the whole experience. It was clear that they were all very knowledgeable and paid attention to every little detail. Overall, the experience was quite pleasant and I'll be back to try the regular tasting menu!

Each part of the lunch was excellent. Caesar salad, ratatouille, mashed potatoes, salmon, baguette - all truly excellent. Service was simultaneous, outstanding and friendly. The only reason this is 4 but not 5 stars is because I wasn't told my salmon dish was cold. It was still excellent but I wasn't expecting a good dish. This is an experience to be savored!

The food, service, attention to detail, and overall atmosphere was incredible. Having each of the courses presented and described to us was as interesting as the food was delicious!

Food was delicious. A very fine dining experience! The staff is attentive and friendly. Plan on a romantic evening!

Ah, la grande cuisine française!!! Merci Yannick Bigourdan for returning French gastronomy to toronto. The menu features both eye pleasing and mouth watering presentations with impeccable service in the great tradition of la grande gastronomie. The only reason for 4 vs 5 stars is a somewhat cold and concrete room which does not do Justice to the warmth of the food and a smaller wine list that will hopefully expand as Lucie takes its rightful place among Toronto's top tables. Bravo! P

Went for my husbands birthday! The food and wait staff were amazing. Toronto needed more French cuisine, and I am glad we finally got it! Will be back!

I have been to multiple French restaurants and honestly this one wasn't the best. Food tasted average and our palate was left craving for more depth in flavours. The service however was top notch!

AMAZING food and service!! If you're a foodie and enjoy great food, you must go!!!! Everything was amazing!!!! Can't wait to go back!

A culinary gem! This modern French restaurant flawlessly marries old-world charm and contemporary flair. With each dish flavors come alive in exquisite harmony. The ambiance is chic, service attentive, and presentation an art form. For a taste of innovative French cuisine, this spot is an absolute winner.
