If you've ever dreamed of basking in the glow of mediocre service while nibbling on beef tartare, then Paris Paris on Ossington Ave is your spot! This place is perched right in the heart of Ossington's bustling nightlife strip, which has recently become the go-to place for live music, quirky eateries, and nights you may or may not remember.
As you wade through the sea of coolness, you'll stumble upon Paris Paris with its sprawling patio that practically screams, "Come here, but don't expect us to be quick about it." The vibe? Defin Positive! The service? Well, let's just say our server may have been practicing the ancient art of invisibility. After sitting down, we had to perform a few flag-waving maneuvers to remind her we existed.
We decided to keep it simple and ordered a beef tartare to share. It was good, but it didn't exactly make us see stars. The Burdock beer, a local Toronto brew, was decent, and my partner sipped on a Rosé with the sophistication of someone trying to forget the hefty price tag. Speaking of which, our little adventure set us back $60 plus tips. We couldn't help but feel the price was as inflated as our hopes when we first sat down.
So, if you're in the mood for a positively slow experience with a side of alright beef tartare, give Paris Paris a whirl. Just don't forget to bring your patience and a sense of humour!
