Brassaii
(Restaurants - French)
461 King St W, Toronto  M5V 1K7 • 416-598-4730
Distance: ~1.188 km from The Fairmont Royal York
Description: DOWNTOWN. Brasaii's contemporary gray and white decor takes its cue from the 1920s-era black and white photographic prints that line the walls. When combined with fantastic traditional French cuisine, the effect is a stylish dining experience that just may make you forget you're in Toronto. Starters include all the traditional favorites: escargots in garlic butter, onion soup, steak tartare, and mussels. Featured main dishes run the gamut from steak frites to salade Nicoise with seared tuna. Daily specials are reliably good as well, and desserts are sublime – try chocolate ginger truffle tart with caramelized mangos.

Executive Chef Jean-Marc Salvagno is possibly the most underrated chef in Toronto, having managed to keep a low profile since his arrival in Canada from the south of France. Michelin-rated in Avignon, in 2001 he joined forces with the renowned Claude Bouillet at Quartier, where he learned about his new Canadian audience. Chef Salvagno has a classic, technical French Bistro style, making Brassaii perfect for any foodie who not only LOVES French food, but knows that Duck Confit should never be crispy.
